i don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled

It’s my cousins job at the supermarket to wait by the door and cast spells on people so they forget why they even came in and mindlessly browse for unnecessary products

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.
I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!

Today would have been Bob Newhart's birthday, so I am celebrating with this quirky bank note from Vermont. The vignettes of a man plowing, a woman holding grain, and a classical scene with Hercules and Mercury appear on this odd denomination. Bank of Bennington, VT, $7, 18--.🗃️

Jon Stewart should not run for president.
*Jimmy Fallon* should run for president. He would galvanize a mass movement of people turning up at his rallies to tell him he fucking sucks. It would be low-key amazing to see.

this 11-yr-old has derived the majority of biggie's ten crack commandments from first principles. astonishing
My 11-year-old daughter, unhappy with the snacks and the long lines at camp, decided to start her own business with a couple of her campmates. I found this document on my computer.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

I've often noted shock (and awe) at the revelation that Carly Simon is a Simon of Simon & Schuster, but maybe everyone who wants to know that knows that by now.
oh hey happy birthday to Carly Simon too!

It was one of the greatest privileges of my life to visit Iran in 2014.
It’s the place I wish I could return to most. Stunning natural beauty, deep reverence for artists, and people of profound kindness, wisdom, and warmth.
They don’t deserve USrael’s barbaric violence. They never have.
