Who is going to write the thinkpiece about VAR showing us how rules can reinforce, rather than combatting, corruption and discrimination simply by being unequally applied?

I assume that this goal doesn’t count because VAR shows that Ziko didn’t finish his vegetables before dessert once when he was 12

Listening to the Spice Girls’ first album to transition to bedtime. Which I could say is because of the World Cup but honestly I have done this multiple times in the last week or so.

I went to Costco and I only made one impulse purchase. I think that qualifies me to write some kind of self-help book on willpower.

Go into a local bookstore for a souvenir book while on a trip, leave with three new books you “needed.” Thanks @katefolk.bsky.social, @hildur.bsky.social, Brittany Newell, and @greedyreads.bsky.social for adding to my TBR list.

It’s funny when an airline is like, “Hey, just wondering, no reason: do you want to switch up your upcoming flights? If you do, we’ll totally waive the difference in fares and any fees, because we’re so chill and always thinking of you.” That’s because it’s a favor you’re asking me to do for you.

I guess I don’t see how this is a (much less the) problem with Bluesky. If this is the vibe he feels that most users are deliberately cultivating, then presumably it’s working for them. There’s a difference between a problem and a thing that makes something just not for you.

I like how, when changing my sheets, a required step of remaking the bed is to put the 3-year-old plastic bag with two cat nip toys on top back in its usual spot. Pillows for me, plastic bag for Moonpie.

I saw a post in the H‑E‑B subreddit titled “Something going on with the rotisserie chickens?” and my first thought was some kind of weird horror lit concept. What are they plotting, as they glisten in the warmer?
