quality of life is increasingly going to be determined by the willingness and ability of state and local governments to maintain infrastructure and services in the face of federal retrenchment. there will be no floor, and over time there will be greater and greater variation across the country

The most deeply, horrifyingly depressing thing about this to me... In all likelihood, the administration knew that, and it's *WHY* they blew it up.
Finally, my time to shine has arrived.
10 likes on this post and I will record and upload some guitar playing this weekend. Make it 20 and I'll do some bass too, just to be spicy.
Deeply impressive that I got maybe 3 lines in and was like "I bet they're talking about New Orleans" without even seeing your context that this was from 150 years ago.
Anarchists are the vegans of the Left, change my mind

I seem to have discovered a very funny bug in the Wikipedia app for Android.
Not even 5 minutes later we get a Katamari reference.
You're telling me a raccoon cooked this gnocchi???
Phoenix: "But what if it turns out that Ron Delite isn't really Masque DeMasque after all?" Maya: "Oh, because his wife said he was delusional? Come on, Nick, she's not even that hot!" Phoenix: "And she's fine, she's p- she's prettier than you!" Maya: *mortally wounded*
While we're on the topic, I just want to remind everyone that the blooper reel for the Ace Attorney dub is pure comedy gold. youtu.be/orooK5YCYNw?...
Both of these are from Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, by the way. I was trying to find my photo of Mia Fey in Phoenix Wright: Justice for All saying that another woman's "milkshake brings all the boys to the yard," but sadly I can't find it in my photo gallery.
Still not even my favorite pop culture reference in this game.
Yooooo is that an Evangelion reference in Ace Attorney???
Frankenstein is my favorite story about what can go wrong when you try to make friends.
So new studies showcase that the more you know how GenAi works, the less likely you are to use it! 😌 This reminds me of ai advocates who claim that those who refuse to use GenAi do so because they dont know how it works, yet it’s the opposite! The less you know the more you are likely to use GenAi
If there's a way to opt out of Google AI search, please please please tell me because I would love more than anything to keep AI out of my Google. I already use udm=14 in my Chrome browser, but if I can disable it any further I'd love to.
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
Knowing some of the nurses I know, this does not surprise me.
I don't even like this show but it keeps having such weirdly relevant sketches.

They’re going all in on the bubble bursting on the next lib president so they can repeat the cycle and pillage the country all over again four years later while pinning the blame on us.
Ruin a movie by making it about Gary Big Gary 6
I do think there are BETTER guitarists out there, but Mark Knopfler is probably my favorite.
Well. This is, uh, I guess in line for how dark The Onion can be, but still, oof.
There are enough consequences to go around. Don't worry, you'll face yours soon enough.
and if you don't understand why, take a look at the post Sheryl is quoting here, and understand that the sentiment is growing in their culture it's resentment, it's otherism, it's a desperate need to find someone to blame for all of life's problems. it's not safe to be different in their world.
Happy Labor Day 🙂
And while it may be incorrect, I'm not about to go and tell them they're wrong.
Turns out there is one thing RFK Jr. can do that would redeem him in my eyes.
Moving here was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. I know it's not the experience everyone is looking for, but for me, this is where I want to be, and there are very few places I'd consider moving to from here.
Just realized that I've now lived in Vermont for 8 whole years. I moved here Labor Day weekend of 2017, and it's been my home since then. That's nice to think about.
imagine coming up with the allegory of the cave and all you get for it is some children's clay named after you
he looks so happy
Or, even better, buy the music itself instead of streaming it. Artists get more of the money if you buy it on Bandcamp—they make more on one purchase of a single than on 2 dozen streams the same song. Or buy the record. The artist still makes way more money that way.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

