Welp, time to use the app as it was intended: to document when the last time I gave the dog a bath was. She wasn't too upset about it this time.

maybe i am going insane

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Dog turned 5 years old today, so I took her to her favorite place in the whole world.

Way too long between baths/trims for this sweet gal.

Bath day Tsuki means I had a dog sitting in a depressive fugue all day.

The question the public should be asking is *not*, how high do rent increases have to be to justify past lending decisions? The question we should be asking is, how do we ensure that the costs of building overvaluation are borne by owners and lenders rather than tenants?

Spa day with my bestie. Who does not currently think we are friends.

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.

Got up at 6 AM on my week off to give this sad dog a bath.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be in the Twin Cities Friday thru... Monday AM? Hit me up if you want to attempt to chat, while my son demands you identify birds from his field manual and blasts Killing Joke. LOOK AT THAT WHAT IS THAT OOOOOH IT'S A GRRRRACKLE *"Eighties" fucking blares in background*

Only took 4.5 years for the dog to use her bed.

I love "auditing" the copper wire in my friend's house so I can maximize "efficiency" in my 6ers Nets game parlay

"How come my post on FB isn't getting any likes...?" "Oh yeah, it's a fuckin' ghost town on there now. That's why."

EMERGENCY PIECE: Elon Musk Wants to Get Operational Control of the Treasury’s Payment System. This Could Not Possibly Be More Dangerous. Worse, exclusive new information revealed here explicate how Musk’s actions relate to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (Link at the end)

In preview of my Monday morning piece, I'm going to say a little bit about why this is so concerning. This is not some "economy" thing. Its first & foremost the possibility that our legal order is modified so the law of the land is defined by Elon Musk at Treasury www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Over the coming weeks, ordinary Americans are in danger of learning a lot more about the “legal plumbing” of fiscal policy—far more than they could ever have the perverse desire to know. You can read the whole piece here. www.crisesnotes.com/everything-a...

I have not felt prepared to read this article today about the resignation of the Treasury's Fiscal Assistant Secretary (who was just acting Treasury Secretary) until like a half an hour ago. I finally did. Its terrifying. I'm terrified. archive.ph/yduKp#select...

After an extremely overdue bath, Tsuki was ready to say "fuck today" at 6:00 PM and go to bed. For the record, she has a 6 foot standing leap. She just insists that you have to lift her up to the bed every time. #puli

It's always been my position that "We don't actually need the money. Fuck them, that's why." would be an unbeatable slogan/message for raising taxes on the rich.

Me, weekly, bellowing in the chips aisle at Woodman's: "BRING BACK ALL DRESSED RUFFLE'S YOU COWARDS"

RE: the recent where'd you get your invite code/who'd you give yours to thing.

I must say this as clearly as possible: if you have, in the last ten years, thought "I just don't get tech" or that you're "getting old" or "you're not technical," you are the victim - so much of the tech industry is now oriented around making you do stuff rather than doing stuff for you.

Well, I guess I'll move the only thing I post over to here. My monthly post-bath dog photo to remind myself when she got cleaned. Enjoy "The Passion of Tsuki."

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,272,086! That's about where I'm at in the income percentile too. Huh.

@thecubic.net This better be fuckin' good

I've seen some shit, but also depressingly little. But hey, the Northern Midwest is full of gems too (many of which I have even yet to see). N: Flåm, Norway S: Key West E: Oslo, Norway W: Leadville, CO

$35 is pretty fuckin' steep just to have something to wear to a TRY OUT for Kidz Bop Slipknot. NOTE: It says ADULT size 2-4 years. Horror Jumpsuit Toddler will be tried as one.
