Currently sitting in the lounge of a river cruise ship docked near Baden-Baden, and the music piped through the ship’s PA reminds me of the playlists from Jurgen Gothe’s “Disc Drive” from CBC Radio 2 (RIP). I’m in the middle of a Venn diagram of #gemutlich, #hygge, and #cozy😌

the kicking horse river between field and golden bc, as seen from above (the kicking horse trail, in the late 1920s) and from water level (the canadian pacific railway mainline, in the 1910s?).

Between this, the Vimes boots theory, Monstrous Regiment, and the entirety of the von Lipwig trilogy really, Pratchett is in my opinion a better observer of the human condition than a lot of more high brow novelists.

I have opinions, too. Here are some: Biden has never been my preferred candidate but I voted for him last time because I’m a fucking adult and that’s how democracy works. Trump is a threat to everyone I love and if you don’t vote against him you’re part of the problem. And all dogs deserve pets.

If you think you know what Biden or the democrats should do right now, no you don’t. You have an opinion. Congratulations, everyone has opinions. Go pet a dog.

"What the average person really wanted was to know that tomorrow would be more-or-less like today." Which I didn't understand until Trump. Now I can clearly see in left-wing people(inc me) both "I want rights for all" and "I just want things to be normal again" fighting it out.

if you took every billionaire on earth and stacked them on top of each other starting at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, that would be great

I assumed they would be laid horizontally and stacked that way. On the one hand the top of the stack would be further down the Trench, on the other hand the stack might be less likely to tip over, on the gripping hand who cares they would still all be on the bottom of the ocean where they belong.

If the Democrats replaced Biden with Havelock Vetinari at the top of the ticket, pretty sure he'd beat Trump.

I think this is the fundamental asymmetry underlying every aspect of the conflict between the parties; you see it in the Senate, in gerrymandering, in the use of executive power I don't want King Biden either, but it's long past time to make the GOP afraid of the consequences of endless escalation

Fun fact, in 1215 the Magna Carta was signed, which mandated for the first time that Kings actually do have to follow the law, so really a king is more restrained by the law than the President is This court just dragged us back into the dark ages

exactly - policy-wise, both McCain and Romney would have been horrific presidents but neither would they have ruptured civil society the same way Trump did unfortunately, one of the impacts of Trump is that whoever comes after him will be culturally similar because that's what the base wants now

Credit where it’s due: Elon Musk wanted the Cybertruck to have a futuristic, movie-based-on-Philip-K.-Dick-story vibe. And sure, it’s no Blade Runner. But what we’re looking at *is* a Total Recall.
