"The biases of Supreme Court justices are clear. The farce of impartiality ended decades ago. And now, the consequences of this 6-3 right-wing Supreme Court have already been profoundly felt."

Alito's Extremist Flags Are Just The Tip Of The Radical SCOTUS Iceberg
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's homes flew two flags associated with January 6. One of them symbolizes Christian Nationalism. This is a microcosm of the right-wing radicalism in this 6-3 SCOTUS.
www.ahmedbaba.newsI might have a problem, as I do yell that at any Tesla model I see while I'm out driving. With the windows rolled up.
Is there a non-nefarious mobile app that can be used to track the number of unique units of a thing? With two variables (a code and colour)? I'd like something that lets me know of double entries and keeps a tally. An open note file with a long, one column list, is getting unwieldy.
Brings to mind the sinking of the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior by the French gov, because someone at the top believed Greenpeace was a KGB front.
Uh, I swear I didn't recently watch a documentary on that incident. Just random history knowledge I happen to know.
Is it an Alice through the Looking Glass moment for them?
Thank you for the recommendation!
Hopefully you don't listen to everything at 2x speed. 😬
I sometimes attempt to look like I know what I'm doing in the produce section by tapping a knuckle on a melon while holding it close to my ear, but that's all I got.
I'll get around to "officially" announcing it. Eventually. Once I settle in. And fix the walls. And then paint a bit more.
An illustrative anecdote of my marketing instinct as an artist:
Group of my friends: Oh, so you've moved into a new art studio? Why didn't you announce it?
Me: ...but then random people might show up, wanting to look around...
GoMF: THAT'S THE POINT! DO IT!
It's those "mostly melon" fruit salads from my childhood that put me off any sort of melon for decades.
The coordinated eyewear reminds me of this politically-on-the-right guy I know in Finland who doesn't need prescription glasses, but wears the frames to "look intellectual" when he feels it would be to his advantage. Same vibe from these two, but with Reich flavour.
I loved that show as a kid. I bought some of the books featured on that show (that I could remember vividly) for my own kids.
I hope the kids have access to good therapy when they're older.
I highly recommend visiting the Liminganlahden bird tower - obviously, all the birds, but there's also lively fish action.
We couldn't see all the birds clearly (insufficient binoculars), but we watched a massive pike devour a silvery roach... slowly.
Me: Oh, that was so nice of that other artist to compliment my work. I wasn't expecting her to know who I am.
Hus: Of course she did. You're a great artist.
Me: If I am, why is it so hard to get commissions and sell my paintings?
Hus: They're all waiting for you to die first.
What is this trend with battleship grey on new cars. It reminds me of everything that is ugly on the internet.
I'd love to quit IG and my artist FB page, both of which seem to have negligible impact on my professional "reach" (I suspect it's all due to shitty overriding algorithm decisions) but I don't know where else to prove my work exists.
I see it as related to the campaigns to cut or remove the arts from education and undermine all artists with the introduction of AI - if the people in the political class aren't good at or understand something, they dismiss it as worthless.
... it turns out your right hand put the key in your jacket pocket for safekeeping but didn't bother to tell your brain.
That thing where you take out your house key, but see some creeping weeds you must pull before going in the house, and then when you're satisfied the weeds have been vanquished your key isn't in your bag and for over a minute you have a rising panic that you've locked yourself out...
Oh, that's what that means? I was starting to wonder if I had been pre-emptively blocked by random people (that I wouldn't want to interact with anyway).
Blue Missions across the Nordic countries?
Fast forward to a year from now. The Blue Man Group is now a religion. Cash flow is up because we no longer pay taxes. Millions have converted. We have annexed New Hampshire
If I wasn't in the wrong country, I'd do it, just based off your books that my kid loved to read. And I like to learn about birds (and watch birds).
I've favouriting this just for the "chew toying". It is the perfect description of said interaction.
Is there going to be an update episode of IBCK on this?

Must include the dude who has "IQ 200" as the vanity plate on his big 'ol Audi 'round here.
The 13YO got a small, plastic, manually-powered fan from Flying Tiger yesterday, and since then, there's been a noise that sounds like a cat, trapped behind a closed door, is madly scratching to be let out.
I give it another 24h before someone loses their shit over that noise or the gadget breaks.

For decades I never liked eating melon because I associated it with the cheap fruit salad in NYC, which was 90% melon.
I told this to a friend from London, and she said that for her, cheap fruit salad was 90% apple, and was why she disliked apples for years.
My brain, taking the phrase "the wee hours of the morning" too literally.
I dreamt that I had to defend myself from an obnoxious asshole by kicking him in the crotch, only to wake up trying to kick my husband. (He didn't wake up.)
This does not help alleviate my paranoia about the looking-for-a-toilet-as-I-desperately-have-to-pee dreams.
There are too many war-thirsty assholes with money who are allowed to profit from the death of others.

‘I’m the new Oppenheimer!’: my soul-destroying day at Palantir’s first-ever AI warfare conference
America’s military-industrial complex took center stage at AI Expo for National Competitiveness, where a fire-breathing panel set the tone
www.theguardian.comWe have a grey cat that always looks like she's extremely disappointed by your life choices or is regretting her own. For years I thought she needed a cat buddy (because our other cat at the time wasn't friendly) and that is how we ended up with four cats who barely tolerate each other.
When I had the overwhelming impulse to kick car bumpers while walking across crosswalks, I knew it was time to move out of NYC.
my other favorite thing about Ishmael is how he begins like, “so you know how sometimes you’re walking around town and you’re like, ‘oh, wow, I want to punch literally everyone in the face,’ and that’s how you know it’s time to be on a boat? you know, that totally universal human experience?”
It's only one slightly elongated vowel between "I meet" vs "I kill" in Finnish (tapaan vs tapan). It's no wonder there's meters of personal space in Finland.
Like circling sharks, the listeners were waiting for you to dip your toes into those waters.
It's "free bucket promotional bucket" day at a local grocery store, and I dunno how I feel about obviously construction worker guys grabbing two buckets...
I'm gonna fire up the ol' Jeeves & Wooster lexicon for when my kids have friends over, or I have to go to their school for an event.
I'm raising a 6th grader. It doesn't matter what slang is current, I am not allowed to say any of it or I'm an instant loser. But if I use Gen X slang then I am also a loser. May revert to 1920's slang and see what happens.
