Looking for a book about the Gilded Age so I can be off the computer for a while and also get my spirits up, using the power of history

We could get some impeachments going if Democrats took their opposition researchers off of "Collecting Sound Bytes For State Campaigns" duty and put them on "Collecting Blackmail" duty.

I dove into 15 random Facebook profiles from my high school class in NW FL, expecting at least someone to be talking about politics. Not a single one. Everyone's just sharing pictures of their kids and being regular exurban millennials. Nobody is mad. Nobody's gloating. It's all very normal.

if you're a democrat with a national platform and you're using it to promote this tired, cruel, disingenuous idea of trading trans people for a vanishingly tiny number of uncooked, hypothetical median voters, the party should take away your laptop and phone until you shut up

2025 is a year for listening to an entire Tim Hecker or Godspeed album, front to back, and never learning what any of the tracks on the album are called

two guys at Heritage Foundation Labs staring slack-jawed at a whiteboard full of formulas and calculations. "We did it," one finally says to the other. "We found the exact amount of pain Americans will endure per day before organizing a rebellion. Now we can finally dismantle the government."

Cruelty is so childish. You put the pain chemical in other peoples' brains just to get the good chemical in your own brain? Seems pretty silly. Grow up and get a drug dealer.

I guess agents can torture a legal resident without any fear of being outed, ostracized from society, or thrown under the bus by their bosses during a future inquiry. Even the cynical, selfish reasons not to torture fellow human beings on American soil are gone.

Thinking about buying the Safety+ plan for my flight out to Disney's Yellowstone National Park. Those planes use the old network of air traffic controllers and not just the automated stations run by AI. But it's a $400 surcharge... same price as visiting the Chevron Presents Old Faithful pavilion

The CR will of course ratfuck the entire federal government but DC– the actual place where a lot of good people live, and also me– is for-real actually seriously going to be forced to cut a billion entire dollars from its budget because these assholes won't stand up and fight.

It's one of the small indignities of being a D.C. resident: Being told to call your representative or contact your senator when you want to weigh in on national issues. (Hi, we don't have any!) It's even worse when it's Congress messing with the city's local budget. 51st.news/spending-bil...

"'Jobs that require just logical thinking are on the chopping block, to put it bluntly,' she says. 'I think the pendulum is swinging back to the creative side of things.'" Imagine a world where we didn't push creative thinkers to leave tech.

Ah, rent-seeking banks leasing farmland back to farmers and fucking up markets in the process. Farmland as a service. Farmland as a serf-ice.

When I get dementia I'll be repeating quotes from the Nickelodeon animated television series "Rocket Power" and not repeatedly raising tariffs on my closest allies.
