this is just a “planned” bill right now, so hopefully they’ll get to that.

oh geez, thanks for the correction there

there’s video, no one was doing anything to him. he got out of his SUV, started yelling at people, returned to the vehicle, got back out with the weapon at his side. self defense would have been (a) for literally anyone to have threatened him and (b) for him to simply leave the scene.

Eat heathy, and live a long life? Jesus christ, who has the energy for that?

my energy isn’t a magic spell. it comes from my habits, diet, sleep, and social support network. I do my best to cultivate each of these. when I lived in a toxic place, I moved. my government is still evil (as it was last year) but sometimes, on good days, it seems like people are starting to wake up. that would be very consequential.

I’m not perfect; I am drinking too much. so yeah I do get where you’re coming from. I used to drink too much soda, too, but it was not actually all thatdifficult to cut down from 3 a day to one a month. all my brain needed was one soda to look forward to, didn’t really matter when it was. and then once I got to that point, I was feeling sooo much better that there was a very clear mental map from drink-soda to feel-like-ass.

oh I don’t consider them obnoxious. I’m from Python-land, they’ve been saving our asses with good tooling lol. the quality of output from the rust ecosystem speaks for itself

I love these guys so much. I see them all over the place near my home in The lower Hudson Valley. They are extremely skittish about humans and really sneaky!

Stop it

Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.

It’s a Rachel and Tobias situation!

Ha, good question, it was not easy. I’ve just been picking over at other content in the true crime genre trying to chase that dragon - I tried a couple of other podcasts that were recommended (Beyond All Repair and Death On The Ice), but what really ended up grabbing me next was “Who TF Did I Marry,” which is a woman’s 7-hour recounting on TikTok of her experience being married to a pathological liar, and how it feels as it slowly dawns on her. She’s an amazing storyteller, strongly recommended

Bone Valley, eight-episode, superb quality true crime podcast by Pulitzer prize winner Gilbert King.

I want to understand this comment!

I usually refer to im as “vi” just to make people think I’m old school and cool save time typing that last character.

But Obsidian??

I’m curious what’s the financial outcome here for the customers? I don’t remember what Humane’s price model for these pins was, and none of these articles are discussing it. For example… Eh I’ll just look it up.

Oh my god it was $500-$700 up front plus a $25 monthly fee. That’s just horrible; will the customers be getting refunds? [Looks it up] Nope.

Thank you!

That’s interesting. What kind of massage are you talking about here?

To be quite honest I never allowed my Kindle or my Kobo to go online and the experience is not that different. The build quality on the Kindle is a bit better superior and I might well go back. Calibre is the real hero of the story IMO.

I just got a Kobo color (don’t recommend the color feature; no book is ever going to use it except the red-letter Bible and House of Leaves) and gifted the old Kindle to a friend. I e-reader is an awesome gift actually because for a lot of people it’s something they would never evenly in years take a chance on, but that they would love it if they tried.

I really wish journalists would write, for example, “they say that they want to return it to the mission” rather than “they want to”. They do this with Trump all the time. (“he believes tariffs are a powerful tool” - the fuck he does)

“Blades in the Dark but make it Archer”? Yes please my god
