cannot stress enough how the leading quality i want in 2028 dem primary fronteunnwr is “vengeful”
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

I can’t believe it flopped. I thought everyone was dying for a badly written account of what it’s like to have phone sex with a spoon stuck in a garbage disposal.

I read a book on making money in ancient Athens recently (by Michael Leese, it's great), and the Greeks absolutely believed that the endless pursuit of wealth was a serious moral defect and personality issue no different than being a drunk or sexual deviant.
If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

update: we've received reports of a second donut wall, this one in the form of a pole, accompanied by its cousins, Holly the pretzel tree and of course, Shakey, the Cracker Stacker.

Not telling Matt anything he doesn't know, but: the response to "threats in women's sports" is nearly identical to how fundies react to "threats of sexual abuse in church". They blame outsiders, demonize people from other ways of life, all while ignoring the real threats of abuse: men in leadership
whats so frustrating to me about the "women's sports" issue is that there are so many clear threats to women's sports participation, from K12 to college, that lawmakers transparently do not have a shit about. Somebody smart should try to reframe the conversation around what defending sports means!

DC crows seem to move as one giant pack, and it's always kind of intense to see them. Near sunset, they flew over a bit of highway on my commute home, something like 2-3,000? I like to think crow is watching over us.

When I saw this, it seemed like the kind of trashy one expects from D&D, but after starting to watch the Chinese "3 Body Problem" series, it seems it's actually tonally consistent with the source material.

Attention NYC: We made it past the earliest sunset of the year.
No, it's not on the solstice. That's the shortest day, but the earliest sunset is sooner and the latest sunrise is later.
So those of us who, like me, are primarily offended by early sunsets have officially survived rock bottom.

An excellent overview of Krampus and similar figures, and earlier this year he published a follow-up book about Carnival figures that I really ought to get hold of too.

Christmas Songs on Weird Instruments with Matt posts every day and they're both wholesome and educational for anybody looking for that, including giant stuffies & cats. Just have to be prepared for the instruments he's not well-practiced on - sometimes quite jarring!
