to keep functioning, society has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

“During surveillance in the area, I observed a male subject loitering while seated in a vehicle. Based on his behavior, I approached and initiated a consensual encounter.”

I have now had a chance to test out the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires in some heavy snow.

Here's a short thread on my thoughts. Overall extremely pleased with a few minor surprises.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Well well well, if it isn't the thing literally everyone whose brain is functioning properly saw coming.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This story has extra juice when you know the pretext behind "operation Midway Blitz"

And now I'm back on my other bullshit

Lucky for you my lazy ass also kept the scoops and they're different in several suspicious ways.

You're probably sick of hearing about dishwasher powder...

so let's talk about laundry detergent. I'm a lazy ass who can't be bothered to throw away old boxes sometimes but look what that laziness hath wrought.

just why exactly is one box good for 80 loads but the other does 89, hmm?
November 6, 2025 at 2:13 AM
I'm mad I forgot to include this fun little tidbit in my various videos.
Here's a wild thing:

Ecolab (the company that makes commercial cleaning supplies for the hospitality industry) sells Finish co-branded pouches of dishwasher powder to extended-stay hotels.

And you can bet those products work great given who they're selling to and why.

Re-posting out of a thread:

It is a weird phenomenon for me to find myself having to argue this point as I thought it was self-evident but apparently not.

Big corporations would rather you buy more of their product and they found a perfect way to make sure you buy more.

Another satisfied customer!
I’ve seen your earlier stuff on the subject. But this one finally made me give loose powder a shot so I could soap the pre-wash because my plastic cutting mats always come out with a greasy residue. And voila—they’re immediately much cleaner! Thanks.
November 5, 2025 at 5:01 PM
AH!

Dishwashers exist primarily to make living with traditional dinner ware easier. It's the anti-single-use-item machine.

The pods are like "but what if we force some single-use items into your routine?"

I think that's why I hate them so much.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Well, I've proven Big Pod wrong, I've finally got my favorite gadget again (my Pebble watch), election outcomes look pretty neat...

haven't felt this good in a while that's for sure
November 5, 2025 at 2:20 AM
I knew people were going to be annoying about this in the comments so I was prepared for that, but for the record...
Oh for sure, the powder from Good Store isn't a good value, but it proves powders being worse than pods is nothing but bullshit and that's why I'm proud to be a part of it.
November 4, 2025 at 10:12 PM
BTW, I would really like @consumerreports.org to watch this video and perhaps start breathing down the necks of those big companies for forcing everyone into using pre-dosed products.

That's the opposite of pro-consumer, imo.

Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market.

Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions.
