I wish there was another UK election to watch the rest of today. watch a bunch of guys named Eric Thorpe-Smedley who was Minister for Napalming Old Ladies getting rinsed in the Scunth-on-Sea district by a Labour guy named Derek Elbow and a man in a cat costume

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

the “some folks just need killing” thing out of north carolina reminds me of a third thing these annoying people are right about: as long as the republican bloodlust grows and their power is unbroken, every election probably will be the most important one of your life

We do get *some* movies, but I would argue that the Internet has actually made it *more difficult* to live in Morris. The polarization caused by social media is really pronounced out here. Amazon is destroying small businesses.

You can be critical of the way the Biden team is handling this and still support him in November if he decides to run, this is how grown-ups who aren’t in a personality cult operate

I remain convinced that one of the reasons (besides capital protecting capital, of course) the NYT has gone to hell recently is it has become more important for its reporters to have the right pedigree (Ivy, good families, etc.) than actual journalism skills or interest.

One problem with the political media is many believe a debate performance is more significant than several Supreme Court decisions. Biden could literally win as a vegetable & it wouldn’t hurt my future as much as the latter.

I’m leaving tomorrow for 3 1/2 weeks in Ohio and really don’t want to come back to a flooded basement. Is this easily fixable or should I just leave the cold water off while I’m gone? (Just to the washing machine. I have plenty of cold water otherwise.)

Handy folks of BlueSky: My 14-year-old top-loading Estate by Whirlpool washing machine now does this thing where cold water keeps pouring in even after the cycle is over. I’ve turned off the cold water and that’s stopped it, but that’s obviously not a long-term solution.
