What are we doing here? If this is sincere, what are we doing? If it's a joke what are we doing? Just. What are we doing. Why are we not joining hands and walking into the sea?
I can’t emphasize enough how much you need to watch this until the end

A man who looks like this lecturing people about what's "healthy" and "natural" is straight out of a Twilight Zone Episode

Oh god, this is why the fucking car wash is suddenly aggressively branded and wants to send me texts
I will keep using the half-broken auto wash in the mostly abandoned set of coin-op self wash bays, thanks

Why are there FIVE car washes around me? Maybe because private equity loves them.

Why Are There Suddenly So Many Car Washes?
Fueled by private equity and a subscription-based business model, the auto wash industry is flooding the US with new outlets. Some towns and cities have had enough.

I suppose if State Media comes to America through a corporate hostile takeover that will at least be thematically appropriate

One of the biggest problems I have making this argument to normies is pervasive political cynicism. When I tell them Newsom is a skin suit that stands for nothing and has no values they just roll their eyes. "That's all politicians" they say, clearly thinking me naive.
Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

Butlerian Jihad Now?
I just got a "Decomputing" talk accepted by a very tech-focused business conference (as a Keynote even) and a labor rights organization who wanted me to propose a talk instantly went for the "The Luddites were right" suggestion. Two things that a few months ago would not have been possible I think.

So Samin Nosrat answered my question on her podcast, and I asked "what else can I do with burnt honey besides the icebox cake in your book" and she gave a very nice answer, part of which was "just make some and play with it!"
So I did. Now my house smells like caramelized beehive. It's amazing.
