This is an excellent example of a logical fallacy that is seductive in its wrongness!

Inability to define X does NOT imply inability to identify not-X.

Take legumes. Can you define? Probably not. Ok, but does that mean you don't know whether a table is a legume?

Those are absolutely gorgeous. Even the cream background is so well chosen.

YMMV, but my best advice is to try and make him feel like you understand why he is stressed. Tell him about a time you were stressed by something that didn't matter. Agree that sometimes things can feel more monumental than they actually are. Can feel counterintuitive, but it works.

I cannot emphasize enough the value of a creative amateur outlet as stress relief and joy creator.

I world-build. My wife crochets. It can be dancing, drawing, writing, building, sewing, whittling. Doesn't matter.

Has to be for you. Doesn't have to be good.

I agree that a winning candidate looks different in different places and that more Ds in office > a few who all agree with me.

I don't think policy drives votes. Even pre-Trump, poli-sci found little connection. More true now. It's mostly vibes and authenticity ➑️ more policy freedom for candidates.

Awesome. Never ceases to amaze me the beauty that gets created when talented people do their thing just 'coz.

That first one will stay in my mind's eye as a character I want to know more about for a long time. Very cool art.

I am going to start a dating advice service where straight women write in and it automatically responds to all inquiries with:

"Break up. Divorce him. Kill him in his sleep."

It'd be right 90% of the time.

Absolutely stunning. What a distinctive and beautiful style you have.

Excellent 🧡on a technical & important aspect of SCOTUS' decision.

Speaking only for myself, it is impossible to see Alito as a judge in any meaningful sense of that word. I find that incredibly sad. Law school and, esp., my first clerkship, instilled a veneration for law that has not survived.

I hope you brought enough for everyone. Looks delicious.

I *need* the book in the first picture.

I love the oak die. That's really special.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His β€˜Girls’

ICYMI over the weekend: My colleagues and I reviewed 15,000 documents to put together a detailed account of how Jeffrey Epstein leveraged medical care to manipulate and control victims, and how some doctors enabled that. Gift link:

You should increase your prices!

(But not for me! πŸ˜‚)

Me commissioning something: Of course, that time frame is totally reasonable and I appreciate you fitting it into your schedule.

Me, to the calendar thereafter: WHY WON'T YOU MOVE? WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW????

We intentionally bought like 15 identical tiny blue tiger blankies for my eldest, and she nonetheless somehow picked one that is the real Blake and only that one will do.

I follow a lot of TTRPG artists on here and, let me tell you,*no-one* reposts artists more than other artists. To the extent that it can be hard to find their own work on their feeds.

If you can produce this, you should never feel any insecurity about your art ever again.

Travel 10 miles, sure. Run? I doubt I could no matter how much I broke it up, but I would try.

The tacos are trivial.

24 beers is more alcohol than I have consumed in aggregate in the last 5 years. I would try spreading it out over the day, but genuinely don't know what my body could process.

I know it isn't the point, but I read this and it drove home for me why I hate Ross. He has no personal growth. If anything, he starts as one of the best of them and then goes batshit insane over the course of the show.

Fact that they’ve already bombed Iran and declared that bombing to have totally achieved their objectives really ought to be raised more when they claim they’re going to do it again.
