thirst trap...
Best "when it happens" post I've seen yet...
That would actually make for some fun art on the packaging! Unfortunately I do not excel at that type of roasting. I think of my quips and retorts about 24 hrs too late.
Yes!!! If you want to roast your own beans, lmk, I used to do that. I will consult for free.
Dude, movie night when?
I'm really sorry. That's particularly heinous.
Turns out some of the āwe want small governmentā people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.
woke up to soooo many text messages about Dobsonās death. that man ran a āpositive eugenicsā social experiment on millions of children and most people have no idea who he is. rest in pieces, asshole šŖ¦
the passing of one of the worst humans who completely fucked over much of our country makes me want to return to being an extremely online person and get reallllll petty
Holding in the light today all those harmed, demeaned, abused, and destroyed by the Dobson Empire.
He is survived by his legacy of ritualized child abuse and boomers whose adult children won't speak to them. So long to a truly vile human being, one of the great villains of the last century.
My mom parented me, almost exclusively, using the advice of James Dobson. If I had a nickel for the number of times I heard the phrase "love and logic" š¤®, I would be launching my own rockets into space. He taught my parents cruelty and domination. I can't speak badly enough about him.
So worth it, even for a second time (me) or a fourth (my wife). The whole show is interesting. Watching him play slide guitar is mesmerizing.
Went to the Ben Harper show tonight. It was so good!
I am from the SF Bay Area. Newsom has been Like This for 20+ years. I get that people who arenāt as familiar with his schtick are easily impressed but itās likeā¦the legit criticism is there. Itās easy to find.

I regret to inform you that avoiding conflict is not possible. I really tried my best though, I promise.
Itās just kind of hard to think you actually care about keeping the streets safe when you refuse to do anything to keep them from being flooded with guns.
I hear you on the heat and humidity. That doesn't help. Definitely interrupts sleep for me.
Ok, advice is worth what you paid for it, and I'm still struggling, but ... - therapy helped me and I might go back soon - I'm currently prioritizing exercise over my other hobbies - I'm trying to read before bed instead of phone, tv - trying to get more sleep Let us know what works for you.
I have a relative on my wife's side who is very much into raw milk. And they signed us up for this weird alternative health quarterly newsletter... as a Christmas gift š
I really enjoyed the first couple episodes of Alien Earth. Better than all of the recent movies imho. It adds new ideas, does more world building.
This YouTube channel is very inspiring to me right now... www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOO-... Yes, there is all kinds of irony in posting this video from that platform on this platform. Alas...
oof. Those streetcar rails are dangerous, especially with normal sized road bike tires. One of those got me on 10th & NW Lovejoy a few years back. I went over the bars and landed on my feet somehow, probably because my bike at the time was a size too small.
that's a good one
gotta be careful going off those sweet jumps

It's a weird time to be a non-believer, and @www.bugbeardispatch.com does a great job writing about some of the tensions in secular and atheist groups. I also really really appreciate the platforming of non-binary people in a reported piece!!! theflytrap.beehiiv.com/p/can-the-am...

Sounds like she wants to feel superior to other parents.
How is the writing this good ?!?!? I love this show so much.

Ya thatās not a thing in our household. I run by myself, or 12yo occasionally. But Nina, no way.
I was on a run this morning. And normally I have a few drivers who refuse to stop for me at marked cross walks (w/o stoplight). But today I had 3, and one of them was a school bus.
Sorry that happened. Those processes are no fun even when they work out for you, let alone when this happens.
I heard this morning that Francis selected many of the Cardinals who will pick his replacement. So it will be interesting to see.
Iāve used Roka multiple times. I had to make sure I asked the eye doctor for a pupil distance measurement. And I had to file an out of network claim. But the initial price was much lower so it was fine. Iāve been happy with them because they stay on my head and the prescription was correct.
People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Went on a bike ride at lunch. Saw mount Hood behind a fence. Felt oddly symbolic. Itās a partially formed thought but interesting image. Also, the photo makes Hood look so much smaller than it looks as I stand here.
When we evaluate the tariff's effects on our neighbors, we tend to think in terms of money. But what about their humanity? In today's episode of "Highest Power: Church + State," I ask R Scott Okamoto, author of "Asian American Apostate." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
This thread is full of the most wholesome banter and I respect and appreciate that.
It started for me after I graduated college and immediately got married. So not a recent thing for me at all. The pandemic certainly didn't help though.
Hey RFK I will save you a lot of time: do you know what is actually causing the autism epidemic? Autistic people are incredibly sexy and keep finding each other and keep procreating. Hope that helps! I regret to inform you that there is no ācureā for our rizz.

