Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

✊ No workers. No food. In Colorado, 3800 marginalized workers are taking on the world’s biggest meat company #JBS. Fighting for safety, dignity & fair pay. “This strike is a matter of life and death.” When workers organise, power shifts. 📖 grocerynerd.substack.com/p/grocery-up...

grocerynerd.substack.comGrocery Update #146: Why JBS Meat Packing Workers Are Still On Strike."This is a fight led by immigrant workers, by a female president, taking on the largest food producer in the world."

My gym is so busy on weeknights that often the only cardio machine left open is the rowing machine. So I picked up rowing out of necessity. And holy shit it's all I think about now. I yearn the erg. Best sport for chronic disassociators.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

my office flooded this morning which sounds bad but there's now a wildfire across the street so we might be doing some real Buddhist parable stuff here

Really cool this is happening while a tsunami is racing towards us in real time

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️