It's been a mostly mediocre round, but I did sink my first ever birdie today! Followed up with a 30 foot, difficult putt to save par on the next hole too!
Please get this crap struck down immediately, any 3rd rooted device or 3rd party OS would end up locked out of accessing age restricted content. Age restrictions should be client side, set by the device owner, not enforced by some stupid centralized crap
Ouch…
And then there's that lost post that really demonstrates the true nature of 4Chan.
Like, there's a screw worm epidemic in Mexico running all the way up to the south west and the USDA just stopped screening programs for it a month ago.
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
nothing like a saturday of labor day weekend newsdump, but no time like the present: I wrote a book, and it’s available for pre-purchase! linktr.ee/artbutmakeit...
I think I slid out a little at the entry to the trail, but not in a way to hurt myself. It was just so steep that my board couldn't hold my weight to the slope.
I've been using this box of salt since I moved in here 3 years ago. It was left by the previous tenant, and it just ran out. There's something momentous about this.
Seriously, I went down that and didn't die or even completely eat shit? DAMN.
Ski season is just around the corner, so I'm just looking at some of the photos I got last season, and... I still can't believe I've progressed to the point that I can snowboard down this without being scared. Even just a few years ago this would have terrified me, but now...just a new challenge.
Gotta say, Turnabout Reformed in Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies is a top tier case. Some of the middle is iffy, but the conclusion is one of the best in the series.
welp, so much for all that. still looks like shit.
I used to listen to this band a ton in high school, apparently they put out a movie???
Yeah, I know metal
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
They should do an Uber but for ice cream
I think that someone is trying to kill me, infecting my mind and destroying my brain
Paradise City, but Sweet Child O' Mine is just so fun to play on guitar.
I will listen to anything she tells me.
Oh god I WISH. I haven't been seriously affected here in Vermont yet, but I know it's just a matter of time.
Subway has to be so happy "sandwich guy" means something else now
Some things manage to still sneak through though.

My tired eyes have cried for days. But you are worth the tears and pain. For just your voice can dry my cheeks. And my heart mends from words you speak.

If Bluesky thinks this is adult content, just wait until they see the same post on Patreon 🙃
Just to remind everyone currently mired in despair- the Florida Detention Camp With The Stupid Fucking Name is shutting down, something people assured me would never happen. IRS and NOAA officials are being hired back. Vought at full-tilt can't raise losses more than a few points above turnover.
You don't say? 🤔
WE ARE 3+ YEARS OUT FROM THE ELECTION. THE TIME FOR PURITY TESTS IS EXACTLY NOW.
A fork and knife, like a civilized person, of course.
I'm gonna go with yes.
Oh no you don’t I took a screenshot for my funny joke
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
Not 100% sure if this is the first Simpsons gag I ever saw (it might be) but it's definitely the first one I remember. Treehouse of Horror IV was so good.
Look, I know it's low-hanging fruit, but

You do realize that you don't have to post EVERY thing you think for people to see online, right?
Seafood...flavored...jello?
High School of the Dead. (More serious answer is Monster. Very atypical of the genre but an incredible story and I kinda want to rewatch it now, same with Cowboy Bebop)
Oh absolutely, there's no WAY this is actually drinkable. I guess I'm more curious about what it would taste like if done right, but I also know that no one with the means to do it right would ever lower themselves enough to make it.
But they NEED to face justice and we need leaders who are actually going to hold the fascist hangers-on to account. And I don't see enough of that leadership where it needs to be right now.
Something that all of Trump's lackeys need to remember is that the bleating crowds follow HIM, not his ideology. Once he's gone (which won't be long, inshallah), that movement collapses, and every single one of the people who propped him up is left without a parachute.
Yeah this is what I wanted. Verbatim. Thank God. Maybe we’re gonna make it.
The entire point of telling people this far out that no, I will never vote for Newsom, is so they can choose someone who doesn't suck. If they go ahead and nominate him anyway, that's not on me (and he's still not getting my vote).
I'll be honest, I don't even drink anymore but I'd still take a shot of this. I bet it tastes terrible, but I'm at least curious what a peanut butter and jalapeño flavored whiskey is like. (But the alcohol snob in me is like "ew, it's FLAVORED instead of distilled in")
Or maybe we all just fucking hate the guy because he cozies up to fascists and because he's willing to sell out trans rights before he's even announced his candidacy? Not everyone you disagree with is a Russian bot. Real people have opinions that matter too.
Oh. This is actually faster than the official world record of 28.92s. Huh. Maybe I need to start trying to compete more seriously on this, I might actually be one of the best in the world at this game?
