I'm not a Democrat. It's not that Democrats are too conservative (they are). It's that they're largely fucking useless. Just look at 2000 and 2016. Both times there was a dissatisfied element (ON THE LEFT, to be clear) they could have negotiated with and won. They refused. Because of The Money.

So true. I remember hearing "Live at Budokan" and was like, is this even the same band? This is actually ... good!

In Donald Westlake's hilarious heist novel "The Hot Rock," the phrase "Afghanistan banana stand" was used as a post-hypnotic suggestion ... I tried this on my excitable dog and ... it didn't work. Clearly I was using the wrong fruit.

Happy Solstice. Be sure to hydrate. Sigh. How long until the Sun runs out of hydrogen and expands out to the orbit of Mars and vaporizes the Earth? If it's real soon now do I have to pay all these bills?

I was reading a post on tumblr where the poster lamented they didn't have anyone to share cool rocks they found with any more and I thought that was pretty sad, cool rock sharing friends are the absolute best

Where *are* all the gun rights fanatics who think that any laws restricting gun ownership are unconstitutional? OOOH right, they only object if it applies to them, restricting other people is just fine

Now is the time of day when I carry out my sacred coffee ritual: pouring a cup, forgetting about it after a few sips, remembering it later, putting it in the microwave to heat it back up, then forgetting about it until the next morning when I ask myself where my coffee cup is.

Most 🤡 take on the Mediterranean yacht-sinking orcas I've heard lately is that they're "only picking on the smaller boats owned by less wealthy people." 😐 If we give them Mark 50 torpedoes will they go after the superyachts? I think we should consider giving them heavier weapons to compensate

Yeah, I forget what it's called, but it's another "rich white anti-government people save the world" book like reamde or even seveneves. Which I also didn't like. I *love* Anathem. Go figure. Oh right the newish one is "Termination Shock." Bleh.

The May Gray has really got me this year. Yesterday afternoon around sunset I found myself putting on sweats and wool socks and delving for a sweater I'd already secured until next winter, tuesday morning when I left it was below 10C and I'm wondering if it's actually colder this year or I am old.

And in honor of the feast today let us celebrate the cognitive dissonance of the Pentecostals, who simultaneously believe the Apostles spoke all the languages of the middle east and that "speaking in tongues" is the same thing. Look guys, you have to choose one. Don't try to distract me with snakes

Apropos of nothing at all my usual typo when I'm trying to get to Metafilter is "meatfilter.com" however today I typed "metafailter.com" - not clear exactly what my subconscious is telling me, however these two domains *are* available.

OK ok I concede. This looks fun. And probably someone in Mexico has done this before so there's no calling it inauthentic :D
