Appreciate the sentiment, but the internet is Where Things Are. Obviously, including this article. I think *engaging* less is where it’s at. Like the radical blocking practiced here. Training your mind to be less reactionary to what it sees online. Accepting that It Isn’t Everything.

It’s actually even worse than that - the LAFD budget is only 1/3 of the LAPD’s. LAFD and the county FD have to fundraise for supplies while the LAPD collects millions in overtime. Inmate firefighters, until recently, were not able to be hired as firefighters once released.

The six year old likes football so we watch football now which is weird for me since I’m a month away from 40 and probably watched fewer than ten whole football games in my life. Anyway, Go Ravens!

I’ve been playing Stardew in downtime this winter break because the break is long and all my other games stress me out. Observations: 1) I can let this game stress me out too, but I won’t 2) Its hard not to chase money and “just enjoy the simple things.” Thickly ironic. 3) Still chill

Notably the memory of that collective action is being kettled towards mask mandates and school lockdowns rather than, say, cutting child poverty in half, ceasing all evictions and student debt payments, and a mass uprising against racist police violence

Drinking Prisoner out of respect for the host, but let me be clear in this safe space: it’s a terrible wine. Lots of Barolo, Bordeaux is the same price or cheaper, and tastier by a mile.

Our Thai place had an evening like that one episode of The Bear, apparently. Too many tickets. Our order got lost. I’m not terribly mad. Hungry a bit, but they’re in worse shape than I am. I’ve got wine and snacks. Thinking about whether shrugging this off means I’m in the minority

Solar is about 40% of CAISO's (California) electricity at 9 in the morning of December 1, 2024. Gas is about 23%. Solar is generating more electricity than gas in both Texas & California this December morning. Few, if anyone, thought that would happen 5 years ago. www.caiso.com/todays-outlo...

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.
