I know it’s hard to find things to be happy about these days, but Zohran Mandani won NYC’s mayoral democratic primary race last right, protesters managed to shut down the ICE office in here in SF yesterday, and S4 of The Bear drops today.
Absolutely dining on these morsels of serotonin this morning.

Walking up on a dreary Sunday morning, the apartment is quiet and still, the dog sleeping in his bed. Early, low light filters into the bedroom giving it a low parchment glow. My brain begins to boot into awareness:

Pegasus spyware maker NSO Group just got publicly rebuffed by the US.
They came to DC to get off the US blacklist.
It did not work out.
You know about the human rights abuses, but let me tell you why NSO is no friend to the United States. 1/

The pants I am wearing today are cute (subjectively), comfy (objectively), but so noisy.
I don’t think I can wear them to the office again. I feel the need to compulsively apologize for being disruptive, as I sound like a sailboat cruising aggressively in blustery conditions just walking about.

Two things I’ve never noticed on previous trips to Vancouver.
1. Some of the freeways have bike lanes, such as the road to the airport.
2. There are tampons and pads sitting out in the restrooms available for free.
Two ways America would sadly never.

I’ve been in Vancouver (Canada) since Thursday. This somewhat randomly timed trip could actually not have been better timed.
On top of my general long-time love for this city, I am especially daunted leaving tonight and returning to the U.S. and well, everything else.

I need a shock color that’s the opposite of an electric fence. It’s you’re still inside a certain range (like your work office building for example) at a specific time, it starts shocking you with tiny shocks that increase with intensity every five minutes.
Does this exist?
