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

Remember when the right wing said it was dangerous to wear masks?
a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

there are about 10 vacant homes for every homeless person in Ireland - and I know that's oversimplified and imperfect maths, but I'm still mad

I think this is in no small part true, but some things are just unnecessarily difficult now, to be fair. Obvious things are obscured on UIs, you should be able to pay for a bus with cash if you have it, I dunno.
most of the old people you encounter in daily life are a part of or were the middle class, so they aged relying on the servant class pre-iphone to baby them in every facet of their life. thats why they cant use a card, or pay bus fare with their phone, or use facetime. its all learned helplessness

I eat at this table. I’d rather Billy not sit on it. So we’ve reached a compromise: I’ll eat off a plate on my lap and he’ll sit wherever the fuck he wants. Cats always turn me into the Chuck Schumer of my own apartment.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

It's kinda weird that we haven't had a big budget biopic of the life of Daniel O'Connell.
Lads. Jane Austen and Daniel O'Connell were both born in 1775.
If I've learned anything from Tiktok historians, that means they probably hooked up, right?

This cycle path has resulted in more people cycling on this road, but maintenance is needed otherwise it makes the route weather-dependent for at least some users:
Update on this cycle-lane. Last Thursday, someone came to clear the drains, but left all the leaves & rubbish in place in clumps. So when it rained again, all the shores blocked again.
The problem isn't the leaves; it's the sh1tty design & no maintenance.

To add to this, if they're into sports, or outdoor activities, hiking socks, running socks, cycling socks, good ones make a huge difference to comfort.
Comfort: Bridgedale wool socks with padded soles.
Quirky: This can be big for men for whom novelty ties are a step too far. Try Art Socks shop.nationalgallery.ie/collections/...
Luxury: Bright colours, very if you know you know, sock makers to the pope. meschaussettesrouges.com/en/collectio...
