I want to rock and roll until about 10:30 and party three times a week
I accidentally discovered this wonderful life hack: the end of Jim Kweskin’s “Ladybugs’ Picnic” ( you know, from Sesame Street) leads into the beginning of Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run” in a really satisfying way.

I want to love the concept of that “anxious but doing it anyways” t-shirt. But if I had it it would just always be referring to my ability to wear a t-shirt that said “anyways” on it.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

So long, suckers. I’m going to write a book called 1,001 Things You Can Convince Yourself a Baby’s Footprint Looks Like for a Homemade Greeting Card, and a follow-up for toddler handprints, and I’ll become so rich so quickly you’ll never see me again.

My favorite two Valentines I ever recieved were a candy heart that said "BOOK CLUB," and a card from a second grader when the first live-action Transformers movie came out: "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, Valentine." I wish you both sentiments today, and probably most days

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

SEATTLE JUST VOTED TO ENACT A TAX ON MILLIONAIRE BUSINESSES TO BUILD SOCIAL HOUSING.
Late results tend to favor left wing results, so the chance of this flipping in the coming days is near zero.

JUST IN: Seattle voters are saying yes to social housing and yes to Proposition 1A, which would levy a 5 percent payroll tax on employers on annual compensation above $1 million paid to any employee in the city. election-results-01.kingcounty.gov/results.pdf

A way to think about "AI" is that it's like single-use plastic: Super-convenient, sold as disposable, designed to be used without much thought, and while it's easy to get annoyed with your mom for using it, the real problem are the dudes destroying the planet in order to keep shoveling it out

I know we’re all overloaded with things to worry about and moral imperatives.
But it is my conviction that even wide and smooth enough shoulders to park a car on aren’t lanes, and I think if everyone committed to that it would increase our collective net peace and thriving.

If you have a take on this I'm curious to hear: I like the Beatles but I can't tell John's voice from Paul's.

For calibration, we live in the timeline where the folks who like Calvin and Hobbes so much they write a story about adult Calvin are fine with him being a character from For Better or For Worse.
