I’m convinced the Vietnamese people invented the best sandwiches on earth specifically to upstage the French as an act of anti colonialism

Anyway didn't think I'd be saying anything so dumb by the end of this as "literal heaven sounds nicer than capitalism" but here we are. So I'll leave you with a happy solstice, an appreciation for pretty hymns, and an earnest plea to organize your workplaces <3

It was comforting but also sad. As I count down the hours before i go to a job that's fine but I don't really enjoy and am not paid especially well for the idea of a break that just keeps going sounded blissful. No counting down the hours.

It was the whole "we'll sing your praise 10,000 years and have no less time than when we first begun" verse. I think of my weekends in terms of the amount of time I have left before work. So this idea of like "wow we've been singing and shit for awhile now and guess what we get to do it forever"

Also sad that they use the likeness of Kabosu, the original "doge" who passed away in May, for their shitty crypto scam and now a government "agency" hell bent on making everyone's life worse. Kabosu from what I've read was such a good girl and doesn't deserve to me remembered this way :(

A nuclear block so powerful Nate Silver blocked himself

Love storygraph! Openreads is another good option for people who prefer a more offline solution. Also open source and AI-free if that matters to you, but any movement away from Bezos is good!

"Remembering the Corrupted Blood incident: That time WoW was overrun by a virtual plague now referenced by Covid-19 researchers"

Feel the same way. Most people are just not concerned about the back end of their social media, and Bsky has very successfully created a welcoming atmosphere/UX while making movements towards being an open/decentralized platform

worst wishes to them actually
