There has to be some explanation for this scenario in recurring dreams. I have never actually taken a break from the wheel to pop into the back seat for a break, and yet.

The vacuum cleaner manufacturer, not the U.S. President

A new-to-me MRMR FUNGI!

There is some extraordinary ad placement in the Tennesseean today.

This is similar to the crank claim with a germ of truth that 20th century America "invented" adolescence and the concept of teenagers. There may have been a new cultural framing, but puberty was not invented in the 1920s, nor the ancient category of "youth" between childhood and maturity.

A false covenant

Commissioning opposition research when one is not famous enough to go on Finding Your Roots

Am I the only one who got kind of a St Valentines Massacre vibe at :33 when they lined up the groundbreakers and set off a rat-a-tat of fireworks behind them?

On January 20, 2025 I said that things would become worse than we could possibly imagine. I hate being right.

This is one kind of writing that *could* be unnoticeably replaced by LLM slop without a drop in quality.

And the two who were actually educators had to work far more than twice as hard and had to be far more than twice as smart to make it up there with a college dropout whose big break was complaining about how woke and liberal his highschool economics textbook was and discouraged college attendance.

Arguably Evanston has a seething, barely-unspoken hostility to its major university, seeing it as a permanent property tax problem and seeking to strongarm it into paying up. The university and the town mutually view one another as parasitic and extractive, but they can't divorce.

Being terrified of Stalin if one is close to him is also the appropriate mindset.

He's like the fitness "content creators" who are just blogging content from 1950s-90s diet and exercise books. He reposts late 18th - early 20th century theory from the golden age of scientific racism.

He is clearly a counterpart to Lake Zurich "ok" punching kid. Non-nazi non-looksmaxxing youts are rising to occasions.

There is always, always, always a market for the pitch, "kids these days are spoiled brats, and their parents are weak for not cracking down hard."

"My day performing labor in exchange for an agreed-upon wage; if we were a proper country this would be done by low-level non-white drug offenders sentenced by the courts to shovel the walk in front of my home: A Memoir"

I think there are many younger people who grew up in a household/community where those strategies were still necessary to survive, but were able to see themselves as temporarily stuck in insular holdouts in a more liberalized world. Now the premise of the safer liberalized outside is eroding.

Do I understand correctly that the big Green Party winner in this election is the daughter of Princess Peach and Luigi?

I mean, if I'm going to be exposed to mercury, I at least want to be able to pour it out of the capsule and play with it in my hand.
