Japanese-style laws around car ownership and overnight street parking are a little draconian and that's Good, Actually

"Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem." it is THE problem, imo, like that is definitionally a huge component of fascism

good day for new musics imo

genuinely fucking funny for Republicans to be angrily screaming that the Republican candidate, who won the Republican primary, ran as a spoiler against the Independent candidate that lost the Democratic primary

to the tune of "potholes in my lawn"

i don't know much, but i do know that i personally would like @chatpileband.bsky.social and hayden pedigo to come to santa fe

today is the day that donald trump finally became president

STOP, YOU'RE MAKING A TERRIBLE MISTAKE

on the one hand, i would've gone absolutely crazy for wikipedia if it had existed when i was a kid and that would've been great otoh, i would have been even More Annoying

haven't seen actual frontal bossing since med school

Guin -- Getting Kroeber'd

“at least half [of all people] are inherently bad” is wrong on many levels and a truly awful way to mobilize support for any kind of political project how is this person taken seriously as a political analyst

literally just got two bags of huel last week for breakfasts welp

dudes rock

very close to pulling the trigger on replacing my range/oven with a dedicated wok/induction type jawn. swap out the actual oven for additional dedicated storage (which is all its used for now anyway)

this is obviously bad, and the new tariffs with china are going to immediately kill any smugness i have here, but, for now, you can still buy some out of this world high quality tea for significantly less than basic costco brand coffee

still remain convinced that our current political climate is heavily underwritten by the fact that many conservatives fundamentally believe that cities were a bad idea like a huge chunk of voters have no ideological commitments beyond Cities Bad

do you have what it takes to be a christmas adventurer

gave me more of a begbie-hulud vibe tbh

somehow reassuring that this govt continues to make unforced errors that will likely erode support from demos they could easily have locked up

One Battle After Another: absolute banger

starting to think that an increasingly senile trump is being shown a different reality by his aides by making ai videos of shit and telling him it’s real news

dudes rock

many such cases

sorta crazy to think that when It Happens not only will there be block parties here in the states but, like, worldwide pity he won’t be able to see it

twenty minutes into Slow Horses s5 and it’s feeling uhhhh topical

fwiw any rifle using a stripper clip has got to be borderline antique

how many reichstag fires are these guys gonna set

my wife finishes buckling my tear gas bandolier and kisses me sadly on the cheek. I hug my children. They don't know if I'll even be coming back to read them a bedtime story on any given day. It's the danger inherent to my job: finding the smallest woman I can and hurling her across a paved road

still think that this nation will never ever move forward until it's broadly socially acceptable to acknowledge that every single foreign conflict we've been involved with was at the very best a colossal failure and most of the time evil and dishonorable

omg lol

One sliver of hope in all this is that the tariffs may actually save America. Of the many Bad and Stupid things he’s doing they’re the most singularly Trump idea (vs Miller, heritage foundation etc) and the most likely to completely wipe out his softer working class support

just gonna pretend I didn’t see this

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

my mom’s bike got stolen and she’s been calling/texting me with bike questions all weekend. hell yeah, mom, i was literally born for this

if if you if you could if you could only if you could only stop if you could only stop your if you could only stop your heart if you could only stop your hearbeat if you could only stop your heartbeat for if you could only stop your heartbeat for one heart

RFK jr should be [lawyer whispers in my ear] uhhhh… impeached

Dan dan mian 20min start 2 finish incl dishes and clean up (forgot the after stirring pic oops)

this took 40min start to finish, prepping things into little bowls and everything, including doing the dishes

saw someone on here complaining about how cooking shows are unrealistic and rely too much on "putting things in little bowls" and prepping stuff ahead of time and, like, that's how you cook well. that's mise en place. the show is teaching you what to do to get better, ya dingus

listening to 'the king of limbs' for the first time ever and realizing that the reason i never did before was because the cover art is just so bad

we should've had at least 80 years of arthur russell man

i want a presidential candidate that will strengthen the social safety net, restore funding to the arts and sciences, disband ICE, jail most of the trump administration, eliminate billionaires as a class, and disavow israel your thing is cool too i guess

fellow providers: always worth asking pretty explicitly about how people actually manage their medication i've had more than a few patients tell me that they keep their meds in a bowl! like candy! take whatever feels right at the time! knock it off!

ethical q into the void: does continuing to make/consume animal stock (made from what is essentially the waste stream of the commercial meat industry) constitute a meaningful harm reduction if used with plant-based 'meat' sources? akin to 'meat ok if from dumpster' and 'oysters are vegan'

my 'weapons' review: now that's the stuff! thanks for reading
