I get why people want to be patriotic but it's unbelievably childish, reactionary, and almost always boils down to "This country is good because I live here."

Mamdani is going to win. The question will now be, "Can you reproduce this?" It's doubtful. He's talented. But it's possible, first of all, if you remember all politics is local, and the more local you get - the more people recognize you - the more things like age and parties cease to matter.

I would pay so much money to never, ever have to hear about Taylor Swift of tracis Kelce ever again. Even more to completely have them removed from my brain eternally.

Wife, other room: what's a "therian"?
Me: a furry who wants you to think it's spiritual and not for perverts
Wife: don't judge people's kinks
Me: I didn't say being a pervert was bad

My bday is coming up and I used it as an excuse to buy myself a Supernote Nomad e-notebook. I take a shitload of notes for work but physical notepads have started to become inconvenient and I like the idea of taking notes on the device and sending it to my computer or phone.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

There is this bizarre tendency among people who I assume should be smarter or flatly antagonistic to the regime to accept the regimes statements on their power and abilities at face value.

Every time someone drops into my comments asking about a general strike, I have to remind folks that unlike in Europe we have at will employment here allowing essentially anyone to be fired at any time for any reason, and health insurance tied to employment.

The amount of organizing
