The good: I can apparently lift a golf cart’s front end off the ground. (About 400lbs)
The bad: my left bicep feels like it’s holding on by a thread.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

Veganism is the most accessible diet in the world, it’s more sustainable on the industrialized scale, and it’s far less subsidized than any animal protein in the USA.
The only argument for meat/dairy eating would be grass-fed animals (which turns a thing we can’t eat into a thing we can)

It is interesting how many “degrowth” types completely overlook the green revolution.
Yes, it would be nice to have truly sustainable, hands-on farming practices. But that would require massive labor investment.
Odds are good you’d wind up having to work the fields yourself.

A lot of what undergirds the conservative movement is empowering tyrannical family members. Public schools, college, the welfare state, studio apartments, divorce, women working for pay--all things that help check parental power and allow people to escape their families.
This article isn't political, but you can tell exactly who these people voted for, even if the estrangement wasn't about politics.

On a hike, the corgi checked the local visitor's center and @radarwarble.bsky.social 's Gretta was there, manning the office. While not an active role, she could show him and around Cosmin thanked her with a coffee date and couch cuddles.

Trump designates street fentanyl as WMD, escalating militarization of drug war
Trump has already declared the drug cartels terrorist organizations and ordered military strikes against suspected drug boats. Now he's declaring fentanyl a WMD. Experts on street drugs and fentanyl are skeptical these moves will reduce the supply of fentanyl on America's streets or reduce overdose deaths.

This also happened during Trump’s first term. That 2024 dip? That’s when Democrats went on the defensive, and let Trump and MAGA dictate the immigration narrative.
Why, it’s almost as if political leadership (good and bad) can actually drive public opinion, instead of always following it.

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.
Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.
