Oh you absolutely need to replace the gnome cartridge, my dad would always freak out if we didn’t. That’s like day 1 of dishwasher school.

If anyone likes music theory, Adam Neely, Nahre Sol, Charles Cornel, and Open Studio Jazz are all amazing.

I really would love to hear what a non musician thinks about them too. I bet maths heads would love it.

Brian Klass is a political scientist who recently put out his own philosophy of chaos theory. I think it’s a pretty useful tool to look at contemporary movements and really refutes the “it couldn’t possibly happen here” message.

Pre-2011 there was a paper published on why middle eastern dictatorships were so stable. The next year almost all of them fell. Klass argues that the author wasn’t wrong, they just were working with the rules and tools we knew at the time, but didn’t know the rules had changed with the invention of social media.

In his perspective, the idea of a “fluke” is not a fluke at all, it’s a data point showing that things are changing and changing fast. Things just feel like flukes when our assumptions of the way things work become outdated.

More like “I already am, but now I won’t have to pretend as much”

I think this might be to make sure the defacto castration of the courts is now written into law

When I say “not my president”, it’s not me refusing to acknowledge Trump’s authority/ being a sovereign citizen. It’s me saying he is acting in a deliberately antagonist way. He sees us as the enemy. He isn’t leading, in fact he’s doing the opposite.

Here’s what’s supposed to be normal: even if you don’t vote for someone in office, you are still their responsibility. JB Pritzker still has a responsibility to protect Republicans in Illinois. Greg Abbott still has the responsibility to protect democrats in Texas.

Hey! Vsauce, Michael here. Did you know I can kick your ass? But what does it mean to kick? And what is an ass? Turns out, kicking means fucking and ass means your mom.

20 if I showered, 3 if I didn’t

At the end of the day it all comes down to the role of the dice.

It’s not a contest. Look at the contouring, elegant. Look at the polish, shining as bright as Versailles. The tong length has the perfection of a Swiss watch.

Then the functionality- the flared handle provides the user with the comfort usually reserved for oil barons in hospice. The longer tongs serve as an homage to the engineers who brought humanity to the moon.

Every other fork is merely a blight on the earth in comparison to this Adonis of cutlerian perfection.

I mean I’ve been told this is the year to fudge on your taxes since the IRS is fucked so I mean maybe there’s some silver lining. Frankly Elon isn’t as bad as- hold on someone’s knocking on my door, I’ll be back in a bit.

Welcome to American politics, when the 2028 election begins in 2024 and the 2028 primary began in 2020.

I’m so tired.

Sadly I think he’s going to be a martyr like Alexi Navalny. The 1% is patient, and they know they can distract us and grind us down. We can raise hell for a moment, but they know our weakness is our stomaches.

My hope is that more “quiet Democrats” get primary’d. Usually they would say “don’t primary me, you’ll risk losing us to the Republican candidate in the general and we have a moderate agenda that’s the lesser evil”.

Right now they don’t have an agenda at all, no rudder, no direction. This is the time to primary tf out of the old Dems.

I’m going too! Making some puppets to hold signs with in support of PBS funding and unions. I recently learned how to work with felt and want to use my new skill for good.

I’m thinking signs could be:

“Have you learned NOTHING from sesame Street?”

“This is not very Mr. Rogers of you Donald”

“That’s not how we treat our neighbors” with a cutout of Mr. Rogers

“Even puppets can recognize that clown”

any additional ideas welcome!

Bananamon!

Also didn’t the Supreme Court just rule that you can’t charge the president for crimes made in their official capacity? He can just say it was in his official capacity to ignore the orders so tough titties.

Ai is getting so much better, but I can still tell this is AI but now I’m not sure why. Something’s off and I can’t quite put my finger on it.
