You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

you just know that posting "i'm just trying to start a polite conversation about who deserves human rights" will not be marked 'toxic,' but anyone responding 'hey fuck off with that' will earn +5 toxic points

these Young Male Christians should form some sort of Association, then they could offer services beyond gymnasiums and shower facilities, such as short-term lodging at which it might be fun to stay

I am so sick of being lied to every second of my life. I am so sick of watching human bodies being tossed into the fucking trash. And with glee. They're so excited about causing pain. How does a person like that live? I know I've asked that before but no one has given me a solid answer.
There are more of us than there are of them
Something I hear a lot is that they're doing so much all at once because the goal is to overwhelm us and I have good and bad news for the people saying that because it is 100% working. I am in fact overwhelmed. I imagine you are too. Vacillating between a state of shock and impotence and confusion.

There are so many more of us than there are of them. That has to be worth something. That's worth something right? You would think someone could do something with that fact.

I'm not doing particularly well myself since you asked. Physically or mentally. I understand that the smug shit-eating childishness of this version of fascism – a child who can nevertheless do grave harm – is part of the whole deal. Its intent being to frustrate and demoralize us into despondence and ultimately acceptance. And it's working. What does a person do? I know I've asked that before but no one has given me a solid answer.

How do those sea worms and all those guys survive in the thermal ocean vents? It would be easier to answer that. I couldn’t but at least someone could. 

I've spent all week shoveling snow and last night was the worst of it yet this season. Six plus inches of the kind of wet slush you could break your back on. One single shovel-full. And this morning it had all turned to ice. A slick black frozen pond as far as the eye could see. I really don't want to do it but I'm going to go out and contend with that now. No one else is going to. Well my wife might but you know what I mean. You get the analogy here.

“You have to give up your privacy & anonymity online because there’s just nothing we can do about the open web getting bait-and-switched into an unregulated global social experiment that gamifies the worst behaviors of humanity for the profit of two billionaire freaks” is just not a great pitch.

It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that
almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of
being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered
dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-
extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive

the Labour Party under Starmer will abandon its core idealism & principles and it won't even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and no one will, in fact, vote for it.

Great that the Strait of Hormuz has reopened but I worry that, with all this news coverage, it'll become too commercialised now. Hard to see it recreating the amazing nights that those of us who were there in the early days had.

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them
