Well folks, I did actually just save 15% or more by switching to geico. That posh lizard was onto something.

A horde of drunk teenagers showed up on the street outside my house. After some investigation I learned they got kicked out of a house a few doors down. One of them asked me: "didn't you have fun and go to parties when you were younger?" What the hell man, I am 20! Absolutely gutted by a *child*

Who up preparing incoherent and contradicting opinions to strongly hold over the thanksgiving table?

I'm rereading The Pushcart War for reasons and am reminded again how it is not only science-fiction (set in the future!) and formally inventive, but also is a manual for collective action, resistance, protest, that is very relevant today. So here's a thread:

Back in the glory days of Tammany Hall they'd get some clueless patsy to be mayor while the machine bosses ran things behind the scenes and you can see today why that's a smart setup compared to "let's CC the mayor on all the crime memos" setup the Adams administration ran.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #39,557! Guess I was kinda late to the game
