These are not serious wrenches
Photo of wrenches hanging, two of them have an s-curve. unlike usual wrenches these look like they are ready for goofy to use them to repair something in toon town only to find they’re too floppy, probably in the background of a scene in “who framed Roger Rabbit.”

I’ve written this up here. In addition to there not being a Covid-scale drop in tourism recently, you might also be wondering why visits from Mexico seem to double around 2004-05. The answer is not a sudden shift in Mexican preferences but rather our old friend, There Was A Change In The Measure.

Seeing things about a bot passing a visual Turing test at an xx% rate and realizing I’ve never read what warrants a pass and who decides. Shrimp Jesus had a high pass rate on FB among certain demographics, does that count?

~Approximately no one in the general public knows because the leaders of the R1 research universities - whose budgets, programs, & personnel are entirely or significantly dependent on federal funding - have been totally absent from the public square in explaining & collectively protesting this.

I am not a fan of heights and it made me very uncomfortable even though the basket was deeper than I thought it would be, I think maybe being open to the air was more freaky than being in a small glider or plane

Holy fuck. SCOTUS overturned the circuit court ruling, sending Christa Pike to her death, and then the state of Tennessee botched the execution and she’s still alive. There are no fucking words.

After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution
SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

This seemed like baby logic when I started college 25 years ago and my take has not grown more nuanced since. All the positives are done by other campus groups without all the negatives, it’s already been tested for decades.
