Yessss, I left my house seeking community and Harvard Square was a party!!

During the first admin, I liberated his Monopoly knock-off board game from an AirBnB and have been saving it to smash/burn/piss on When It Happens.

I have a theory about this. Regular people want tech to reduce our real-life burdens: cooking, errands, dishes, and definitely laundry. Rich tech bros already have "staff" to take care of all that for them, so they don't care. 1/

EXTINGUISH MEEEEE! Not a song, but an honorable mention. And I assume at some point someone spilled hot cocoa on themselves and yelled this.

🎶Frodoooooooo of the niiiiiine fingerrrrs, and the ring of doooooooom. 🎶

Like if you want to fulfill your childhood dream of being besties with a Kennedy, fine, but this one?? The murderous eugenicist whose understanding of science ends at the middle ages? You're gonna hitch your wagon to this despicable jalopy? Fuck all the way off.

Oh I don't begrudge the other guys at all. Not getting vaccinated against COVID is reason enough to split, let alone the nonsense about chemtrails and 5G.

Also, all reporting of The Defiant should note that it's literally the reject pile, all guys who got kicked out of their bands for being brainwashed by right wing grifters and eugenicists.

The way Dicky seems to regularly hop on stage with other bands to do Bosstones covers adds another layer of embarrassment to the whole debacle. Dude fucked up so bad throwing it all away.

Love this! But I'm struggling to find a good indie replacement for the inter/national top line news of the day across a broad swath of topics. Who am I missing? Where should I be going instead of CNN or NYT?

Everybody transgender!

I'm kinda thinking the same for the first part of that, don't know enough to speak to the second (yet). Reading Neurotribes right now and it's a fascinating history of the evolution of our understanding of the spectrum.
