I expected once the shutdown ended, that @dieworkwear.bsky.social would publish his "Excited to Wear this Fall" post. I figured he was probably just holding out as a negotiation tactic...

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

I want a Culture story in which a Mind running an orbital goes rogue and drives its population of post-scarcity utopian socialists to fascism. How does the rest of The Culture react?

So something this article mentions that I want to footstomp for folks that don’t work with the military: it’s an “up or out” institution where if you don’t get promoted, your career is over. To get promoted you need to have specific types of jobs on your record. This move effectively ends her career

I am an attorney; I know other attorneys whose capacity for reading comprehension is... suboptimal.
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Read “firefighters” at first and spent a long moment really trying to wrap my head around this fact.
In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

We are the richest country in the world. God forbid we ever act like it.
I dunno. I do like our government spending less money anywhere they can. I like even more if my taxes go down as a result. Since when is our job to be the world’s mom and dad? Did other countries step up to fill that gap?

100% true. Stupidly.
Every-day liberals/leftists get mad at political scientists when we say we really do need a strong conservative party for society to function well.
And this is directly attributable to Trump's victory in 2016. Yet another in a seemingly endless list of ways letting him be president for 4 years and head of a major political party for 8 (and counting) have made our country and world worse off.

Milwaukee Sewer Socialism is the path. Stay focused on what you committed to. Don’t be drawn. Make things work.
And, of course, never stop telling people what you’re doing.

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.
