“He didn’t look around, and watch and learn, and then say, ‘This is how people are, how do we deal with it?’ No, he sat and thought: ‘This is how the people ought to be, how can we change them?’ And that was a good enough thought for a priest but not for a copper…”

Discworld QOTD, from Eric
"Hell, it has been suggested, is other people.
This has always come as a bit of a surprise to many demons, who had always thought that hell was sticking sharp things into people and pushing them into lakes of blood and so on."

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.
@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

The reduction in wait times for Designated Crisis Responders is good news for our mental health system in King County, and the next step is building out crisis centers and mobile crisis response teams to prevent people from needing involuntary treatment in the first place.

Two years ago, the average wait time for patients to get a mental health evaluation from a Designated Crisis Responder was nearly five days. Now, it's 11 hours.

It's not a fucking loss. The USPS is a SERVICE. That's what the service COST. That there was ever a time when it was self-sustaining is the anomaly. Fuck this stupid framing.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?

If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.
The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”

Never knew until this moment that Bernie Taupin wrote We Built This City. Don't love the song, don't hate it, either. Always been indifferent to it. But now, if he's ever brought before The Hague, I won't be onboard but I'll understand.
ABSOLUTELY NOT
This is a trash song with trash lyrics and trash production that is the absolute worst thing ever to escape Bernie Taupin's head, it sounds like cocaine heavily cut with baby powder and expired laxative feels, if 80s pop music were the Hapsburgs, this song is Charles II of Spain.

“We Built This City” is a good song, actually www.pastemagazine.com/music/starsh... I never understood the hate for that song. There are truly terrible songs. This isn't one of them.

There's also a grizzled raccoon who's seen too much, a wine drunk lynx with late night ennui, and a sleepy little squirrel who often feels the weight of the world.

Dear folks who post videos and have sponsorship spots: when you say that the shipping is "free for the US!", take a moment & double check that.
If it says "contiguous united states" then it means Alaska & Hawaii are left paying fees no matter what.
Which means it's NOT "free" for everyone.
