Getting my M.Div in Food Science, thesis on the "Transubstantiation of Mountain Dew and Higher Orders of Caffeine Chain of Being." Will cop to knowing cop stuff. Better to be remembered as a sharp lover of sandwiches than a slick merchant of hate.

When you're drinking a Ghost Town Hazy IPA at a Tenderloin bar, you're sort of in spirit doing Oaktoberfest _and_ Fleet Week, in the comfort of room temperature.

Got some spam text telling me how various wealth protection interests, like Stanford are against the proposed California wealth tax, and asked for my allegiance. Awkward URL but I'll definitely be voting yes on the wealth tax prop at Noon 40, presumably with a bunch of other incensed Californians.

Wonder if there's yet been a TTRPG Kickstarter whose updates (the genre largely being a plea of extenuating circumstances and lessons learned) to backers ultimately rival the word count of the actual backed project.

In the Right Wing world, the danger to women and children comes from strange brown bogeymen jumping out of the shadows and not from loved ones, trusted elders, and caregivers. They tell us to worry about the alley and not the altar, the bushes and not the boss’s office.

Hegseth forgot the part of the Sermon on the Mount where Christ differentiates between the christian virtue of turning the other cheek and the Hegsethian bloviation of full on showing ass. TBF Hegseth does clings to being a victim of Princeton's diluted core texts of western civ curriculum.

It could be because I'm in the geography, it just happened, so I've seen my umpteenth slideshow from Folsom Street, but to my ear Buck Mason sounds like a nom de Fair used by a guy who may make conventionally clothes that are good looking in the mudane, but can also make _anything_ look good.

No one reviewing the field naming rights at Cal Memorial Stadium had the opposition research wherewithal to, despite the faculty/alumni tech spinoff legacy donor cultivation circle jerk thing, to say, "But like shit-a-bricks field, tho? People are going to use that, and it will breach containment."

True, the smart and successful candidate chews some energy gummies, the one I know about provides the caffeine of a cup of coffee via two, an energy drink in three. This also reads like Kai is trying to curb his own caff habit and the presence of the candidate's beb triggered withdrawal fits.

Photo taken during the final frames of Transformers the Movie in a mostly empty theater. Unicrons head float in orbit around I think it's Cybertron, though looks more mountainous than the Cybertron I remember from the G1 cartoon, but of course Unicron did week some planet in that final battle so maybe it's just aftermath Cybertron.

Fair, Whalebook. That's fair.
An instance of @midnightplat.bsky.social's timeline consisting of their post, "Ah well, intent to get a little outdoor cardio rebuffed by the Angel Island controlled/prescribed burn. No real haze but the air inflicted what I'd call a "cigar smoking chest grip" just walking from front door to car, which is in front of the house. Pizza and beer indoors it is, then." followed as if in response a post by @mobydickatsea.bsky.social reading "he seemed ready to sacrifice all mortal interests to that one passion."

Interesting, at least from this snippet, that while Edgerunners S1 I think captured Cyberpunk 2077's dynamics, this moment here from S2 seems much more in line with the structure of gameplay in the Cyberpunk RED ttrpg. cw: Edgerunner ultraviolent scene punctuation. youtu.be/IDxFrIfaUbE?...

When the Cincinnati Post shut down, it oddly had an effect on local elections. Fewer people ran for office, voter turnout fell, and incumbents became more likely to win. That's useful context for Trump's choice to ban 3 news orgs from the White House newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/what-econo...

New York Times U.N. General Assembly coverage reads strange. I don't recall it writing explainers on what UNGA is, nor do I recall extensive articles on traffic disruption. Has that always been the case? Or is this like some editorial writing on the wall reading and going preemptively parochial?

I'm presently reading, "How to Survive Authoritarianism: A Russian's Phrasebook for Everyday Life in America." It's basically a 200 page glossary explaining shorthand terms for ideas or practices in an authoritarian regime, comparing both Soviet and Putin Era Russia to the present day United States.

What can I say, I was a Force Five kid, though Starblazers and Battle of the Planets came first. To appease purists I didn't include Macross cuz for me that was Robotech. Surprised they never did more Area 88 adaptations than what we got. Repost since original link is sorta wonky to get to img.

Wish YouTube film content farmers understood that something that was written up in a script draft or even drawn as a storyboard that didn't get shot for the film is not a "deleted scene." There's no such thing as a screenwriter's cut or a concept artist's edit. Put your silly AI "restorations" away.
