I heard “inshallah and the creek don’t rise” the other day.
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money." That's the first sentence of what people call Boots Theory. And there are people discussing literal boots- and comparing $200 work boots to $1000 fashion boots. Vs. $15 plastic boots...
Another version of this: My Special Interest is historical sewer systems, and during the most explosive scene in Guillermo Del Toro's new Frankenstein, when everything's blowing up, James hears me go, "is that a 45-degree sluice with a basket-handle profile??? Give me a BREAK"

Outspent Abdul 8.75 times and still couldn't stick the landing. :3c
again, if i had a calculator that gave me the wrong answer one (1) time, i would throw it out and never use it again and could probably bankrupt the company by simply telling people what happened
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · yesterdayGotta love the “or stocks” part. Like Gemini realized its first answer was nuts so it tried to wedge in a better one.
Done and done, voted early. If you're a MO voter and you haven't voted yet, VOTE TODAY
Sandstone@quartzen.bsky.social · 2d agoMissouri friends: tomorrow is Election Day and I'm sure you already know to vote NO on amendments 4 and 5 to preserve our citizen-led ballot measure process and prevent a huge statewide sales tax hike, but please also vote YES on 1 to preserve an existing tax for parks and conservation too!
The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...
What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?
Three months after it was announced, the secretary of transportation’s summer show—funded by companies he regulates—hasn’t aired a single episode.

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
There's a rumor going around that Flock cameras have 2 or 3 pounds of copper inside them and 1-2 grams of gold. Sounds crazy, but that's what people are saying.
Were like 30% of everyone 's gym teachers a little off, or was it just me? Asking for kids in Washington State.
So I might be really sentimental this morning, but I love you guys. Just watching people relitigate The Little Mermaid and name their dogs.

Re Todd Blanche: anything done in a memo can be undone in another memo.
Unlike that of the rest of southeast Asia, Pakistan's gas demand has been falling. Pakistan's solar boom is partly attributable to excellent do-it-yourself videos on Tiktok and youtube, and partly to two other factors, says Zainaab Basil in an interview with BNEF. www.bnef.com/insights/40017
Linked to article is lying about stories. I assume AI - maybe human. The project reported on (and linked to) is *cranberries* (not blue). The ‘sweeter’ berries claim is made up. The reference linked to with claims of testing is a solar project database site. Nothing related to fruit testing.
In Massachusetts, a solar farm was raised nine feet above blueberry fields, and its shade is changing how the fruit grows and tastes

I hope I remember the word "testerical" when I need it.
@misgivings.bsky.social · 3d agoAbsolutely agree! RFK jr seems absolutely testerical.
Seems like a good time to mention that 30% of people who get knee replacements have regrets. Including my dad. Last time I mentioned this, like eight people were like "Yeah, me too!"
Xtra @xtramagazine.com · 3d agoCanadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.
Any other bookstores seeing a slight but noticeable uptick in folks asking for books that were hot 5-10 years ago? Nothing wrong with that in & of itself, but I'm suspicious this is coming from AI recommendations & that could pose yet another problem.
