Welp. I didn’t have any pre-sale codes that Ticketmaster sells to sponsors so I had to wait until general availability, and this is what I can get now. Still, I saw him at the Anthem the last time he played and got super awesome seats for less than $100.

Dude, Jack White tickets in DC going for $200+ for general admission. F that. I’ve seen him twice, that’s probably enough. Also, daughter wanted Olivia Rodrigo tickets - went to buy online and I was 88,xxx th in the queue for a ~8k seat venue. AI Agents much?

They are likely to try to strike down any expansion of Obamacare, statehood for Puerto Rico and DC, anti-corruption bills to enforce the emoluments clause. Going forward, it is smart to assume that any bill that doesn't pass with Republican votes will be a Supreme Court target.

I'll restate my oft-stated position that democratic self-government in the United States is not possible unless this Court and its manifest corruption are thoroughly reformed. civic democracy or this corrupt court. can only have one.

I have never once seen a cybertruck with the bed open and stuff in it doing truck things. I mean, I get that most F150s are the same, but I have actually seen those with at least bikes in the truck bed, or firewood or something.

A retiree delivering DoorDash to the White House to pay for their spouses cancer would be a national embarrassment in a sane world instead of an opportunity to celebrate “no taxes on tips”

Same, but of that 25%, I am curious about their economic… gah, how much money they have. Anywhere from +20k and lower relative to the official poverty level is focused on housing, food and health, not reading a book. I feel like the issue is poverty.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

Sigh. How about neither. There’s not only zero evidence of UFOs but there’s also no evidence for gods and demons. Can’t believe what’s happening to the USA. It’s actively bad for humanity and it’s embarrassing for both.

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)
