A squire rushed in to the great hall.

"Someone," he shouted, "has taken the sword from the stone!"

The assembled knights halted their dinner.

"At last, a king?"

"Who?"

"I don't know," the squire said. "The sword is gone!"

Elsewhere:
"This," Indy muttered, "belongs in a museum.

I'm actually considering SoCal for a few reasons. I'd need to find some work there first, or some remote work. It's so expensive in the LA area though!

<throwing something large but soft at you> Berkeley in the summer is pretty goddamn pleasant, except for how cool it gets at night. I don't know why there isn't a happy medium somewhere in California between 64 and 105 for summer evening temps..

Oh interesting! I have not heard of that case. That sort of thing is amazing to me - like, who even has the energy to do something like that?

It's eight PM on the US west coast, and here in Chico it's ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE FUCKING DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I feel like calling the manager but it would probably just go to voicemail since it's after hours.

I've become convinced that one of the biggest obstacles to better road design in commercial areas is well-off business owners who drive their BMW to work every day and find it impossible to imagine a customer who uses any other mode of conveyance to arrive at the shop.

This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects.

For most of its history, America hasn’t been a democracy, by any meaningful definition of the term! This isn’t some It Can’t Happen Here shit, in a way, it’s already happened. It just may not have directly affected you.

I was on IV biologic therapy, which I was told to report *anything* unusual because I could be experiencing potentially fatal complications. Was ordered to the ER by my Rheumatologist associated with the hospital. And even with that, they refused to listen to me because my address was a shelter.

Probably the worst part of my life was when I was living in homeless shelter in 2019, experiencing unknown symptoms. I had both Medicaid and Medicare, on SSDI, but when I fell and went to the ER I waited for seven hours with no tests performed. Was dismissed with a diagnosis of β€œhomeless.”

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared
