Stochastic terrorism, right there; calling for his followers to attack people. Louder for the ones in back; "The people worse off than you aren't the ones keeping you down.".

Outsourcing your hobby or pasttime is the ultimate sad person behavior. That's a level of depression I can't comprehend. You can't find joy in any damn thing at that point.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

TIL... Scouting as I knew it barely exists anymore, and except for the ugly parts (superstition, jingoism, blind reverence & obedience) that I thought it got rid of by the 90s, conservatives think the rest of the oath is 'woke'. 1/2

Dolly Parton's passing is effortlessly proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, because there will be no cheering.

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

Over the weekend I wandered through a vintage clothing street fair and realized there will be no future vintage from the last decade or two; not just from it having little originality, but from the quality having gotten so bad that it just won't hold together for twenty years even in a closet.

Nearby, someone is starting their motorcycling season too early. I know how this goes because I've been them before. It's still cold. You didn't replace filters. Cheap gas because the good stuff is expensive is also a factor. For the love of quiet wait another month, do some maintenance, OR BOTH.

One of my favorite books, "Little, Big" by John Crowley, has the foundational principles that the further in you go the bigger everything gets, and perhaps even more importantly, that where you arrive depends on how you get there. It also takes place around and in NYC, so there's that too.

"When I worked at a bookstore, I learned that when an author like Dean Koontz signs his books, their resale value goes up.
I also learned that when an author like Stephen King signs Dean Koontz's books, the price goes even higher and that Dean Koontz is not amused by this."
