Good. Per your prior post, he would be committing 'economic genocide' against a generation. Sharing the math for others:

Every reporter or financial analyst writing about the 'math' of a 50-year mortgage better include what the **actual** cost is to the borrower over time. It is a fucking joke. Show the full amortization schedule and how much one really ends up paying!!

people worry about this so much but truly insta already gave it such a shot and instead it did an "automatic welding on car bodies" where teenagers know what clothing proportion is so got EXTREMELY weird about what it could be VERY FAST
they should make a “they should make a” machine so that everything you could ever think of making is being or has already been made

Finally started diving into Ring Racers.

Holyyyy shit, this is so wild. Any Mario Kart 64 sickos out there should take a look at this (running in the Doom engine?!)

Crossworlds is cool and all but this fangame is designed by and for kart racing and fighting game sickos. Big drop in/drop-out online MP and a huge solo mode too

One tremendous, less conspicuous advantage of building solar farms rather than data centers is that it's easy to disassemble solar farms to use the land for something else, while you're basically stuck with acres of concrete and metal should the unbelievably stupid data centers become obsolete.

Shoppers, one of the only grocery stores close to campus and College Park,
shuttered unexpectedly today

one of four branches down in a day in PG County

No-one expected it! Sudden food desert maybe

Upcoming Shoppers College Park closure leaves community members worried
United Natural Foods, Inc., announced late October that Shoppers’ College Park and other nearby locations will close on or before Nov. 8.

I read @tkingfisher.com's Silver and Hemlock this week, and late in a book there's a passage that very strongly showcases the mythic issues with talking to mirrors when you're lonely, which i think have always been there in the internet

but are more there now

ugh no!! NO. My book is SO BORING and marshaling evidence for things normal people already tacitly understand is tedious! And it makes me aware of how weird it is to pick apart things like "dominant aesthetic development!"
Do the thing that makes you want to die the most. Go write your book.

Defense wants gag gifts provided to the officer after the incident included in discovery. One is a plushie sandwich and another is a patch that says, if I heard correctly, “Felony Footlong.” Sounds like we won’t end up seeing these physically but will hear them described.

this is the whole premise of forged in fire and it is so entirely satisfying within that premise
do not learn about the phone and its inhabitants. do not keep track of all the different characters, the politicians, the chit chatters who talk about the politicians. learn about metals instead. their properties, their strengths, their stats. control metals and you control fate

yeah its fine to have a social press site that you dont invite people you dont want to watch you inside

face control is fine

Kodak will begin selling two famous types of film stock—Kodak Gold 200 and Kodak Ultramax 400—directly to retailers and distributors in the U.S., another indication that the historic company is taking back control over how people buy its film.

as someone who grew up without any type of food support, i think americans should just all have SNAP.
All of them!
I think kids should get their own cards!
I think the rich should have it too!
the US has decided Markets are how to do food, so here we go, make a market
