Legitimately thrilled to get this in the mail today. Put a smile on my face in spite of everything. The Onion, everyone!
I am not happy that I was raised religiously, generally speaking, but it does mean I catch a LOT of references in Mountain Goats songs, so that's nice.

Just about a week in the future
These are going to seem like the good days
Because the snake is going to rise from the pit
And brother will turn against brother
We won't have a minute to lose
At most we'll only have each other
Happy new Mountain Goats day. Try not to get tears in your coffee.

"We found something you might like." No you fucking didn't. You found other versions of a thing I already bought. Which makes no sense at all as something I might like and then buy.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

The Shining was a movie far ahead of its time, truly an incisive film about the rituals and behaviors of working from home. And murder.

call them whatever you like, the reality is 'smart glasses' are surveillance devices designed by tech companies to violate consent and rewrite social norms. social shaming is still a more effective a deterrent than the law. @hypervisible.blacksky.app

I've seen a white cat outside several times over the last two weeks and figured it had to be someone's, but it's cold and wet and it's outside again so I put out a bit of food and a box with a towel in a dry, protected place. Poor baby.

Between branches of government and the rise of AI, there seems to be a curious trend of people wanting no responsibility at all, to happily cede it to bad faith or black box, and just hope for The Best. It's apathy as a lifestyle.
It's incredible the extent to which Congress just utterly refuses to defend itself. You'd think for entirely self-interested reasons you would stridently oppose having the power of the purse arbitrarily ripped from you, ya know?
Why would you allow yourself to become the Roman Senate circa 27 BC.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Life is just becoming more and more convinced that capital absolutely HATES workers and wishes they would all drop dead, despite needing them to purchase their ever-worsening product.