Some good news!
Tariffs are taxes ā full stop. But unlike income taxes, tariffs are a flat tax on survival. It isnāt economic patriotism. Itās austerity in disguise. Itās wealth redistribution ā just upside down. And like any good con, it works best when no one realizes itās happening. I explain on Substack (free)
tldr; - many things wonāt be on-shored because of the utter lack of manufacturing ecosystem. They will just keep paying the tariffs. - some bike parts were never made in the US - exports of high end US-made parts will likely suffer greatly (Paul components, White Industries, etc).
If youāre curious about a more specific analysis about how Tariffs will affect a specific industry, in this case bikes and bike parts, this article was very informative www.renehersecycles.com/bikes-in-the...
I think Bruno has the right idea about Mondays.
I hope your Saturday is going like Pearlās.

Itās out folx!! Check out this interview with @emilyjoyallison.bsky.social where we rage and chat and wander about purity culture, queerness, deconstruction, and the world being on fire. open.spotify.com/episode/4CLG...
Yāall, this is one of my favorite episodes weāve done since I joined the podcast. Kat is awesome, and this episode covers important ground. Also, SUPPORT AN INDIE BLACK PODCAST! In this current climate, supporting Black creators is a tangible action step of rebellion. Come join us!
I used to pay about $800-ish for an accountant. I believe a certain friend in Salem might have an idea of whether he can help though.

Very optimistic film. Iām kinda curious about a rewatch.
only negative was the automatic pdf reader had a bug where it put the middle initial with the last name from previous years returns. Took 2 seconds to correct. Overall I'm super impressed.
I used FreeTaxUsa instead of Turbotax this year š¤Æ, despite the fact that all of my info was basically automatically in TT. Positives: - took about 1 hour less for me than with TT - cost me way less: $42.97 (with audit defense etc.) vs. $150-200 with TT www.freetaxusa.com?share=NJLCpv
making a point of sharing good things so that i donāt forget. my friendās child has an undocumented best friend. my friend and the kidsā teacher have been working for months to get the kiddoās paperwork together and his application for citizenship was APPROVED yesterday!! š
Owned this one and saw them in concert twice, one of which was at āCreation Festā at the Gorge. My first concert though was Michale W Smith and DC Talk circa 1993š¬
I keep hearing my previous therapistās voice in my head, reminding me about how important courage is for my mental health. That guy really understood me. Iāve struggled with rejection and self esteem my whole life. Attempting to develop courage appears to be gradually helping me face things I avoid
The christians and mormons are not ok.
Ya I still have the number of Alaska miles in my head that would get me a free ticket in 2002. It was 1/3 to 1/2 of what it is today. I would accumulate those miles from just a couple flights a year and *no credit card*.
Yo, discounted running shoe prices went up (last yearās models etc). Right when kiddo decided he wants to do track.
Most of their interests are aligned, yes (insider trading, political contributions, etc). Main difference I can see is that they just want to appear kinder to their children and grandchildren.
itās Womenās History Month and if you need a little encouragement you should listen to the story of a Black woman who fought American fascism and saw a lot of incredible wins in her life because she refused to quit. āš½ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
I've been wanting to read this. Isn't this from the "Sounds Like a Cult" podcast host?

Thanks for reaching out! The bonkersness is real, for sure. Jerry was a great guy on the floor.
So cute! I love Corgis!
In my personal opinion, I think white evangelicals will be the absolutely last group of people to admit they have been lied to by Trump. It will take SO much horror and damage for them to get to that place (and even then, who knows?). This is because itās directly tied to their entire worldview.
Approaching / already in peak pain post dental implant oral surgery. Anyone have any pictures of cute animals? Anyone have any good news to share? Hoping critter cuteness and good news will be an analgesic.
today on the pod weāre talking about one of the absolute icons of the civil rights movement. if youāre needing some encouragement this week, check it out ā¤µļø podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
Just got back from oral surgery. I feel good. A little loopy, so I may be prone to saying silly things. My wife keeps reminding me Iām repeating the same stories and experiences from today š. Anyways, feeling alright so far.
Stoked to announce this!
Seriously though. I am also mentally preparing myself that multi-generational households will be much more common going forward.
This happens even today, see for example Courtney Dauwalter at the Moab 240 ultra trail race: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtne... One of the greatest athletes of all time, *currently* kicking ass. Gets no mainstream recognition.
