How do you sell Paella to Minnesotans? “The hotdish of Spain” 😂

153a. New beach and harbor appear overnight between 41st and 57th

good morning. thought for the day is: i'm pretty sure You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive would work just fine arranged for square dancing

Holy crap. One truck was carrying eight tonnes of butane cans, another was transporting resin, a third contained memory foam and a fourth was packed with alcohol, fuelling the resulting fire and explosions," Fire and Rescue NSW said in a statement. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

right before the seafaring epic about human settlement of the northern marianas, and then the master & commander franchise reboot

will 100% watch the bobby eggo et al middle english joint, but will also be honest i'm waiting on some madwoman's linguistically grounded steppe western that takes a shot at explaining tocharian: but why, and how?

The piping plovers this morning at Montrose Beach

"when state police found em, truck and trailer had been sitting out in the sun for three days." we hand around the jar of vicks vaporub "you don't need to see this or smell this," i tell the rookie before throwing open the doors to reveal an amorphous mass of ten thousand melted yankee candles

how are my fellow overbrunching, civic-dialogue-averse infosilo'd device hoarders who are also, uh, [matching up my bingo call] inducted to the army of sexual despair by the tradoc of discursive heteropessimism

If I had a big pile of money for climate stuff, I'd start a nonprofit heat pump installation firm in a dense city. Integrate as much of the supply chain as possible and show what the true deployment cost is without all the profit siphons along the chain from manufacturers, distributers, installers.

love 2 go past local hullabaloo project and see the komatsu pc490 heavy hydraulic excavator swinging on a sunday, four dudes in hivis standing around a muddy pit looking Sad, and have exactly nothing to do with it

i not wish you ill if you enjoy Fast Food Sandwich Chain but i do hope the Vertical Spit Flatbreads Restaurant With Milsurp MRAP Windshield Cashier Window next door wins eternal victory in the its vendetta

Proving that it’s never too late to learn I have just discovered that Phoebe Waller Bridge and Phoebe Bridger are two different people.

wake me up when i can virtualize the workflow of leveraging drone logistics and the distributed power of deliveroo UGV fleets to move every fake FOP newspaper and scam coupon bundle out of our neighborhood gutters and onto the lawns of the people who sent em, random intervals and quantities

that we got unremappable copilot button and oma & opa necromancy instead of one–button in–call access to a daemon persona designed to 1. waste the time of and 2. discover as much hard information about telemarketers as possible is how you know everywhere-integrated consumer AI is "Dog Shit"

maybe someone has done "all links and their cards are spoilered" via moderation tools

for me & maybe other people, we might benefit from "preview cards on links are disabled by default" and OP has to make a deliberate choice to use one. it would be better if it were easier to choose a smaller strip thumbnail, and it would be better if all that were more fiddly than not

a browser integrated tool i'd enjoy and which i would pay for, like GTA6 money, and which would involve some brand of local computer vision pattern matching or calls to an existing service would be: "rightclick block this image and variations on this image for N days"

Me working on my car.

people fixate on aircon wars but real old heads know the place to be is out with t-probe and entrenching tool fossicking and nighthawking shrinking perimeters of perennial alpine ice. any of us could be the next jerk from darmstadt to walk out of switzerland with an intact prehistoric longbow

horney's on main and antonov plane, this is good, this is what we want

Horney's (on Main) Clinton, IN

sorry I was nodding off while you were talking did you say you wanted to see a “Genesis Magma GT3” or “Some Sort Of Antonov Plane” Oh that’s not what you said at all? Interesting. You’re sure? Interesting.

if i ranched eddies it'd be eddie 26-034, 24-122 and never names; that's not universal even within my milieu. some people name sheep they intend to eat. people have different ways for defining which entities and phenomena in the world engage in mutual regard, are accorded what measure of dignity,

if i were to wild catch an eddie (he/him) i'd get him off the hook ASAP and onto the chunk of firewood i keep on the bottom of the canoe, and then i'd bash him in the head with a 2lb hammer, cut his throat, bleed him out, and put him on ice

153. Cop in Fairplay Foods parking lot idling lights on siren off appears to be fixated on pair of odd-looking geese

152. Midday visit to tire shop raises disturbing possibility neighborhood icecream guy has full-time job, side hustle, and side-side hustle

I suppose I'd put it this way: small steps toward a big goal plays differently than small steps toward a small goal, even if they don't seem like they'd be that different in practice. The orientation around it actually does matter

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

it's going to be the rest of our lives trying to walk back deliberate architectures of legalized cruelty and economic-infrastructure own goals, hoping there was enough margin to wind up with "better" instead of "less worse"

Did you know that we have a nearly unbroken span of legal records from the 13C in England that have not been calendared, much less edited & published? Only in the last 20 years have these records been digitized & that has been the dogged project of a dude at a university in Texas. 4/n

Sherlock Holmes: Moriarty, my one intellectual equal Moriarty: Holmes, my one nemesis, for you alone can match my genius Sherlock Holmes: let us settle this great game, this contest of wills, in the only way it is appropriate *two drunks kick each other in the stomach by a waterfall*

two modern sff compendia stand out for me in terms in how they are inextricable from and unimaginable without the fictive realization of the complex interdependent sociocultural, political, and economic matrices of the kind Doc BD discusses in this series first would be the vorkosigan saga (1/n)

"Digitally handmade" is a useful, vital distinction. Collage work of existing images, authored in an image-editing platform (and done within the bounds of fair use) is the actual remix culture. Typing "make me an image in the style of this creator" into a generator trained on unlicensed art is theft

can we get an ecumenical interfaith religious order that does dentistry. you know i haven't been keeping up on flossing. i'm not in this chair to lie, i'm here to express penance of heart and soul

dad has always been a strong advocate of dishwasher hand pre-rinse, so this fathers day i got him a Snap-on high pressure countertop parts washer with plumbing-protecting oil skimming basin and solids trap, plus a couple liters of "certified nontoxic for culinary use" flash rust inhibitor

We have not been to Isle Royale since the 1980s. But we're ready, if we do go back.

the author's graf on the agency/awareness discrepancy is good to think about, if we imagine our unnamed annoying abolitionists rucking up to emerson's place with their Thy Thoughts Unbounded By The Earthly Sphere, Thy Deeds Conducted Wherever Be Thy Hands waggon placard

thinking about it and "mindfulness and healthy choices for Problematic News Consumption" annoys the bejeezus out of me because there's a line in Self Reliance where it's clear that Ralph Waldo Emerson, in 1841, is crit fail levels of Wrong and if he doesn't figure it out you can chuck it in the bin

yeah i suffer from P³NC, Pervasive Piping Plover News Consumption
