I'm at a crossroads with the whole "Cybertrucks for Police thing." On one hand I hate the idea of anything that could arrest Tesla's stock market freefall; on the other hand giving cops chronically defective equipment feels like disarming the police.

The phrase "Little White Lies" implies the existence of "Big Black Truths." Active participation in Black History Month usually reveals some. #BlackHistoryMonth

European Spicy: is seasoned Latin American Spicy: is hot Thai Spicy: you will tell stories of this heat to your grandchildren as tales of contests between yourself and cuisine the spices of which rivaled the heliacal fire of Apollos chariot, perspiring at the very memory of it #spicy

Oh that's really sad news. RIP Richard Perry, producer of (among others) Captain Beefheart's Safe as Milk, Tiny Tim's first few albums, Fats Domino's Fats is Back, Ella Fitzgerald's Ella, Harry Nilsson's Nilsson Schmilsson and Son of Schmilsson, and Ringo Starr's Ringo, all essential listens.

New Jersey is way too car infrastructure dominant for how densely populated it is, and so much of our new development worsens this by adding more sprawl into previously undeveloped lands that are even less bike friendly and public transportation accessible.

It feels like nobody from Jersey is proud to be from here until they leave and the bagels and pizza are inedible, the beaches don't have boardwalks, and the downtowns are mid at best #NewJersey

When you can't let the cat go out because he might invade Poland

star wars did give us a slur for robots (clankers) but i don’t use it bc i don’t want to have to look a robot in the eye in fifty years and be like “you don’t understand it was a different time…”

It's wild that we thought of microwaves before air fryers. Somehow "let's bombard this thing with low frequency electromagnetic waves to excite water molecules" preceded "let's blow the air in the oven around with a fan lmao"

What if I told you that the only reason I am bald is that I’m afraid of a Ratatouille situation? What if I told you that I’d have so much hair if not for the fear of a rat using me like a puppet? These are modes of control, Neo. This is how they manipulate us. Ratatouilles, Neo. Rats that pull hair.

How to avoid paying taxes, billionaires 101.

I don't usually go for gendered observations, they're reductive. But... It's wild how when women (and to a lesser extent enbies) believe and identify with something completely unfounded in it's efficacy, those things are like horoscopes and wicca/neodruidry; and when men do it it's just fascism.

Some of my work for MAD.

Don't have an advent calendar, so I'm opening a different neighbour's window every morning. Today's pic: screaming man in a bath. Not very festive 🙁

It's a shame that the framing of exercise to improve one's physical health in the terms of "I hate my body and want to change it" has caused so many progressives to reject exercise in the name of self-acceptance. Rather, we have to reframe exercise as "I love myself therefore I deserve improvement."

If a product or service is a necessary component to a dignified life, providing it on a for-profit basis is extortion. If it's on the bottom two rows of the hierarchy of needs, the extraction of excess value from its commodification to benefit capital owners is theft, because one cannot do without.
