I wish you were wrong.

I guess I can pray for balkanization and that our further allies take pity on whatever Blue City State I end up being a member of.

I guess eradicating a current fuhrer is Too Soon for sympathizers. It they have something to gain from a shit stain being in control for a bit before it circles the bowl enough times to finally disappear.

What’s the Pee Tape!? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steele_dossier#Kompromat_and_blackmail:_Trump

I found one of those in the back of a taxi before my first smartphone.

I read through the guys messages and decided he was an abusive asshat. Kept it, wiped it, used it as an mp3 player until the screen cracked in my back pocket.

To this day I cringe whenever I see someone keeping their phone in a back pocket.

It still blows my mind how fast my friends and I were able to text on feature phones with T9.

I wonder if the suggestions ended up shaping our language patterns.

Famous Alligator Cloaca is going to be the name of my next experimental noise project.

It’s that what happened when a popular post that was ‘blowing up’ on Reddit went from 500 updoots on the front page to mediocre front-page posts regularly getting 3-4k updoots seemingly over night?

I was there, I remember the change, I can’t remember why it happened.

‘Pink triangle on her sleeve, let me know the truth, let me know the truth…’

Honest question: is there any other state/region in the world where a cult has unbridled power?

Utah boggles my mind.

‘If I’m elected, there’ll be 50 percent less Lego blocks on the floor. That’s more than half we have to deal with these days. I know a guy, a real smart guy, that knows how, and I’ve seen it, to melt Lego bricks. He’ll eradicate these bothersome Lego bricks so we don’t have to tip toe around them any more.’

From the Mitten to the Mississippi, we will always be free!

I would be down with a Northern Confederation. I’d miss New Orleans, but that’s about it.

Common misconception! There are rules when it comes to making bourbon, but location isn’t one of them. Check out Koval bourbon from Illinois, and I’m sure there’s plenty of good stuff coming out of Oregon and California.

Edit: It does have to be made in the US, not a specific state or county.

On top of the purchase price, I’m guessing that having something like this running in your home fab will require more safety equipment than a uv shroud and an air mover to keep things safe/non-deadly.

My mother was always bitter that an anniversary ring my father gave her turned out to be synthetic, but I think back in the 80s lab grown diamonds went cloudy after a while.

She could also have been complaining about anything and Everything my father had done 24/7 once the separation and inevitable divorce were in effect.

Name brand laundry detergent has a decent resale price on the street. Tide was the first thing I noticed getting locked up at Family Dollar back in the 10s.

The sad fact is that I will follow the writers and creatives where they migrate to. William Gibson moved to Bluesky so did I.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

I’d wager that teenagers these day are much more aware of data collection and more protective of personal information then they were 10-20 years ago. I could be giving them too much credit, though.

Whenever I see one of these polls being published I imagine how I would have answered them when I was that age, and I would have lied about every negative seeming question.

What if the poll wasn’t really anonymous and this data was going to be passed on to future employers or schools?
