Girlfriend futures rise on report that Bobby has passed a "Do you like me, check yes or no" note to the girl who sits one up and two over from him in Mrs. Harrison's Language Arts class.

There should be a "do not perceive me" option at networking events, because why was I just eating a slice of Costco pizza next to the garbage can in a crowded warehouse when a man in a blazer and leather portfolio looked me in the eye, said "Yum, yum! 😃" and walked away.

We really can just do Nuremberg 2.0, if anyone cares to stand up a quick courthouse complex, World's Fair style, in this little town in Pennsylvania.

Every now and then I think about Viktor Orbán's little haircut and get angry all over again.

The term "stagflation" came to US English from UK English, where it was coined to contrast with "henflation". The UK pronunciation of the latter evolved to omit the "h" (as with "herb"), and so in US English is typically rendered as "inflation".

It is "wearing Tevas to the climbing gym" weather.

The first time I saw the Grand Canyon, it reconfigured my sense of scale. Like there was the definition of "big" I had before, and then the definition of "big" I had after, and they were different by an order of magnitude.

This is something I tell to everyone on the East Coast that I can. If you have never gone out and physically stood in front of The West before but just seen it in photos, you absolutely must. You think you have an idea, but you have no idea: it is stupendously, ridiculously bigger than you think

If you told it to not have "anxiety", it would string together a series of statistically likely words that amounted to "Sure thing, boss," and it would stop having "anxiety". That ain't consciousness.

Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

How many aircraft can one man carry?

I would describe myself as a "Nurembergist", in terms of schools of thought about consequences.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

I'm going to be helping my daughter with homework tonight. She's going to be shocked at just how focused I am on that, and that alone, starting around, say, 6 p.m. Pacific. It'll be like I'm wearing blinders. Might never take them off, actually.

I'm genuinely curious about this. Is it regional? Was there a place it started and then spread? Does its use/prevalence differ by race and class?

Dunk _and_ Egg? In this economy?

Me: that's Walter under the bridge Friend: it's "water" lol Me: *pointing to a body as it floats down the river* no

There's a guy I always see at the climbing gym I (usually) go to on Wednesday nights. He does a couple of warm-up climbs, then he takes off his shirt. Every time. V0, V2, V4, then off comes the shirt. Tonight he didn't take off his shirt. And that's how I know it's actually chilly.

A real actual thunderstorm? In Oakland?? Really???

Now that there is a rain.

Turns out Keith Jarrett's Köln Concert, which changed my life when I was 17, still packs a hell of a punch.

It would appear that the team from Seattle had the superbest owl.

I know people who went to Yale Law. They're not all That Way. But I'm afraid the existence of a single J.D. Vance requires the destruction of the entire institution. We simply have no choice.

Waiting at the shop for some car work. There are 3 other people in here. Two of them are watching video on their phones on speaker. I pray for the cleansing fire.

If you woke up today unsure if you should be withholding your labor in protest, the world has now offered you multiple fresh reasons to close all the window treatments and retire to your bed to mourn for one reason or another, or for multiple reasons.

It should have been him

why do cool people die young and bad people live to be 100

god gotta square up, there are so many other people who don't deserve to be here anymore

Maybe right now is not the best time to (literally) center your geared out bro-cops as if they are primarily responsible for the drop in crime that very closely tracks with broader national trends.

"this soda has 7 grams of protein" and this earth has fallen into irreversible corruption

It doesn't feel like a Saturday. It doesn't even feel fair or reasonable to expect it to feel like a Saturday. It is a Monday of the soul.

Today was this dear sweet cat's last day with us. Her decline was sudden, which I hope means she didn't suffer long. She leaves a her-shaped hole in our lives. Now who will sit on my chest and bump their forehead into my chin while drool-purring? Goodbye, Gracie. Thanks for killing all those mice.

Effing airplane, getting our hopes up.

Planning a summer trip that would include travel to at least one other NATO member country feels like a real shaky proposition at the moment.

We gotta get the word "homeland" out of the entire American government. It was always the seed of some Nazi shit; it just took a few decades for the flower to fully bloom.

Zero reason to believe any statement about the latest ICE shooting in Minneapolis from any level of law enforcement or DHS

New cult shrine icon just dropped

While I remain overall optimistic, a bit has flipped in my head: from “Maybe things will turn around before it gets too bad” to “Everything is definitely going to get so, so much worse, first” Now feels like the time to prepare

There are way too many rich, evil sons of bitches alive right now who should have the decency to walk into the sea. But no, they won't do it, so we gotta march 'em in there our damn selves.

ACCOUNTABILITY IS NOT VENGEANCE
