insane local news just dropped. i've lived in a part of KC for ~decade and it's been an inside joke with friends and service workers that the local biz/party district is ran by a cartel of biz owners who bully out new ventures and replace them with generic dive bars for white suburbanites.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms
you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

I’ve seen a ton of people looking for gifts on Buy Nothing. It’s another great place to pass along items that are useful to someone that’s not you.
Reminder: now's a good time to clear out stuff you don't use anymore. Everybody's broke & buying stuff for the holidays. Drop good stuff to thrift stores/ buy nothing/fb marketplace BEFORE the holidays hit.
It's good for climate & just being nice to each other.
I'm clearing out old cameras today.

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

This is a part of why I enjoy authors, artists, and other media people in y social feed. They often recommend works by friends or that they personally enjoyed. It tends to be in a similar genre (see: friends) but isn’t always.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I put some unused cookbooks in the little free library across the street and someone took them. I hope they find some recipes in there that they like!

Taxes are your civic duty. It is a privilege to be a part of a larger society, and they are your dues.
Taxes are good! Taxes are how we pay for all of the things that make society a good place to live!
People who don't like taxes are selfish and stupid and make our entire society worse for their own short term, often barely noticeable gain.

For the love of all that is holy, get yourself a meat thermometer. It is essential and will save you from wiggling a turkey leg to see if it’s “wiggly enough.”
(A) stop feeling pressure to be perfect;
(B) normalize asking questions, because that is normalizing learning;
(C) do not ask AI if your turkey is done; ask a meat thermometer

Don't remember my first CD. Never bought a lot of cassettes, but...
Cassette: Dead Milkmen, "Big Lizard in My Backyard"
Vinyl: Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" and Elvis Costello "Armed Forces," bought on the same trip to Appletree Records in Normal, IL.

Also Christmas prime rib with Yorkshire pudding. I’ve started making a nice horseradish cream sauce that’s new, though.
it fascinates me how most everyone in the U.S. does turkey for Thanksgiving, but we are all over the map as to what we eat for Christmas (as is proper for a hugely diverse nation).
I come from a Christmas prime rib roast family, myself.

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge
#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.
The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).

This is correct.
i would push rogue one down and bring solo and the last jedi up. i’d also place attack of the clones at the bottom.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”
November 24, 2025 at 7:38 PM
This is correct.
2 years? LOL, no. I just upgraded from an iPhone XR because it got to slow to be usable.
There are whole campaigns designed to get people to hold onto their phones for just one year longer because it's so bad for the environment to toss them every two years, and now people are doing that and CNBC Is like "we were kidding"

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
