I’m finally going to listen to my doctor and eat more vegetables and get more fresh air

Everything looks like I have night shift cranked up all the way on my iThings.

Well that's fucking sad. 😢 "Kindergarten teachers say that many of their students don’t know nursery rhymes or fairy tales, Benjamin Powers, the director of Yale and the University of Connecticut’s Haskins Global Literacy Hub, told me."

Considering that management at Ford and GM freely chose to ignore the obvious global shift to EVs and have since pivoted with temporary domestic political winds... maybe "let Detroit go bankrupt" would not be such a politically unpalatable phrase if things reach that point again.

It’s silly to get mad about slandering a fictional character written by a guy who died over 50 years ago, but Earendil didn’t become the first mortal to visit Valinor and plead to the Valar for help in defeating Morgoth the Great Enemy just for some tech bros to name a stupid satellite after him

As should we all.

Yep. Leftists own Platner lock, stock, and barrel. They were the ones who identified him & pushed him. Most of us non-leftist Democrats vocally opposed him even after he became the nominee. This one is on Bernard, Liz, & their legions of idiot leftist followers.

“Once upon a time,” said Frog, “there were two good friends, a frog and a toad.”

Bleahhhhhhhhhhhh

“…Zan and Jayna. And space monkey Gleek” Or perhaps “tra-la-la, la-la-la-la, tra-la-la, la-la-la-la”.

Aren't pictures like this supposed to have the subject holding a copy of today's newspaper?

Nope. Not unless poisons cause aortic dissection. bsky.app/profile/phil...

@radiofreetom.bsky.social given a couple of your posts recently I thought you'd appreciate this one.

That’s…a *perfect* description.

Interesting. Bill Browder (author of the Magnitsky Act) is calling for Graham to be tested for poisons since poisons that cause heart attacks are a Russian specialty and Graham just got back from Ukraine and even for all Graham’s sucking up to Trump he was still hardcore on Russian sanctions bills.

Uplifting stuff at church this morning ✌️

So we're just speedrunning the circumstances that led to the creation of Mossad and the laws banning antisemitism in Europe because they got tired of scooping up nazis out of alleys, huh? And if you want to know what Israel thinks of this - they're using leftists like Piker in their Alliyah ads.

As someone who lived through the 70s, 80s, and 90s it is quite bizarre to see this.

:chefskiss:

Well, being wrong almost all the time has never stopped Reich before, so there's that.

Nailed it!

And to be clear, anyone who thinks it's worth electing rapists & Nazis b/c they say nice things on the campaign trail in fact should be driven away. This country has over 350 million people. There's more than enough of a pool who aren't rapists & Nazis to chose from that will still meet those goals

You can add me 100% to the group that thinks it's non-negotiable to elect rapists & Nazis, because they say nice words on the campaign. And the terrible attempt to conflate "people are not perfect" with "we might just have to elect rapists & Nazis to achieve political goals" is pretty transparent.

Yup. @dandrezner.bsky.social is right. open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

Odd meat sauce, mustard, onions, celery salt. As any true Rhode Islander would.

So are all of us Toad, so are all of us. Figuratively as well.

Hell yeah! (Says someone who, ahem, wrote a 10-page paper the night before it was due on a bunch of reading not looked at until that night. Slipped it under the prof’s door at 8am.)

Well yes, the CA approach was an incredibly stupid, inequitable fix. MA’s approach was much better: 1) the limit is on the total tax collected by the municipality, *not* on a per-property basis. So no “identical houses with a 5x tax difference”

DID YOU KNOW IF YOU FIND A HORSESHOE CRAB THATS BEEN TAGGED BY THE FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE AND SUBMIT THE LOCATION YOU SAW IT USING THE FORM ON FWS DOT GOV SLASH CRABTAG THEY SEND YOU A BEAUTIFUL CRAB PIN

Turn around bright eyes… 😢

A values system that views Pete Buttigieg’s time at McKinsey as disqualifying, but Graham Platner’s time at Blackwater as not, has beclowned itself regardless of the subsequent scandals.

Fuck that. He’s a horrible, arrogant, narcissistic human being and I don’t remotely come close to feeling bad for him in any way whatsoever. He has agency and he *chose* to take this route and what’s happened is all on his head.

all i want is a timelime where news stories don't appear to be written by throwing a handful of magnetic poetry at a fridge

Platner quite literally sounds exactly like Trump here, and while these consultants have a lot of responsibility for empowering him, this is a deeply damaged person

Zzzzzzzzzzzing! (And quite true.)

1) how can it be 41 years??? 2) great movie! 3) I still tear up a bit

Another entry has been post at my Substack: KHAAAAAAAN! … and Me (or How I Learned to Love Star Trek - Part I) open.substack.com/pub/nicholas...

it's weird to have gone from "one more prompt, bro, surely that will make the spaghetti feature work" to now "just one more feature PR to put out for review before I go to bed" it's addictive, but like, productively so as opposed to spinning-in-place

I mean, this is the thing.

"Perhaps next time these officeholders, influencers, advocates, and organizations will think twice before throwing their full-throated support behind someone they do not actually know or, at a minimum, withhold support from those who are clearly unacceptable.

Wowwwww! Also, props to S22 for sticking it out.

Yeah baby!!

If only.

OMFG

Its invasiveness was amply illustrated by “The Pitt” this season, even as done by a very sympathetic character.

I need to find a place to use that second paragraph!

Oh, this is great!! youtu.be/Xtt78SW-mgg?...

SurPRISE, surPRISE, surPRISE

Well, it’s not like being disgustingly isn’t totally on brand for Nero Nazi Oysterboi, after all.
