The engine powering the Trump administration is cocaine.

Need coke to deal with crises -> Out of Coke! -> pardon dealer -> do coke -> murder coke dealers -> oops war crimes -> need Coke to deal with crises…

This pardoned guy is basically Stringer Bell. That bad.

You cannot turn off Liquid Glass.

You can reduce its impact by going into system -> accessibility and turning off transparency.

It’s a toggle about halfway down.

These guys just want to bring back the 70s _in general_ — stagflation, mass unemployment, racism, worthless wars and corduroy pants. Because what I absolutely want to do is trade in my 60 mpg hybrid for a Woodie.

At least we got excellent movies and music out of the 70s.

The bronze statue depicting the eponymous cybernetic star of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 set-in-Detroit sci-fi satire was installed in Eastern Market on Wednesday, nearly 15 years after someone proposed it in a viral social media post.

Rented One Battle After Another having no idea it was inspired by Vineland. One does not jump scare Pynchon. There are manners. There are rules in polite society.

It’s not Vineland because Pynchon but it has Pynchon flourishes and paranoia and general weirdness. Excellent movie… just jump scare.

That was certainly a rousing match of a game of foot I watched.

How Michigan wins after 5 turnovers is a mystery for the ages.

I don’t understand how Michigan could be playing Northwestern in downtown Chicago considering, according to El Dictator and his shameless droogs, it’s a bombed out hellhole.

Or is that only on Fox News vs Fox Sports?

I laid hands on Jean Bóttero’s Religion in Ancient Mesopotamia and the best summary of how he describes Akkadian relationship with their Gods from a variety of original sources is “pants shitting existential terror.”

So your hot plan is to stop sending money to insurance companies and send money to people to send to insurance companies.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. I….. you know what? Never mind.
Hey kids the Trump Healthcare

This is an obscure but super interesting election. People are clearly not happy with prices in general or AI data centers hiking their energy bills in particular.

So much for the next great tech.

I know I’m extremely late to the party, but I enormously enjoyed @tkingfisher.com’s Nettle & Bone. Just a terrific read about human characters who happen to be Princesses and Witches on a crazy road trip to kill a dude who has it coming. 5 stars from me, will read again.

Let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarcy, that in America the law is King. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other.

My bookshelf with about 1/2 my Revolutionary War book collection and a bunch of art books for no good reason today.

I may have indeed read most of these books. (But not the period encyclopedias that’s just weird.)
