Anyone who’s like over 30 years in 2025 and still doing sheepdogging and/or schoolmarming about protests or public acts of resistance should have their phones taken away from them. What are we doing here

Just had my first Summer Bite this evening

what a chaotic and nerve-withering Brewers win

I don't know why I never took the time to figure this out on my own, but here it is in a few easy steps. Took about 2 minutes. Fuckkkkkkkk ai results

Bartender: “say, I never did get your name, friend. whadda they call ya?” Me, walking out the door, into a cool night rain: “They call me…Peanuts Baggu.”

have completed the Summer Turf Ritual for this week, these rains on the Front Range have been great, but my god, the extra bags

Must be cool to get top-down shots from 5 and a half feet off the ground

Amen. You can also go swim some laps. You can make it some of the most intense exertion imaginable if you want, but you can also take it easy and use a kickboard. The number of times I’ve regretted swimming is like twice, ever.

It is probably an ethical good to get on your parents’ computers without their permission, go to tenbluelinks.org, and restore their default engines to “Web”

There will a come a time in this world where people who worked with ICE will be found out, and many of them (and their family members) will cry and say they were forced to, or didn’t mean it, or tried to keep their pension. Your job is to not let anyone believe them.

Elect me your premier, and I promise to send multiple broadcast signals into space, each just 3 minutes of sick surfing video clips. That oughta impress those aliens.

You can do worse in describing the culture war as “people who are rough readers* caring a lot about what they little understand” vs “fluent readers who think giving a damn that hard is unseemly” *rough readers are stuck in literalism

Dial the anime eyes back, Shirley, we’re gonna startle someone here

btw, if someone tries the “why doesn’t anyone make these criticisms about Rwanda?” gambit, feel free to point them my direction. we can have a good long chat

Does anyone have good modern American Declinism writers they’d recommend? I’m not just talking someone who’s upset things are going down, or trying to make the decline fit a neat explanation, but someone really exploring why/how things are going the way they are.

I don't care what [Historical Social Trend X] it is, it's hard to take someone seriously as a thinker when they turn *every* moment into a reason to explain why a new event shows X is at fault and the speaker is correct. You don't look smart when you do it, no one does!

like, not to make it TOO fine a point, but: Germany has done roughly 100x more work owning its historical L’s (accepting the historical record of evil, trying to repair, prohibiting evil in public policy) than, say, Texas or Georgia ever has.

Everyone pray for Brother Seth as he continues to plumb the depths of 20th century US fascism, but this is incredible content

Someone made a music video to Fountains of Wayne’s “Utopia Parkway” with clips from “L.I.E.”, and it is so SO good

Fountains of Wayne, “Red Dragon Tattoo” Still some of the best lyrics I’ve ever heard, still not over Adam Schlesinger leaving us.

I spent years trolling my jam band coworkers by saying my favorite Grateful Dead song was “the one where Phil goes the hell off, can’t remember the words”

The Nordic passion for hot dogs is underknown on the global scene. Maybe the hot doggin’est places I’ve ever been.

Sadie’s out of New Mexico is probably my favorite everyday salsa, goes with chips and all kinds of food. This account will always be open to salsa recommendations, from anywhere. If you gotta favorite, you should tell me about it
