Fish don’t realize that they are swimming in water, and reactionaries don’t realize they are swimming in successful prog cultural sculpting imposed from the top down.
I.e. nationalism is the most successful example of a progressive (derogatory) social engineering project in history. It’s not organic, it’s the result of nerds with maps deciding the real world should be remade to match their imaginary lines.

Me, complaining about there being turtles on the arctic continent of Northrend in Wrath of the Lich King.
“What are you some kind of nerd who insists on internal logic and self-consistency in your fictional universes?”

Yes.

Yes I am.

*finally* beat jokerless. They key was pretty straightforward: open a polychrome red seal ace in an early pack, then just duplicate to your heart’s content. By the final boss I had 9 mult polychrome red seal aces, top scoring hand of 6 million something. Only 2 total sicko achievements left.

Not regretting my anti-Ring stance so far.

In that case, I can’t guarantee that me and a million of my closest friends won’t be taking a day off work on a Tuesday in November in order to give some brownshirt fucks headaches.
Breaking:

The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Can’t believe they are letting Kamala announce that there’s another Bridgerton prequel series coming out next year.
Something’s happening

Fireflies, Owl City.
It’s not the worst song, but the first time I hear it I briefly got so excited because I thought The Postal Service had dropped a new song, followed by melancholy because clearly they were just phoning it in now, then anger that someone was blatantly ripping them off.
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

I continue to have the strong conviction that I would come out of a Choitner interview looking just fine, thank you, and no level of hacks getting aethered will change my mind.

New season of Bridgerton is good (turns out smutty Downton Abbey is compelling TV) but I can help but feel like the main plot is a little derivative, for some reason.

At this poinI think I’m a Jonathan Haidt and George Borjas away from every elite academic that I hate being in the the Epstein files…

Not only is Glonzo real and eating the power lines and driving up electricity costs, but it turns out he’s also behind lawsuits to prevent the construction of new wind farms and masterminded Enron’s manipulation of the California energy crisis and blocks energy efficiency standard adoption.

Huh, I wonder if this post from 7 hours ago ends up being important.

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

My entirely uninformed, Not A Lawyer opinion is that the DOJ didn’t have to play around a pocket pardon for Trump, because they aren’t valid, and if SCOTUS tries to rule that they are you make it moot and actually pardon those who made it so.

Jokerless really is the most sadistic Balatro challenge. You need to grab arcana and spectral packs, but so many of the cards are definitionally useless.

People complain about lack of engagement on here and don’t make posts that appeal to bsky. Try something like this:

“Is psyllium husk always slimy when you drink it with water, or did I just choose a weird brand?”

That’s how you get engagement here.

One of my least favorite Boomer tendencies is their general inability, no matter how woke, to imagine that the father is capable of, let alone could be expected to, taking on a substantial portion of the child raising responsibilities.

Vibe check: reasonably well informed but generally apolitical coworker now thinks ICE are Trump’s gestapo, is outraged by Renee Good’s murder, and is freaked out by Miller’s Sephirothpostin.
