Evangelical parents: "The world will persecute you for being Christian." Evangelical parents: "We'll keep you at Christian school, it's safer." Evangelical parents: "You should tell nonChristians about Jesus or they'll go to Hell." Evangelical parents: "Why do you have a hard time making friends?"

I wonder how much of this is the increased accessibility and interest in craft beer. Anecdotally, I get a lot more satisfaction from one high quality interesting beer than from several PBRs/Rainiers/etc., which is a positive turn imo.

One thing that is making me angry about Google's inclusion of AI in search results is that it seems to have dramatically lowered the odds you get the "Scholarly articles for..." result. Obviously I can go to Scholar manually, but that used to be a nice feature.

It is not acceptable to begin your poem with "Hwæt!" anymore. Again, the language changed.

Is there an opposition movement in El Salvador that US movements can ally with? It feels like there would be a decently large coalition of left anti-fascists and centre-right "don't import foreign prisoners"-types that would oppose Bukele. But I also know next to nothing about Salvadoran politics

Uncountable scientific papers, patents, full classrooms, new ideas, new startups, new communities, new music, new art, new ideas, leaders and parents and founders and Americans, erased by one sad dipshit who can't stand to be in the company of his betters

Actually, it's anti-Christian bias if whining about pride flags at US embassies ISN'T met with "mistreatment" ⚓

I appreciate that one of the two major international conferences for my research field chose the venue a 4 min walk from my apartment. More conference organizers should consider my specific proximity to my snacks and couch when planning events.

Good forward thinking by Seattle City Council in preemptively rezoning the area near the port, given that it’s going to be out of business in 6 months because of tariffs.

“Men are alienated because they don’t make things anymore” is a perfect argument for finding a massive research apparatus. Scientists make things! They use their creative imaginations to do it! Factory workers largely do tediously repetitive tasks every bit as alienating as an email job

I hate how high quality oratory has been completely killed. Just talk like a politician. Talk about American values, talk about courage, talk about the troops, talk about anything other than "the records" and "the best" and whatever else.

(assistant) captain-ing my summer hockey team is a good reminder that the median voter doesn’t know how to use a spreadsheet, let alone have coherent opinions on the refactoring of the Social Security Administration codebase

It probably helps that Carney looks like he could play a US President in an 80-90s movie. Trump needs that visual cue to respect someone. Trudeau never had that advantage when dealing with Trump’s monkey brain.
