When your company institutes its return to office policy and they say they polled people and it turns out they only talked to 3 out of 300 people, yep, that's bad. But when you have 175+ million registered voters, polling 1% of them is actually pretty great work.

I know some people really like their clicky keyboards, but we need to invent ones that are outwardly silent but will play the clicks in the headphones of the people who want them. It's so goddamn distracting.

To the windows To the walls And we're going to stop at the walls.

Anyone on this app doing the awful duty of watching Trump TV and reporting on it? I want to know what garbage it's showing, but not enough to watch it directly and give them traffic.

After 40 years, I finally saw The Transformers: The Movie on the big screen, and it was enough to actually make me write a post on my blog. Every word of this skeet makes me feel old.

Sure, I'll donate $50. ... [Clicks link. Sees recommended donation amounts] ... Fine, take your $69. You win.

When you see skeletons of things that don't have skeletons I like to think that it is a spirit trying to make a corporeal form out of bits of bone it steals from other sources.

Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.

The wizard lady get no credit for making a minor pro-trans statement until she spends ten times as much money defending trans people as she has attacking them.

this is what juries were made for. a lot of americans need reprogramming from viewing it as jury duty to treating it as peer power

So, it’s not a conspiracy, and you are not imagining it. The biggest and wealthiest tech leaders are genuine fascists. They are leading an active and intentional systematic attack on labor. And they have radicalized each other while sidelining or removing the remaining decent execs in the industry.

"Well.... 🎶 Byeeeeeeeeeee 🎶"

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

When I was a child, every now and then my family would have a special dinner: srevotfel. It was always delicious and never the same. It wasn't until I was older that I realized it was just "leftovers" backwards and my mother was crafting a meal out of whatever remained of previous meals.

Took this today with my phone from the deck of a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. I've seen three or four solar eclipses in my life, but this is by far the clearest and best I've ever seen. A singular experience I'll likely never repeat.

Went to Monet's house, listened to Vincent by Don McLean. I think I did that wrong.

Someday I will stand on the edge of the Hoover Dam and listen to Hoover Dam by Sugar.

Listen to Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover in Dover. Check.

I find it weird when families take separate flights in case of catastrophy, but you know they all ride around in the same car on the regular.

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.

Marvin, it’s your cousin Chuck! Chuck the Martian! You know that Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator you’ve been looking for? Well listen to THIS! [phone is actually just a stick of dynamite, explodes]

It isn't an album by *a* band, but I may have listened to this CD, without skipping tracks, more than any other of the period.

I mean, frankly, pretty much every country should be denying visas to our officials since this administration hasn't shown respect to very many nations. At least deny all underlings and only let the top guys in. Rubio, yes, but no one else from State unless he's with them.

"I got a goddamn plan!" -Valentine McKee, Tremors

He kept comparing it to Vietnam, and unfortunately he's likely to be right. We may not be able to end the war in Iran until a new president is elected. And even then they'll be fighting a whole lot of sunk cost fallacy after 3 years of conflict.

I don't think he has ever been to an Olive Garden.

Call out the hypocrisy for your own sake, not for them. They'll never feel shame about it because having two standards, one for themselves and one for everyone else, is exactly their goal.

You either break up the monopolies so that real competition can exist to equalize the market, or you accept that it has to be a monopoly, nationalize it, and remove shareholders and profit to keep prices down.

When it comes out that Mitch was dead the entire time, I would like it if every person who lied about it to prevent a special election to be charged with some form of election tampering/fraud. Because that's what it is. It'll have to come from the state though. Trump's DOJ won't lift a finger.

Any restaurant that serves ICE agents deserves to have no other customers. Hotels that let ICE agents stay deserve to have no other occupants. Being an ICE agent should be disqualifying for participating in polite society, and those that cater to them should reap no rewards.

Vive la Révolution! Liberté, Egalité, et Fraternité!

The Black Panther Party was way ahead of the curve back then and the message still applies today

Think globally, act locally.

If you want to see fireworks, go to a show. A real show.

There's this great scene in The Rocketeer where the Feds and the Mob are standing side by side fighting the Nazis. They look at each other, then go back to fighting Nazis. Reading folks say that Dems need to fight the DSA makes me think of that scene, and sad. Dems should focus on fighting Nazis.

I will never disparage a religious person who wants to help people because of their calling. But we have a lot of folks who want to make things so miserable that you are forced to come crawling to their religion for aid. Those people I fucking hate.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?
