I started this to post and read stupid stuff about video games I'm playing and not think about politics, but I'm losing that battle.
I give up on this idea. This is just too fucking stupid. They aren’t even trying. The real journalism in the paper is still fine/great, but clearly the leadership is trying out a hard right pivot here. Some of their recent work is stupid enough to be funny, but this is shameful. @washingtonpost.com

I’d like to nominate David Roth for the 2025 ‘Longest Coherent Sentence Writer.’ Great walk through of the sub-literate Oklahoman situation.
It might be my very narrow intake of sports writers that makes Roth and Burneko my favorite journalists.

Okay this isn’t the editorial board, but it is WaPo editorial and it is powerful stupid. You know good journalism starts with an absurd premise and then immediately flings mud at a bystander. @washingtonpost.com

Turn Me On by Sleater-Kinney
I’m not sure there are many better rock songs than this. One of my favorite 90s albums.

A good explanation of the crazy-making fact that most of the American economy doesn't actually involve making or selling anything any more. Strong recommendation for "Bad Company". I just read "Barbarians at the Gate" a few months ago, and this is a worthy companion. Thanks @greenwell.bsky.social

Agonized over how to dispose of window A/C units. As they still function I tried to give them to charity. Then I gave up and scheduled town bulk trash pick up. Put them out and some rando's picked them up immediately. Cancelled pickup. Invisible Hand at work?

Song for today:
First heard on a calm music stream back when my daughter was a baby and would only sleep on my shoulder. Moving reprise of the emotional core of The Golden Bough from the Aeneid.
"Three times the form reached for in vain, escaped
Like a breeze between his hands, a dream on wings"

Down a cladistics rabbit-hole re: higher order taxa:
- Fish aren't a clade unless all vertebrates are classified as Osteichthyes, including humans.
- Lancelet is obviously not a fish, but it is very fishy. (Fish broadly: encephalized, has gills, no fingers.)
- Don't even get into sea squirts.

Number one metaphor for my life that I didn't grasp at the time but definitely had the capacity to if I had wanted to think about it:
The week my parents divorced and I had to leave my childhood home was the same week I also entered the 'World of Ruin' in Final Fantasy 3 (6).

Holy crap this should be a scheduled substance. Jesus. Activating my worst WoW freak instincts.
I may be the first person to overdose on dopamine, rather than the drugs that get you the dopamine.
Is it good? Unlikely! But I’m obsessed for now.

@jasonschreier.bsky.social Yesterday I responded to a post saying ‘Jason has attempted to will a release of FFT into being for years - this is not a scoop just a desire’. This was based off prior social media and Triple Click talk. Mea culpa - you remain the Shams or Woj of game scoops. Respect.

Not at all sure why I did this to myself. 100% Xenoblade Chronicles X. Great game! Awesome world, fun to explore, good combat, maddening dialogue, terrible pacing, poor characterization, Al’s verbal game made me feel like I had a stroke. Would not play again! But I am looking at you fondly XC3.

Nextdoor users - isn’t your average age around 51? Aren’t you of the correct age and have enough experience to clock the DMV spam texts as a scam?
We can’t be getting fooled by a now roughly 8 month old scam, that resembles in nature all other internet eta scams. How does credulity still exist?

Open world is great. Didn’t love marking it off hex by hex at first - but I like that you can complete the map without getting everything. Good world design, fun to figure out how to reach new locations. Undercut by flying skells - should have been endgame only.

New entry into the genre of unintelligible pharma ads: Fanapt anime ad. What precisely is it for? You wouldn’t guess from the bizarre ad. Might be AI slop that AI wasn’t involved in making at all. Looked it up - it’s for schizophrenia. Maybe the theme is that the ad makes you feel like you have it.
