Starting a running thread of new music I’m listening to. Goal is one new album a day.

First up, Architects’ first album Hollow Crown. Great stuff. If I’d snagged it in 2009 when it released, it would have become a sizable part of my personality. I can see why Architects has the following they do.
I think weed is the opposite of alcohol in that the more you do it in private, the healthier your relationship to it is
Weed as a drug is cool and fine, partake if you want, but the minute you graduate college it needs to stop being a part of your personality

I don’t know much about the man, but I get the sense this is true, and that he’s very good at it
He is a lot of things but he can read tea leaves.

I would like to thank Silicon Valley for making psychedelics so uncool that adults will stop doing them. Tripping is for teenagers.

Most of you are familiar with that picture of Jill Stein seated at the same table as Vladimir Putin at a 2015 RT gala but what you may not be aware of is that the people who went on to found the Grayzone also attended that event and shortly after returning began parroting Russian talking points
One of the weirder things of the past decade is watching the online creation of an an intransigent “left” in American politics that’s only served Russian interests of destabilization of the West and world order.

The legacy media, for all its many, many faults, loves to ride the lows as much as the highs, and right now Trump is looking really fucking low
the three stories at the top of the post app right now are 1) the fda is planning on further restricting covid vaccines based on evidence it hasn’t explained 2) trump saying he’s closing the airspace over venezuela without the power to do it 3) secdef probably committed war crimes

Also that everyone around him is all-in on everything that’s making them so unpopular. I really don’t see that changing.
Could they turn this around? Maybe. It ain't over.

But the trendline on the 'Trump regime' is bad and the people running it are not very capable.

Meanwhile mass protests suggest the balance of 'street violence' potential is not on the regime's side.

The plate:
- wife did the mac n cheese
- I did the mashed potatoes
- parents did the turkey, stuffing, dressing and cranberry relish and gravy
- sister in law did the brussels

It was good.

What workload? All he does is schedule vacation time, hold press conferences to announce he has no knowledge of anything, and monitors his son's porn usage. Did anyone every figure out where his paycheck actually gets deposited since he doesn't have a bank account? That would be good to know.

TIP: Anyone who posts wild speculation as something that is “almost certainly” the case right now is ~almost certainly~ someone you should not rely on in moments where news is breaking and a story is rapidly developing.

yes, I feel like you can safely ignore anyone who tells you with a straight face in 2025 that you can just do without a smartphone
This article makes really good points about the inability of most people to cut expenses without entirely losing the ability to participate in the economy. I get tired of people telling me to live cheaper by eliminating things that are necessary for modern life.

The idea that “touristy” stuff is for uneducated rubes and real heads search out “authentic” experiences is honestly something that we need to shoot into the sun. Touristy stuff is great, even in your own city!
People who feel bad at being called tourists are without doubt the most tedious people on earth to get stuck next to on a plane and it isn't close to close
Tourists are an interesting group in that they consistently deny what we all know they are. I can’t think of anything that screams tourist more than reducing each experience down to charm bracelet size and wearing it around. If tourism is your thing, just embrace it!

You should not do this so that when you do drop your voice an octave, people will know you Mean Business
My theory is that something like 30% of all men use a fake deep voice almost all the time. So many guys talk and I instantly think “Not your real voice. Now your coward’s soul is bare to me”
So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

Christmas Eve: sushi and I Love Lucy

Christmas day: fancy breakfast (eggs benny, chicken and waffles etc.)

Christmas dinner: usually steak, maybe something else that’s fancy and fun (parents usually did a prime rib, but it’s just the two of us so)
it fascinates me how most everyone in the U.S. does turkey for Thanksgiving, but we are all over the map as to what we eat for Christmas (as is proper for a hugely diverse nation).

I come from a Christmas prime rib roast family, myself.
I also use the bacon method. Although turkey is Christmas dinner where I come from.

Did anyone ever math this out? Because I’m super curious how much the tip was
I assume that getting steak and lobster dinners with 20,000 calories of appetizers for your whole family delivered by personal chauffeur is inexpensive again now that Uncle Joe Brandon is out of the White House at least
