I got to watch the profound and moving Bad Bunny show just now and nothing I have to say hasn’t already been said but I would like to say I have never seen that many 10s being joyful in one place before.

This is why I have never had and will never have a ring doorbell. I’m willing to trade a package being stolen to not surveil my neighbors.
Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵:
-The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

I am also not a skating expert so I know little about rules or technical scoring but I do know most of the stuff about Bonaly was about racism and she did the backflip thing as more of a fuck you than a technical flex.
Lots of talking-out-of-asses about backflips today, so just to tidy up a few things:
1. The backflip was not banned because of Surya Bonaly. It'd been banned since the 70s due to danger.
2. It's not super difficult. It's a staple on the retired pros tour.
3. It's not worth technical points now.

I’ve been in New York for the better part of a week and if you wanted to know what the highlight was it’s tied between getting an ice cold shrimp cocktail at Keen’s and watching a guy walk down 7th Avenue with an industrial size can of roasted red peppers just noshing.

Today I told a real adult and by any reasonable account an age peer that I was a kid when Daniel Pearl was executed and thus barely remembered it. He asked me who that was, then informed me he was four when that happened. He has no recollection of 9/11 and we're like normal adult friends.
I spoke to a woman at the protest in minneapolis and she explained she wanted to be there in part because "i was a kid when george floyd got killed" and i nearly dropped my recorder

I haven't looked into his policy views at all but please consider that 1. I went to the impeachment trials when I was living in DC and watched him testify and I was profoundly moved by his clarity and bravery and patriotism and 2. He's not Marco Rubio.

There’s a guy on Gardiner Lane here who has this business model and his daily driver is a g wagon so
If I were running a snow plow business, I’d buy two snow plows, call my business ONE SNOW PLOW AFTER ANOTHER, and for the price of “a few small beers” we can clear your driveway faster than you can say Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction.
Sorry, that’s all I got. Keeping it light.

Look, my sorority sisters who don’t post anything but an annual photo of their kids in the suburbs of Richmond or Memphis or whatever are posting “fuck ICE, ACAB” and all I know is this means we are winning and we will win. The moral arc, etc, but we have to bend it and we are and we will.
They’re all panicking. They can see how mad everyone is and they thought that Trump winning again meant that they would suffer no more consequences for their support, now the White House is realizing they might end up in jail and the rank and file will be social pariahs again. It’s a bad scene.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

A lot of prepper/militia types stockpile guns and ammo for a theoretical apocalyptic scenario, but time and again, when there's real threat from any quarter, most people turn to helping one another and looking out for their community. These people are too small-minded to understand that.
I suppose in the future what's happening now may become known as "The Battle of Minneapolis," but I think--hope--it's historic precisely because it's not that. Fascism wants a fight. Instead, Minneapolis's main response is mutual aid. Struggle, in a deeper sense of the term than fascism can imagine.

Hey, everyone! In the year since I posted this and asked for help (and everyone responded so nicely), I've played a lot of games! Thank you for your ideas; I still have a list of several dozen to try. Perhaps the internet was not a mistake after all.
I completed my first-ever video game, Disco Elysium— one of my best friends was one of its writers and I was excited to try it. I waited because I thought it was first person, which makes me nauseated.
Can anyone rec story-ish games where my objective is not murder? I know this is a basic question.

Also I think it’s relevant that the roofer fight I personally witnessed started as a screaming slap fight on their respective scaffolds and I needed no info to know I was on the neighboring roofer’s side 100%.
The contractors harassed every woman walking her dog. They got in fist fights in the street with each other. They got in fistfights with the roofers next door. They left all their stuff out in other people’s driveways. They also didn’t finish the trim and installed a toilet facing the street, so.
House flippers reno a house a block from me for ~year. The contractors were all-time terrible. They listed it for nearly 4x what all the others in a large radius would cost. Reno isn’t done well and it has been on sale a year. It sparks immense joy to watch them knock 100k off every month or so.

Okay in case you didn’t believe me or something, here’s a photo of the street toilet. I’ve been inside during an open house to confirm!
