Presumably it would be plated in gold pressed latinum, since latinum is typically a liquid at room temperature

Those pipes make me feel inadequate and envious (but not so much that I can't enjoy)

You forgot to mention that Wallace Shawn plays the king capitalist. Great juxtaposition.

We are large. We contain multitudes. Something can be good for certain parts of our body, like our brains' happy chemicals, but bad for others.

I've gotten people's rent covered, their meds, prevented evictions, kept kids from going hungry. That's not nothing. If you don't see stuff like that, that's the result of what powers your feed. You aren't interacting with the right people.

My solidarity work and educational efforts have done a great deal of good over the years. I'm far too disabled for in person activities, and I'm far from alone in that. Social media is a lifeline for many of us. I once helped someone flee their home country by crowdfunding on Facebook and Twitter.

Look up his shenanigans in the early PayPal days. His actions now make much more sense with that context.

I've literally saved lives via social media, and had mine saved in turn, multiple times each.

Without all that training, it's likely I wouldn't even be able to walk. All those years of kicking drills did a lot for my ability to move precisely and manage my center of gravity.

Though to be fair, the gymnastics in the martial arts and so on did give me really good balance, which is very nice when you're tall with POTS & on blood thinners. I remember tossing 10 lb medicine balls back and forth in mixed martial arts class, discus throw style. Imagine a grippy bowling ball.

I was an athlete, though not the competitive kind. I could do diving somersaults from a slow jog on concrete without significant injury. I could something like 18 mph on rough ground. Run flat out 9,000 feet above sea level. I was extraordinary in ways I no longer am.

My take on the debate is that it made me very excited to vote in November….to legalize psychedelics in Massachusetts.

It isn't even very much money. I spent 15 years fighting to get less than a thousand bucks a month.

Lung disease & sedating medications have damped down my formerly nigh-omnipresent rage, which used to lie just under the surface. My truest self enabled to stay at the fore. Now if only I could do more with it. I know my solidarity work is important, morale is essential, but I miss my old body.

I'm not familiar with this, but it looks worth investigating.

I've long surrounded myself with like-minded people, which generally means a buttload of trauma. A little compassion goes a long way. (A lot of compassion can save a life. Been on both ends of that one more than once each.)

That would be fun if he picked being possessed by a different spirit every month. Demons would get boring, I imagine. "Where's Charlie?" "Oh, out on the soccer field. He's an English peasant woman from the 14th century, tilling the field for first seed." "Neat!"

Not to mention the esophogeal and gastric damage. And the tooth decay!

Generally not in this context. It isn't just the issues mentioned above; I have a whole bunch of health problems which affect my ability to eat. Really appreciate the offer, though. That kind of thing is often extremely helpful to me in other ways.

Humans: divided and alienated by late capitalism, made ill and disabled by the same, try to make connections and talk to each other and organise using the only means they have. Professional journalists: guys stop trying to make media that's my job.

Don't skimp on the salt. Breaking the obligations of hospitality opens a major traditional path for escape from the Babas.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”
