I was 4 years old, in the back of my family's Ford Country Squire wagon with the wood tone paneling, at the drive-in. The poison apple in Snow White was too scary for me.

I wrote about the most recent HHS study, and I wanted to draw attention to something I did a little differently than some of the other people writing about these things: I tried to lay out as clearly as possible how the study was done and what it claimed to be trying to accomplish.

I always see this "Move Free" supplement while shopping at Costco, and I'm transported back to my mom's kitchen in 1970 before my uncle in the Air Force brought us a real rice cooker from Okinawa.

We have been joking around my family for years that "Vegas Golden Knights" sounds like a brand of condoms. I can't figure out whether the joke needs to change now that they have been decisively shut out by Bussi.

After a 7 mile city hike this morning, I found a great spot to re-read a few sections of "Attensity" this morning.

EU’s Top Court Just Made It Literally Impossible To Run A User-Generated Content Platform Legally
The Court of Justice of the EU—likely without realizing it—just completely shit the bed and made it effectively impossible to run any website in the entirety of the EU that hosts user-generated content. Obviously, for decades now, we’ve been talking about issues related to intermediary liability, and what standards are appropriate there. I am an unabashed supporter of the US’s approach with Section 230, as it was initially interpreted, which said that any liability should land on the party who contributed the actual violative behavior—in nearly all cases…

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

Congrats to the class of '77. I was a hopeless Red Sox fan starting with their playoff run in '75, and remember the Blue Jays and Mariners showing up in the league together. Now "the new kids" will battle for a spot in the World Series.

E-bikes are an absolute game-changer in terms of giving more people the option of going car-light or car-free, but adoption is threatened by the ongoing moral panic. As the article notes, the solution is not restrictions on e-bikes, but creating more infrastructure to support e-bike riders. 1/2

In the early 20th century, anti-tax GOPers tried to appease progressive Republicans by passing a corporate income tax, incorrectly predicting it would be so unpopular as to quell the growing income tax movement. This wasn’t their last miscalculation. By @jeisinger.bsky.social

No, President Trump, the Income Tax Wasn’t A Mistake. But It Was an Accident.
While instituting the largest tariff increase in modern history, Trump claimed that the income tax was passed for “reasons unknown to mankind” and caused the Great Depression.Here’s the real history.
