Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

my brain just appends it to any series of clauses

Like "I need to switch the laundry, because I need to change the sheets, because I need to make my bed, because I want to come home to a clean room, because ROCKETS aren't REAL, because the EARTH IS FLAT"

*they were trying to prove the video was fake, because it was recreating a real landing that couldn't have happened, because rockets don't exist, because the earth is flat

**Little resin pyramids with shiny bits inside that generate Universal Life Force, or possibly neutralise Universal Death Force

I got sent down a TERRIFIC rabbit hole by @adem.bsky.social once that started with a forum of Guys analysing shadows on a video of a drone landing*, and ended with me learning about Orgone generators**

honestly I have $5, $10, $30, and $100 (a babe can dream) tiers that are all exactly the same.

$10 is default.

$5 is "exactly like ten but you can't afford that one rn"

$30 is "exactly like ten but you want to give me more money"

I have subscribers at all three levels

Today, I learned that CHEDDAR APPLE CRUMBLE is a real thing. A real thing that people in the United States really eat.

I found the right spell, sorry recipe, and have managed to recreate CHEDDAR APPLE CRUMBLE.

America, you can rest now. You’ve done enough. This is enough. Thank you and goodnight.

People want zines and tapes and burned cds and little hand made objects. Everyone's tired of streaming and "digital goods" and not being allowed to own anything. We're all sick to death of enclosure.

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

And how long has it been?

I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.

I’m still FURIOUS.
