“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Damn. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

In the grocery store asking the eggs why they aren’t cheaper after the president’s executive order on lowering costs. They aren’t answering. Typical.

Push back against the TikTok conspiracy theories. This was not the federal government upset they couldn’t control it. It was not them trying to stop people from communicating or sharing news. It was a national security threat. Full stop.

I see people musing that the vibe here has changed, and I would urge people to remember that there's a lot of anxiety about the change of administration in two weeks and that's going to leak into a lot of other places in one's life. Be as gracious as you can with yourself and others.

I have never seen players with as many helmet stickers as Mt. Union. The only logical conclusion is that these are the best football players on earth.

Three players for Mt. Union, whose purple helmets are covered in hundreds of tiny white skull and crossbone stickers. One player’s helmet is only half-covered, the other two are totally full, probably because they are much better at football

My posts are far too good to receive so little engagement. I’m not sure if it’s the fault of Blue Sky, all of Blue Sky’s users, the deep state, or something else. But I’m for damn sure it isn’t my fault.

The real controversy over #Billboard releasing its list of the 25 greatest pop stars of the 21st century isn’t Taylor being second. It’s Alicia Keys not making the list proper and being just an honorable mention. #TaylorSky

If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments. The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc. Jump back into it.

It’s important to remember what constitutes “fighting” though. Yes, show up to protest, write your representatives, and take other action. But turn off the news and block the trolls when it gets too hard and you need to care for yourself. You don’t change anything with self flagellation.

I consider myself pretty market-oriented when considering solutions to policy problems, but I don’t know how any honest observer can look at the state of American wealth inequality and think “this is fine.”

IU’s loss to ND showed they didn’t deserve to be in the playoff because it confirmed existing data: IU was incapable of beating high-tier opponents. Oregon’s loss didn’t do that. Oregon beat everyone they played, including Ohio State if I’m not mistaken. I rate this take a 3/10.

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department
