I spent half the day in Salt Lake City and forgot to try the local delicacy. If I understand correctly, they just go nuts with one of those Coke Freestyle machines.

Yesterday I walked into a suburban Maryland Starbucks and three different people had their phones playing without headphones. Absolutely not - I walked right back out. The social norms here are so fucked that people at the library do it, just with the volume real low. I can hear two right now!

uhh hey folks, a word of advice do NOT give your duress password to the law enforcement as if it's your actual password unless you want to be charged with destruction of evidence

I'm actually astonished at how clean this graph looks as a diagnostic for our housing ills. Note how close it is to 1 at the start. Houses per single adult or married couple.

Never having visited Boston before, I was expecting a bunch of sports fanatics with thick accents being loudly racist and homophobic. The first two stereotypes proved true on the ride into town but this is the very first thing you see when exiting my train station, so maybe these folks are ok.

I'm back to tell you that I am now teaching Brazilian Jiujitsu in Seattle at Red Panda Muay Thai! I have 20 years of experience across various grappling arts and combat sports, with a brown belt in both BJJ and Judo, and experience in muay thai, wrestling, and defensive pistol applications. 🐈‍⬛🥋

I wonder how long this has been going on. Like, at what point do you go to the trouble of putting up the second sign?

i just watched these crabs get loaded into the bucket and didn't see a lot of pulling-down-your-neighbor behavior. tbh i don't think they could have gotten out even with cooperation. once you're in the bucket you're pretty much cooked
