25 years ago today, the U.S. went to war in Afghanistan. I was 12 At 22, I fought in the same war At 32, the Taliban, who we overthrew in 2001, came back in to power, starting a refugee crisis that has defined the last 5 years of my life. 25 years later, what have we learned?

If instead of envisioning a secular rapture, you just begin with the basic assumption that people are born free and work out all the ways we can be free together from there, you’ll very naturally arrive at stunningly elegant solutions like “trans rights” and “freedom of movement.”

That time I put almost all the chipmunk species in the western USA on one map. Did you know there’s 1 species of chipmunk in Asia, 1 in eastern USA & >20 in western USA? (I’m not the crazy one here. The chipmunks are the crazy ones.)

He bought real estate and vehicles in Florida to do this - isn't the CIA not allowed to operate on American soil? To avoid the old MKULTRA nonsense? Or am I misremembering?

And Dred Scott was overruled by the 13th and 14th amendments. If political disfunction makes it impossible to amend the constitution, that is our fault as citizens and no "the supreme court can't do shit" legislation will paper over.

Do you want Congress to be able to say that birthright citizenship doesn't exist, on a bare majority? I get the frustration iwth the current court, but past Congresses absolutely have decided to just ignore the Constitution.

The same way the rest of us did, unfortunately. If you don't have privilege from generations back, you unfortunately have to work hard and achieve. Being a waiter and a mediocre basketball player at nearly 30 isn't going to take anybody very far.

Look up Blood Bowl, especially if you're into creative hobbies. (I thought "Fantasy Football" in mainstream settings was referring to Blood Bowl for years before I found out the disappointing truth.)

I snuck into a nightclub every Wednesday for a year for the piano bar. They assumed I was 21 because holy shit I always look rough. On my birthday when I went the bouncer waved me through…but I insisted he actually look at my ID. He was not amused. Then he was amused.

this is about me and i'm not sorry! i don't have time
to autistically read forums and random team news
or whatever.
i'm sure spending hours and hours running your
fantasy team is a good ROI if you're unemployed but
some of us have jobs
also my team is stacked so that's another point in

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

50-80k words is a novel (though that's creeping upward) and I figure most likes of code would be a short sentence at least, maybe a long sentence. Impossible task to figure out all of it quickly.

It's National Fire Prevention Week.

Prevent fires deliciously and charge your ebike battery safely. Never charge the battery while you're sleeping or not home.
