I think it’s cool that the body gives you a brief window to go to bed early and if you miss it you are wide awake until 2am, I think whatever that’s for is probably worth it

One more skeet for Edmund Fitzgerald Day. Behind this historical marker is the famed Whitefish Bay. Today the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Paradise, Mich., rang the recovered bell 31 times, 29 for the victims of the wreck, once for all Great Lakes shipwreck victims, and once for Gordon Lightfoot.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

HE HAS APPEASED POSEIDON
There were 6000 shipwrecks on the Great Lakes in the 100 years before the Edmund Fitzgerald went down—that’s one sunk boat a week— and Gordon Lightfoot wrote his song and none since. one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5518...

Let's all pretend I remembered to post this before midnight.
I literally had a calendar reminder but when a notification about a "circulatory system" popped up I ignored it because I assumed it must have been some kind of error.

Don't normally advocate reposting from X, but "whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation" is some Oscar Wilde level shit-talking.

This is exactly why I hate the Republican party, So much of their ethos is based on the idea that anyone who needs help is lazy or a crook. The "Welfare Queen" lie is the classic example. It will never change. They will never change. They are loathsome in their superiority and faux piety.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."
