This is why I reject/avoid all things "medieval" (except, oddly, the label itself).

We're very saddened to hear about the passing of Jane McAlevey, a true legend in labor organizing. May her memory be a blessing. Her lessons certainly are.

I don't know how it's not throwing Trump the election. There was a time to challenge him, it was imperative, now it's passed. He won the primary. State GOPs will make getting someone else on the ballot a big hurdle. Biden's money is wasted on not Harris, and she's just as tainted on Gaza as he is.

Personally, I was all in on not Biden, but then the primaries ended and with them any realistic notion of replacing him. Seems straightforward that winning an election means you won. Idk.

I too have this received wisdom, though sometimes I can't help myself. I understand it but also its like HR brain rot, I think.

My two year old has such a beautiful R pronunciation, almost a perfect velarized lateral fricative.

Berlin has banned longer term rentals through airbnb. You can book airbnb up to one month (I think), but no more. Okay as hotel, but not as alternative to rental.

I find it very frustrating because while imo this tweet is basically true (liberal deflection) and liberalism has much to answer for, it is now unfortunately up against something much much worse. It's a bit hopeless.

Replacing Biden at this point seems to be begging GOP-led States to drop Dems from presidential ballot. "Let's create an opening for our enemies to stab us!"

We spoke Spanish at home (from Peru) and even though I've basically lived all my life in the US and English is my primary language in every sense, I cannot stop calling them all lemons. "Lemons" and "yellow lemons."

The Wikipedia article for "jonquil (color)" shows a mainly white flower even though jonquil is a shade of yellow. The article for "narcissus jonquilla," the flower from which the color gets its name shows beautifully yellow flowers. smdh

I played this when it first released, just an incredible experience. So good I'd be hesitant to replay it. No way can it live up to my youthful memories.

Indeed. No one is complaining here about drug use or bicycle theft, but rather about issues pertinent to his ability to carry out the job well.

When I was in 5th grade, I snuck into the teachers lounge to buy a can of pepsi. I put in my money, pressed the button, and got a strange can-shaped plastic package. I panicked, and a few seconds later my soda popped out. I opened the package and it was a pepsi tshirt, compressed into can size.

It's all the more shocking given the swift boat lies. It was clear that the "truth" was Dems were soft on NatSec and anything that went against the "truth" was spin.

I don't ever like crafting, imo it just detracts from game experience. That said RDR2 crafting was particularly painful. Crafting upgraded (splitpoint) ammo one by one, with a max of like 200, and needs zero resources? No thank you.

As is typical, I stupidly chose to ignore this venture at first, not another newsletter. It's not, abort her newsletter. It is a daily morsel of joy. A daily reminder that writing and writers are unbeatable.

This has been a fun outlet for me, and I've written some stuff there I'm really happy with. More than that, though, it has been reliably excellent to read every day, with a wide array of posts from a very diverse and talented group of people. I'm biased, but I think it's a steal for the price.

I tried to invite Chomsky to speak on campus when I was an undergrad. He was happy enough to come, he said, but had no availability for the next 18 months.

My mother used to make a cake with similar grapes, once a year for Thanksgiving. It was a family activity a few days before Thanksgiving sitting around the kitchen table pitting the grapes. Felt like hundreds of grapes. Well worth it.

Maybe too scholarly, but I'm interested in why they are called the Analects in English, a word I've only ever heard in relation to this text. (I haven't yet listened to this one.)
