This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.

“I’ve had a bit of cocaine” is such a funny line. Beautifully written and expertly delivered. I saw the outrage when #RideOrDie got canceled after one season, so I’ve started watching it, and the outrage is well deserved. What a treat this show is.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

Over the last few months, CVS has introduced this thing where instead of talking to the tech, the tech taps a tablet and tells you to put your name and date of birth into it. I assume it’s to expedite things, make you feel like your wait is shorter, and protect your privacy. But I fucking hate it.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

It's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.

A year ago, regular gas in Indianapolis was averaging $3.1062 a gallon. Now it’s at $3.5660 a gallon* WITHOUT the $0.60 per gallon gas taxes, which were included a year ago. So we’re really comparing $3.11 a year ago to $4.16 right now. ____________ Source: gasprices.aaa.com?state=IN

A screenshot from gas prices.aaa.com that shows Regular Gas in Indianapolis averaged:

$3.5660 current (60¢ gas tax holiday)
$3.5447 yesterday (60¢ gas tax holiday)
$3.4079 a week ago (60¢ gas tax holiday)
$3.6439 a month ago (60¢ gas tax holiday)

I spent this morning mapping invisible labor in a nonprofit and realized: the work nobody sees is the work nobody budgets for. Then people wonder why Black women leave. We don't leave because we can't do it. We leave because doing it invisibly costs too much.

I bought these Italian orange fizzy candies and ate the whole bag over three days, and only then did I realize I should probably look at the nutrition information. Which was in Italian, and metric. Then I found the English part (still metric). I believe I ate 700 calories of fizzy orange candies?

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.
