the U.S. mormocracy grows

It's very easy to classify anything you don't like as "spam." As Elon is doing here. But once you've started down that slope you've already admitted you recognize the need to moderate *some* content. It's just a question of where you draw the borders.

banking on southern hospitality to not get castle doctrined by the neighbors as i rifle through bushes looking for a 20 lb cat🤩

only a fool would say no

SwiftOnSecurity & @SwiftOnSecurity • 8/3/23 I feel like we truly need to have a serious discussion about Taylor Swift coming in to sub out Joe Biden. The constitutional age requirement will be met by inauguration. There is _literally_ no legal block to this plan. It will work. And finally put a Millennial in control. @SwiftOnSecurity • 8/3/23 Taylor Swift is a transcendent global figure of statistically unequalled power. Remember there were only like 5 million people on Earth when Beatlemania hit. They had no other options. Taylor Swift is a lighthouse in the storm of time. The people will follow. They will Stan.

They said I was a fool, laughed in my face

could we work together to get a print of this to my friend 😳

first time for everything

leaving 1 of my six pack of oreo flavored coke zero unopened in honor of all the people who killed themself.

We have produced a lineage both oversexed in the mind and completely sterile in body. Where sweat has no smell and flesh has no sound and consequence ends when the scene does. What have we done. Why don't our geckos fuck anymore?

a screenshot from the short film THIS HOUSE HAS PEOPLE IN IT. a suburban kitchen, panelled in wood, as seen from a spy camera. the letters KTCHN are in the bottom left of the frame, and the angle is warped in the manner of a fish-eye lens. a woman in grey sweat shirt and sweat pants is slowly sinking into the floor in an unnatural and uncanny way

mootness only slightly delays this whole set of SCOTUS' review of agency delegation, which has been curtailing federal bureaucratic power since iirc 2021 in a few cases

USF is argued to be unconstitutional because it grants the FCC the ability to impose taxes without enough limits on where the agency's discretion extends. see: delegation doctrine. FCC loss could mean fed agencies must be explicit about how their power was granted by congress; 'chevron' is related

shit, no you're spot on. wish he had the stache though

we need a Tom Selleck for our generation

QHD 120hz is peak and anyone who says otherwise is a gpu industry shill

i think i resent cowardice above all else

and instantly it's almost too cold. few good days for potential hunting and i'm busy for most of it 😢

as for what they actually do, AFAIK there's some combination of resort-ness, therapizing, and life skills coaching involved. but the biggest change from everyday life is simply temporary absence of responsibility to focus on the self. the US has nothing to support that culture, even if it's win-win

itll be hard to introduce to the US given how far our work-life balance culture is from much of europe. but explicit burnout leave policies plus general support structures of any kind are the first way forward. look into german burnout employment policies, i think nordics have similar

CAH are shitlibs, proven racists at the very least. maybe a couple hearts in the right place, but overall we can throw their baby out with the bathwater of "performative left-wing capitalists"

The lucky author holds a single, roasted cacao bean with 1/2 the shell removed so we can see the pure chocolate inside. Behind his hand is a roasting tray filled with beans. The smell. THE SMELL.

This photo shows an aluminum roasting tray filled with a layer of cacao beans. When roasting, the aroma of the fermentation suddenly gives way to the overwhelming joy of fresh brownies. Yes, there is a spirit watching over us all.

Reader, I do not know the demons that haunt your dreams, the frustrations and insults of life that have brought you to your knees, the sadness you battle in your heart.

But know this: there is pure goodness in this world. It exists. Sometime we see a glimpse of it.

Today, I got such a peek.
