The Day We Met: Chapter 4, Page 49

In large part I think "third spaces" went away only in the sense of physical places. The Internet let us socialize with people _anywhere_, not just those near us, and as people move we like to keep contact with friends so we migrated to ways we could.

I'll show Mitch exactly the same respect he's shown other people.

We are currently birdsitting a cockatiel baby girl and she decided my wrist is the best place to nap.

It says something about humans that we continue to consider Mt. Everest the ultimate climbing challenge _despite_ the fact that the majority of landmarks on the path to the summit are the frozen bodies of previous climbers.

"Great American State Fail"

Having a giant tub of Lego pieces was so important for me growing up, and it's so disheartening to see how it stopped being a fun way for kids to build an infinite number of different toys and became just another overpriced collector's item for adults

Let's see, how many times exactly has Trump "completely destroyed" Iran's military now? I've lost track. Donnie's congenitally incapable of finishing anything he starts, his whole career has been fucking up and getting a buddy to take it off his hands. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

And yes, clearly attendance is WAY lower than the administration anticipated. There was no line whatsoever the whole time we were there despite preparations for a long one. It’s not empty, but it’s very far from full. A LOT of attendees were DC residents like us who were just curious to witness it.

Ozzy and the soot sprites he made with his goth wife.

I feel like it would somehow be fitting if Four Seasons Total Landscaping is called in to fix the reflecting pool

The only "vandalism" that occurred was done at Trump's behest. The reflecting pool was perfectly fine until he decided to tear it up and have one of his buddies "fix" it, leaving it completely trashed. Trump's career in a nutshell. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Every conservative dystopia becomes a recruitment poster.

Why did they so surgically find the guy with the exact face MAD Magazine or CRACKED would draw wearing those glasses?? I can’t stop looking at him!! My eyes are WATERING in public??

I think I just made the coolest glam ever #FFXIV

oh hey its the thing everyone said would happen

I'd take the weevils over screwworms any day.

One thing to correct in this article: The S&P didn't give SpaceX fast-track entry, so that initial price support from forced demand from index funds won't be there. The possibility of an early price crash is high. www.thestreet.com/investing/st...

Discworld QOTD, from The Last Hero

Anyone who says "Scientists don't want you to know..." apparently haven't ever asked a scientist "So, what've you been working on recently?". If they had, they'd still be roped to the chair while the scientist expounded.

are you telling me this guy wasn’t even spying for a foreign country and just made up a fake program to steal gold bars from the federal government? that’s way funnier

I see Magyar understands his job and some people seem upset by that.

“David Sirota wrote an essay at Jacobin dismissing the idea that private behavior should ever matter more than a candidate’s policy positions. But, again, it feels mostly like a proxy for Sirota’s own animosities. And, again, it comes off as casually misogynistic”

Now if Trump would only get the clue that BiBi _never_ acts in anyone else's interests, only his own. And his own include making sure no Palestinians exist anywhere inside the area claimed by the Israeli government as it's own. www.axios.com/2026/06/01/t...

Discworld QOTD, from The Fifth Elephant

the Piecemaker, for those who have not read Discworld yet, is a troll-sized “crossbow” that fires a bundle of twenty arrows at once due to the forces involved they tend to disintegrate in midair and everything in its path is hit with a cloud of supersonic flaming shrapnel he means business

oh thank goodness they put two separate adult content labels to hide this incredibly nsfw pizza

Something I realized trying to set up Voice Typing in Windows for gaming: I don't really want voice typing. What I want is to to STT into a buffer and then, on command, paste that buffer into my chat surrounded by the right command characters. Which the Windows tools don't consider to be a use case.

The correct answer to middle school level taunts calling you a gay transgender vegan is "I think it's interesting that Paxton and his allies can't attack my stances on the issues actually affecting Texans, like the high prices and human suffering caused by Republican policies"
