My last surviving grandparent passed earlier this year at the age of 97, and I inherited her Waterford crystal set which her mother (my great-grandmother) had given her a glass of every holiday season.
I also got her salt and pepper shakers - which are still full.

Playing "Town to City" during a night of anxiety and worry, and my history of playing colony management / city management sim games means that I am even more anxious with the fact that my villagers are just...fine with not having their needs met immediately.

The Federal government is simultaneously "These people are anarchist violent extremists and need to be infiltrated" and "we can't infiltrate anarchist groups because they require us to read".
WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.”
Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV.

Noam Chomsky isn't even that good of a leftist, lol. He's been, like, a rad lib-LARPing-as-a-libertarian-socialist and is only so highly regarded due to the absolute shitshow that is the American political system.

Everyone pointing to Kiggans taking advantage of a socialized grocery store is leaving out that the govenor-elect of Virginia (who also has state-run ABCs) criticized Mamdani's idea of NYC-owned grocery stores as "too much of a promise".

American exceptionalism is believing that ICE Agents are Russian stooges "gifted" to Trump by Putin, because one cannot conceive of any reality where America is evil. It is an unironic "this isn't us" as an immutable truth, and all deviation must be a subversion to prevent inward reflection.

Surely Obama's legal framework to extrajudicially execute American citizens with no due process on claims of association with terrorist organizations will have no bearing on what comes next 👇.

The Greek anarchist group Revolutionary Struggle was added to the FTO list in 2009 by Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Another Greek anarchist group, Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, was added in 2011, five years before Trump's first election.
Wow: the Trump administration is for the first time ever designating four "Antifa" groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
This is a big step. Until now, they had only pursued a domestic terrorist org designation, which has less teeth than FTO.

One of my desk chair casters is broken and falls inward, so it causes the base to wobble. It's generally fine until the 25lb cat jumps to the back of my chair when I'm in it and we're leaning over so bad that we look like the Titanic.
