Are those the facebook raybans?

the key takeaway here is that yankees who aren't really paying attention will reject a paper thin justification as soon as they run up to the slightest friction

Foreigners out we don't want you here!

That's OK, didn't really want to come anyway.

Wait... what?

It's oddly aggravating how bad the US companies have become at being capitalists. Like, you wanna keep the wheels turning on this thing, merely for your own self interest, right? No? More short term gains at the expense of your own long term security and base of power? OK, if you say so.

On the popsicle website,

Wait this is real? What the hell happened, I feel like not that long ago this was the kind of thing advertising departments would nix for sending the wrong "brand values".

There's something really offputting about jamming these political officials into "children's" books, regardless of if it's Kash Patel or Hillary Clinton. These are not for children, any child who does end up reading this is a byproduct of the adult who actually wants to read this. The reductive take is that this is just where American reading comprehension is at. But. These things apparently sell enough for publishers to keep approving them... so maybe the reductive take isn't all that reductive????

So good at delaying procedures until it is more politically convenient, McConnell is doing it from beyond the veil.

The beginning of Felix Trap House's Bloodborn podcast kinda felt like I was listening to a Cushvlog again.

unlikely?

You scraped our scrapers! For shame!

Humanity is a sort of social, hive building mammal. Where an ant colony might accomplish this through pheromones and simple, instinctual responses; we make do by having an understanding of the world we live in, learning new behaviors, and - rather critically - communicating those understandings and behaviors to one another. And in the same way you can ignore the individual ants and treat the colony as a single emergent swarm organism, you can do the same to the cities people build.

It wasn’t a city, it was a process, a weight on the world that distorted the land for hundreds of miles around. People who’d never see it in their whole life nevertheless spent that life working for it. Thousands and thousands of green acres were part of it, forests were part of it. It drew in and consumed… …and gave back the dung from its pens, and the soot from its chimneys, and steel, and saucepans, and all the tools by which its food was made.

Different languages can carry different understandings and behaviors from generation to generation... but when you get down to it, one city's material interaction with the world, other cities, and the ecosystem are all broadly the same as any other city.

And now the cites are so industrialized, big, and bright that quite a lot of us have never seen the night sky.
