i think they’ll get a senate majority to impeach in the lame duck, tillis (who is primarily responsible for getting him confirmed) is openly saying he should be fired

that’s what this ridiculous, insulting, unprofessional farce is about and the people being ordered to attend should be blisteringly furious about being used as props for his future campaign

this is a man who knows he’s getting canned or impeached after the election and who is trying to set up a future political career

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

this is a good base recipe to riff on. I used a whole can of panang curry paste, cracked the coconut cream before adding it, subbed roasted delicata squash and cauliflower for the lentils, and finished with amchur off the heat

like, industrial office? i am not a tradesperson, but i frequently run between the admin or ops office and different facilities on gravel paths

they’ve got some decent ones and i might do that, though a bunch are the soles that are sneaker-style and hard to replace (which is the problem i have now). thanks for the suggestion, though, it’s a good one

040

priors: i work an industrial facility, don’t need steel toe, but definitely need durability. i am on my feet 90% of every work day. ideally, i want something i can replace the sole on so that i never have to decide on this again. ideally, also something that works with office wear.

okay red wings nuts, i am gonna probably have to retire my long-serving timberland work boots in the next year, the soles aren’t replaceable, i don’t think. what are your recommendations (i know you are out there)

you’re in for a treat, for my money, one of the best games ever made, and while that’s a bold statement, it’s not really a controversial one. depends a lot on what kinds of games you like, i guess

on the other hand, i have never had to tell a humanities grad not to call someone stupid in a training class

like, they’re definitely stereotypes and it’s unfair to think of everyone in either field this way, but each one very definitely makes a long lasting impression on you

i feel like a lot of this stems (rimshot) from the fact that everyone has encountered and had to work with a stereotypical engineer and a stereotypical humanities grad

the annoying thing is that it’s basically never been cheaper to spin up homespun alternatives that are significantly better for productivity and significantly more secure but governments and taxpayers are allergic to tech salaries

even less scary shit than that, a lot of the applications municipal and government infrastructure use are basically hanging out the HAXXORS WELCOME HERE sign already and someone’s gonna start taking them up on it
