Same! I like a romance novel now and then, but I do not need *every* novel to be a romance novel. Sometimes I want a monster fight or just some good old fashioned interpersonal drama.

Return to plastic straws? You can get a plastic damn straw if you want one. You just have to ask for one. They’re a disability accommodation, but you can just ask too. They’re not contraband.

I mean, no, they can’t, and any other administration might care, but the rule of law doesn’t seem to much matter to these guys.

There was an attempt, at least? 😂

It wouldn’t take very many new memberships or increased support levels to make up their federal funding. It’s less than 1% of their budget. If you’ve been thinking about joining, now is a good time to do it.

One or two in the US were well liked. I can’t recall what they called the one built for Hoover Dam workers, but it was well regarded. Of course, greed ruins many concepts. Imagine Amazon City in 2025. It would be a hellscape.

Right? “Breathe farts, bootlicker” is one of the best things I’ve read all week.

Yes, most of their funding comes from donations, but it would be trouble they don’t need. Even a 5% pay cut means you have to reevaluate a few priorities.

I miss going days at a time without really thinking about the president.

Country of immigrants thing. Italian Americans brought over the word “pasta,” German Americans brought over the word “nudel,” and we toss them both around all willy nilly. Usually it’s Pasta if it’s Italian inspired and noodles if it’s anything else.

But if you kind of stir fry the noodles in the butter with some bread crumbs, parsley, and nutmeg, they are pretty good. 🤷🏻♀️

Yep. It was her consumer protection work that first drew my attention, and I really admire how committed she is to regular people.

Food regulations are… complicated. No country or union of countries has 100% apolitical and science backed regulations. Most of them (including the US) are going in the right direction, but honestly? Barring a rare allergy, Red40 is fine in the amounts used in food.

Mile for mile, air travel is one of the safest methods of getting from one place to another.
I have a feeling an airplane that is associated with both Boeing in the 2020s and Elongated Muskrat is the exception.

That’s… vaguely religious sounding.

I have gotten an assortment of requests from divorced or widowed military doctors with last names that sound like first names and first names that sound like last names. I guess they’re the “Tits in bio” equivalent for women over 40.

I saw someone yesterday refer to the car as “Te⚡️⚡️la” yesterday. Which was funny, but also, I’m so sick of Nazis I could scream.

The paradox of New Orleans. It’s a terrible place for a city, except that you need to put a city exactly there, where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico.
Both New Orleans and the state of California should get the aid they need after disasters, and anyone who says otherwise is a jerk.

Came here to say this. In some cases, organic might be more environmentally friendly, or have other benefits, but, nutritionally, sugar and organic sugar are the same thing.

Hawaii has the climate. But they don’t have the capacity to supply all the rest of us.

I don’t think the app developers have any reason to hijack BlueSky accounts.

Neither have I, but porn is like fungus online. It just pops up everywhere whether you want it to or not.

Your BlueSky login is your Skylight login. They’re building it on BlueSky infrastructure right now. That’s also why you have to upload videos here for them to show up there.

It’s going to be easier to convert them once a few more key features get added, like direct upload, profile, etc. We’re the early adopters right now. We’ll be there to help them move in when TT inevitably goes out of style or becomes unavailable.

I’ve been dabbling in classic horror a bit lately. Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived In The Castle is a really good one.

Some places only have bad options. I wouldn’t suggest someone walk across a busy street to avoid Target in favor of Walmart. If you have the reasonable ability, selecting the least evil option available to you is good. If you don’t, do what you have to. 🤷🏻♀️

Even if it were as miraculous as they claim, I value the ability to poop regularly too much to try it.

It also won’t mean much when most of the US keeps calling it the Gulf of Mexico.

Sounds more like we need to repeal the 80s.
As always, fuck Ronald Reagan.

I wish there were a Costco in a reasonable distance from me. My best option is Aldi.

Honestly, that’s most of them. The current governor of MS won with a resounding 50.4%. Even with all the suppression efforts, they rarely get big margins.

Also, I don’t WANT to move. The south has enormous problems. It also has a hell of a lot of good, and it’s my home. I don’t want to leave and let them have my home and my people.

The musical is so different I think it stopped being an adaptation and became its own thing. If you read the book, got a little drunk, and described the broad strokes of the plot to the really funny person next to you, they’d come up with the musical.

It’s heavy. It handles some really sad subject material. It’s not a light comedy like the adaptation. But if you enjoy the occasional difficult read, I think it’s a good one.

I really liked the book. But if one decided to read it based on the play/film, I can see why it would be disappointing. They are very different.

He just did a vintage lemon jello, cool whip, blue cheese, raisin concoction too. The color was… fascinating.
