"In any case the state of the world is comparable to the time of the Warring States. Oh when will I get some peace of mind."

A polity where the government just invades opposition cities, but every four years it changes who the government is, doesn't seem like a great concept, personally, first of all because that's impossible to sustain.

People do this with analog photography and it drives me nuts.

It's cool that you pushed Tri-X to 6400 ISO but it looks terrible.

The median republican voter is casually bigoted, but generally turned off by this stuff.

Not turned off in a way that would have them do anything about it. Just turned off by the fact that it reflects poorly on them.

When you say they literally think Hitler was good, people do not believe you because it sounds like Godwin’s law in action. But some of them do literally think Hitler was good.

Americans also don't take monarchies seriously. They're something out of fantasy to us, like wizards and dragons. To us, de jure inherited political power is absurd.

Trump, like many old men, is facing his mortality and worried about “what dreams may come,” yet his heart, like Pharaoh’s, is hardened. True repentance would mean him admitting all his crimes and submitting to punishment, but he loves his sins too much. We’re seeing a man choose damnation publicly.

I'm sorry to the Christians here but I don't totally get why the Trump "there is nothing that would get me into heaven" line aroused such interest among you.

My esoteric reading of it is they know it's wine moms (laudatory) and the entire "terrorist" angle makes sense when you read "antifa" as My Bitch Ex-Wife

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

This app should have as much venom for the "Woo" of high-protein diets as they do for homeopathy. HP diets have verified risks for several systems in the body, especially the kidneys and cardiovascular. Protein maxxing is way riskier than, say, kombucha.

At the same time I also like a fancy, sweet drink (looking at you, frozen margaritas).

I feel the same way about coffee. I can enjoy espresso or Turkish coffee, but I also like being a fancy lad with a PSL or Frappuccino.

KPD Max von Sydnow 🇨🇦🇵🇸🇹🇼🇺🇦🇬🇱 @mpdeejay.bsky.social · 5h

No, I actually like the taste of most alcoholic drinks and the warming sensation of neat brandy or whiskey.

If you don't that's fine but I'm not faking it.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

When kid #1 was a baby I would try to read physical books while she napped on me and it was always a challenge. Before kid #2 arrived I got a Kobo and it's been a game changer: It's backlit and fits in one hand.

the physical dimensions a book is published in is a limiting factor in people's ability to read it while commuting. I'm surprised more people don't admit this. I got a kindle so i could read longer/larger books.

Exactly. You don't get to be high and mighty about Trump when your king's brother was in the same sex abuse club as him.

Monarchy is dumb and the veneer of gentility that some countries put over it doesn't make it any less dumb.

FWIW I'm flat-out anti-monarchy. Period. Inherited power - even symbolic - is inherently problematic and anti-democratic. This is a hill I *will* die on.

Snitty 🎃👻 @clofsnitville.bsky.social · 6h

I'll admit that I'm a certified monarchy hater so take this with a grain of salt but also *this country* explicitly rejected monarchy so "no kings" is a perfectly fine slogan thanks.
