This is a good idea. I recently ran into some reasonably intelligent people born in the 1990s who strained to understand what the big deal with "the Y2K problem" was-- like, couldn't they just write a patch or something?

Why yes, I am partaking of the petty, ill-tasting joy which stems from the failure of others on this post-election day. Because their failure was deserved, earned, and may improve the nation.

What occupies the exact point of intersection of “flippin’ delicious in the eating” and “utter pain in the ass to make from scratch”? I got seduced by a free waffle iron and a need to show my family how much I love them.

I read the latest "Conservative Party of Canada Policy Declaration" from Sep 2023, and hoo boy. It has a number of pretty concerning sections, some of which I will highlight in the following thread 🧵 They sound like Trumpian language translated into calm, reasonable-sounding but dangerous Canadian.

I find myself (a mere outsider with no real understanding of international finance) wondering when China will decide that the quick way to get back whatever money is lost to the tariff slumps is to demand that the US repay its loans. Yes, I know, too simple. See parenthetical above.

I know the last go-round the Trump admin was called a kakistocracy, and fair enough, but what would "rule of absolute window-licking dullards" be? Anecephalocracy?

Randy Hoback put his sign over the gas station sign right before the turn into Ahtahkakoop. No consultation with the First Nation. This is typical Conservative attitude in Saskatchewan.

I think a lot of people on social media have a hard time experiencing happiness or seeing others hapoy. I think that’s why whenever they see someone post something happy, they rush with comments that include sad emojis, negative language and negative thoughts. Care for your metal health.

I’m minded to call what I had for supper tonight “the gift that keeps on giving,” but I wish to express the thought in German as it more clearly communicates my intention: das Gift das immer weitergibt. Funny how the same group of four letters represents… a noun… in two different languages, innit?

Finished Ray Nayler's THE TUSKS OF EXTINCTION about ten minutes ago, and now that I've safely dumped the emotional over-pressure induced by the last few pages (dabs hankie to corner of eye) I want to recommend it with all possible vigour.

I fell asleep watching the news. In my dream, I stood in a grey space with a tall man. He looked at me, eyes Cassandra-sad behind his glasses. "Jackpot," he said. I woke with a start.

I'm just going to keep pointing out these small* moments of collective action until it starts to click with folks that if we stand together we have all of the power. *this is actually a huge fricken deal, and it only took a couple clicks from a bunch of folks who collectively said No Fucking Nazis.
