Twice in the past month I have been asked to do an interview for the New York Times. Citing their hard right turn, I declined both. Everything I have seen from that paper in the past month has only bolstered my confidence in those decisions.

They've granted trump complete immunity for any crimes committed while president. That's how this works now. You're playing by the old rules and that's a sure way to lose.

What do you call a camp where the doctors don't sign paperwork or use their names for fear of being prosecuted for war crimes? Think real hard. Concentrate, of you have to.

Remember in 2016 when people were saying the same thing about trump being elected leading to Roe v Wade being overturned? Ah, the naivete of our shared youth.

Oh, this interview is old. Some time before 2024. Weird it's being aired as new. Super pro trump. And just hit on the "it's illegal to collect rainwater in America" lie. Way more than just one yike from me.

Sitting in a barber shop waiting and the TV has a Kanye West interview on and... oh boy. Bonkers right wing nut job word jumble is just pouring out of this man. He's making all stops on the far right crazy train.

Oh man that's so weird. The UK Milky Way doesn't have caramel, so it's more in line with a US 3 Musketeers, though the UK version is milk flavored nougat instead of chocolate.

Translated to English: "For Trump's supporters, it doesn't matter how absurd and perfidious his lies are: They believe him, because he is a kind of "messiah" for them. Yes, there is something religious about how unconditionally his followers believe him, even if the opposite is true."

Find it on a website, copy the letter d, and ctrl+v to paste it when needed. An imperfect solution but enough to get necessary things done.

My favorite cereal box prize, hands down, was the Chex Quest CD-ROM that was clearly a skinned copy of Doom but about cereal. It was a work of art.

@pfrazee.com You've probably answered this a thousand times but I couldn't find it: Will there be a way to set DNS for domains registered through bsky instead of just forwarding? I like supporting this service but also want to use the domain for general purposes

1. This is about protests, not everyday life 2. If that guy hadn't been wearing a mask, what difference would it have made? Would cops have magically appeared to shoot him 36 times?

Once each year I rent one for half a day to get a load of quality compost soil for my garden beds. Other than that I drive my hybrid compact car, scooter, and bicycle. As others have said, therapy is cheaper than a big truck.

This is my second summer on sertraline and this fills a couple gaps for me, thank you. I was wondering why I'd turned into such a thirsty bitch in summer. Just need more water because of drugs.

I would venture to guess the US may be on that list when the previous administration was in power. A lot of our drama crossed the border.

1/ Reminder that violent crime has gone down since the 1960s, and wage theft and civil asset forfeiture have gone up since the 1980s. Cops stole more property than burglars stole in the last five years. More money is lost to wage theft than lost to all violent crimes for the last five years.

Oh I just assumed it was a simple to read code that wouldn't be mistaken for anything else, not that it has words attached. 100% head canon on that one though.

My new lawn mower arrived in a metal crate. While disassembling the crate, I saved all the nuts and bolts in a jar in case they're useful in a future project.

It's well past time to impeach Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for his innumerable ethics violations. The people cannot trust a court of liars.

She also said remote work didn't exist in 2019 so we know she's either stupid or a liar, and I don't think she's stupid.
