I thought I would have to be more broad and go with an Alabama classic like Fried Green Tomatoes, but then I remembered the Space Camp movie exists 😆

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

It's okay to find joy in bleak times, perhaps imperative.
I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

Is it finally happening? God, please.
We are at the ai bubble pop.
The next few months we are going to see the most insane fear mongering garbage in a half ass attempt to limp it just a little longer.

If I had to predict a high-impact story that is flying under the radar now but will play a big role in next year's major federal and state elections in the U.S., it'll be electricity prices and data centers. Easy-to-understand affordability and corruption story.
The Data Center Resistance Has Arrived
A new report finds that local opposition to data centers skyrocketed in the second quarter of this year.

Oh yeah, here's my bookshelf stuff.
My shelves are pretty rad (Gaiman being a sex pest was a hard blow and you can judge me for those, I guess, but, like, I've had those books for forever, he won't get more of my money)
I need to see if I can remount that one bug, it's a very fancy mantis.

I got a bunch of weirder shit sitting on the shelves besides the books so....
New fear unlocked
There is a subreddit where people post pictures of bookshelves "bookshelf detective", and sometimes it's like "girl I'm dating, what do you think she is like"
And then the comments guess at what kind of person the owner of the bookshelf is and it feels ODDLY HUMILIATING LOL

Hey Georgia, you have an election today, so vote if you haven't already!
Public Service Commission sets the rates of utilities, but the all-Republican board has basically let Georgia Power, et al set its own rates for years.
Two of those seats are up for reelection today!
