Can’t replace a leader of the free world but if we try hard enough we might be able to reconstruct one in aggregate

"Listen up, leg. I've been sending you rich, oxygenated blood for years, while you send me worthless used-up blood with no oxygen. Time to teach you a lesson about not ripping me off!"

People were upset about a novel virus, the death and suffering it caused, and the social disruption to avoid more death and suffering. But getting mad at a virus isn’t emotionally satisfying. So find a person to blame, ideally someone you already hate. They victimized you! Yeah, that’s the stuff.

For anyone keeping score, the outcome of putting up all the cash in advance for a bridge owned equally by both sides is that the US will turn around and extort you for more money. Through this lens, there is no fucking way we should be buying the F-35 from these crooks.

Once, technology solved problems. People liked having problems solved, so they liked technology. Tech execs started to think of that sentiment as their due. So when they stopped solving problems, and people stopped liking them, they became outraged. "How dare you not love whatever we give you?"

For any baseball fan that is looking to understand this whole curling rock touching fiasco, here is your comparison. It's a balk. It's not cheating. It's a minor violation that is fairly uncommon, has little effect on play and is not well understood even by those that play the game. #curling #🥌👈

I love the weird disjointed corporate strategy of Japanese sporting goods companies: Shimano - bicycle components and... fishing tackle. Yonex - tennis and.... snowboards.

Earlier this year, I re-read the @scalzi.com "Old Man's War" series in prep for "The Shattering Peace". I'm doing the same for @cstross.bsky.social and "The Laundry Files" in prep for "The Regicide Report" but, man, "Quantum of Nightmares" is hitting a little too hard given, you know, everything.

Somewhere out there is an alternate universe in which Gore beat Bush and MySpace beat Facebook and Nuzzi didn't release a book of Vogon poetry-level prose. It's lovely and those blissfully ignorant people have no idea what fate they dodged.

Someday anthropologists may study this in the same way that we question the logic of pulling down trees to build bigger and bigger maoi statues at Easter island.

Half my neighbors want cops to arrest 10yo kids for riding ebikes. Local stores and restaurants allow max of two teenagers in the store at once. Kids played Pokemon Go outdoors and people reacted like it was the end times. We took everywhere away from them. Of course they’re on their phones.
