I think we're learning: -consumerism is an overpowering populist force in American society -the populism expresses itself as a base urge for greater consumption; it is not reactive to conditions on the ground -people are ashamed of this and often try to disguise it as other types of politics

America’s most important military campaign has officially entered the portion of the group project where someone asks whether anyone has any ideas. I like number 4. www.duffelblog.com/duffel-blogs...

Duffel Blog’s Top 13 ideas for solving the Iran War

CENTCOM requested creative and unconventional proposals. It did not specify they had to be good.

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

As I was saying

At some point we are going to have to reckon with what percentage of the Thought Leadership we get from this class of people is just drug addiction. Either a lot of credulous reporters have never listened to someone tooted out of their mind go on a monologue or they're afraid to call it out.

New: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to create a pretext to search a man's car for weed. Their justification? He drove from Wisconsin to Michigan, a “known source state for marijuana as it is legal there,” and Flock showed he "travels to Michigan frequently." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...

Cops Used Flock to Track a Man Across State Lines to Create Pretext to Search His Car for Weed

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

We won't have to ban it. It's too expensive to run and it's been subsidized so heavily that when the financing runs out Claude and ChatGPT simply won't exist anymore.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

yeah man, the way I know it's bad parenting is that I've known both guys and gals (including some exes) who do *not* understand even basic hygiene principles. I dated one gal who was doing stuff like roller derby and *would get absolutely enraged* at the suggestion she bathe more than twice a week.

John Robie@jrobie.bsky.social · yesterday

I don't understand how this even happens. Like I can't imagine *all* the parents of *all* these guys failed to teach them to wash as children. Did they just... stop at some point?

Meanwhile, I'm over here wanting to (and often) taking two showers per day because my Alaskan body cannot stand this nightmarish Georgia heat. And when you're a grown-up, smelling bad is EMBARASSING

amazing how so few of the gazillion think pieces criticizing women for not dating straight men fail to mention the whole “many of them literally don’t wash their asses” thing:

Both of my sister’s family’s elder cats passed away earlier this year. While it took a bit longer than I expected, this weekend they adopted a new one. Sharing it here even though Bluesky notoriously doesn’t care much for cats.

This is probably the most messed up draft skeet I've ever written. I had to stop. It was too brutal an insult.

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
