Liberals: We need to upgrade the water mains in this neighborhood. Me: How about water teleporters. Liberals: Why do you not want people to have water.

Girls do their best and are volunteering now. Please wait warmly.

The physics tells us that the RBMK reactor design, with a large positive void coefficient, power spike from the control rods at scram initiation, and instability at low power, is inherently unsafe.

Sometimes I Dunepost.

All you have to do is poke these people a little and they reveal their deeper anxieties and insecurities.

I hope you get the natgas plant's emissions piped directly into your home.

"You can't call me racist, I'm Cherokee!" is a helpful reminder from Markwayne Mullin that for every group of people in the world, one of them must be the dimmest bulb on the tree, and Markwayne pulls triple duty in that role for the Cherokee Nation, Oklahomans and former competitors in the XFL.

I like that Doug Wilson is articulating that this is a product for a (large) segment of the market which doesn't need the high-end capabilities which John Deere and co. provide gated behind their repair monopoly, not a statement against "tech", "sensors", etc.

This dude is deleting all the posts he made pretending to be a person of (vague, undefined) color in order to talk about ethnic cleansing and shock people. What a lack of poster's honor.

for nerds

One of the real difficulties for a renewed vision of the American republic which haunts this column throughout: the Bonapartist Trump/Heritage Presidency is an outgrowth of the "imperial presidency", itself an evolution from a series of structural challenges in the 20th century.

The argument that partisan gerrymandering is non-justiciable and a valid interest is so self-censoring in its full implications. Take it to its limit, and the Court majority is claiming that there is no right to free and fair elections as such.

Fixing the implausibility of a well-established SF setting by spelling "laser" as "lazer", therefore indicating it's something different.

Say what you will about Californians, they got through a modestly acrimonious gubernatorial primary and I barely heard any of the acrimony until the end... maybe certain states *coughing out "New Myorkaine"* can learn from this...?

I honestly have trouble picking which three to vote for in the elementary/middle school category... the spirit of the voting werewolf is alive and well.

Am I cool, am I uncool? Who cares, I have a big bowl of rice to enjoy.

It is also the case that book-Bond has essentially no encounters with femmes fatale (the Thunderball film invented Fiona Volpe). Instead, he keeps encountering antagonistic lesbians: Klebb, Bunt, Pussy Galore...

...Is the guy who's nominally the President of the United States taking the Montreal Cognitive Assessment or some similar dementia screening test *every day*? They must be expecting or tracking a rapid decline.

I've already gotten texted twice that this is making the repost rounds again in time for pride month. So I'm reposting it on my own account, because I drew it. Happy Pride Month!

"Omg did you see what the latest Platner scandal is? Like he was sexting the whole ti—" You bolt awake in Washington DC. You are not online. It is 1842 AD. You are Alexander Baring, 1st Baron Ashburton, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Canada must annex Northern Maine

happy pride month

I wrote about The Westing Game, book bans, and not lying to kids as part of my "Foundational Texts" essay series. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

Foghorn Leghorn time. Needed two posts to fit it all in.

This is yet more evidence that Glorantha's Lunar Empire is inadvertently wildly Chinese. The Manicheans are called "Spolites" or "Carmanians" depending on your taste.

I don't care what anyone thinks, I think it's heartwarming that even after eating Mr. Wonka's experimental gum and getting juiced afterwards that Mr. Rosenberg was able to find a career on right-wing talk radio.

Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks all Jews are white

Brand new homes are expensive primarily because building them costs a lot of money and the sale or rental price needs to cover the cost of construction. We have a housing affordability problem because restrictions on new home building have driven up the prices of OLD housing that should be cheaper.

“As such, at this preliminary stage, I conclude that the Hegseth Policy is both arbitrary and based upon animus, and for those reasons the Policy violates Plaintiff-Appellees’ constitutional right to equal protection of the law”

Another day, another round of people convincing themselves that industrial civilization comes to a halt by the end of the month.

Of course, at this point you're no longer in the realm of model railroading, so it's not surprising that there's not an independent game which tries for something less micro-heavy than TTD...

Today, I am thinking about the game Simutrans and how so many of its "paksets"/play rules require players to run freight and leave passenger service as a loss leader which may become profitable late in the game... but the underlying mechanics assume individual "convoys" with static composition.

Truly appalling that Labour leadership is apparently in firm agreement that they must continue down the path of attempting to eliminate trans people from public life in the UK.

Happy Pride Month!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️
