This sounds like hyperbole, and yet someone just pointed out to me that the current Lt Gov is running for Treasurer and the current Treasurer is running for Lt Gov… it’s more embarrassing than I imagined

It is truly puzzling to me how the two of them ended up being allied in this race, but perhaps it’s my own failure of imagination

I still feel like I must not be very smart, since I cannot understand why they are doing everything in their power to tank the economy and immiserate everyone who does anything of value.
I mean, I understand superficially (grifting, narcissism, bigotry), but I don’t *get* it.

At some point we’re going to have to talk about how our Canadian Trash Pope is a bona fide hottie, and not just a guy who happens to be excellent at marrying queer pop culture to critical religious studies

There seems to be a growing acknowledgment that “immigration has stopped” overlaps with “inbound tourism has nearly stopped” and the hospitality sector has got to be pissed

My geography major included courses in cartography, religion & the built environment, and applied physical climatology. All of those courses taught me different aspects of how systems work at varying scales, and none of them predicted where I’d go with my career.

A friend of mine who lives there pointed out that *not only* is the city of Miami smaller than we think (roughly 440,000 people) but NOBODY votes. This is the the final tally from 2021: the number of people who voted for the winner is less than a third of the capacity of the Miami Dolphins’ stadium.

In SF, there’s a “Panto in the Presidio” every year around Christmas, but the ads make it look confusing and awful (plus they’re usually drowned out by the Shen Yun onslaught).
The only reason I really know what it is, is due to My Dad Wrote a Porno discussing it on a Christmas episode.

Curious if you’re watching Gillian’s new series Pluribus and your thoughts there. There’s a similar theme of “desperate person going to extreme lengths for a shot at a return to normalcy”

I’m sure the director’s “track record” is important to some people, but what I saw onscreen was a Bad Movie.

Relatedly, had a fun exchange with a friend recently: He was complaining about octogenarians like Pelosi and Clyburn and Hoyer lingering around and blocking younger up-and-comers from breathing new life into Congress.
He was grousing about “all these Boomers unwilling to step aside”…

It’s amazing, it’s perfect, I love it so much I’m willing to forgive the 10,000 time jumps in episode 1 (which I assume spans like three-four years of narrative time).

Oh! There’s a chain in Vietnam called Cong Coffee and their whole shtick is that you’re in a VC hideout during the War (the baristas wear fatigues and everything)
…so depending on whether it’s fair for the premise to include a culture that refuses to make bad coffee, there’s one.
