Got my Covid shot yesterday. Feels like I got kicked in the head by a horse and my arm crushed by an elephant. 10/10 would do again.

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

Today in aging: I spent most of yesterday evening and night feeling like crap, and wondering why and this morning I found a bandage on my arm and remembered that I had a flu shot yesterday. 🤦‍♂️

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

Commemorative Freedom 250 Grand Prix cards were made available at select stations this morning. Team Metro quickly identified a defect in the card technology which makes them unusable.

How we ended up with a Tesla: -We went to buy an eGolf. The dealer refused to title it in my state. -We went to three Chevy dealers to buy a Bolt. Every single one wanted $8-12k above MSRP (pre-COVID). -Our VW ICE car blew its head gasket opposite the VA Tesla shop. The end.

Even putting aside his own incredible work, he created the definitive sounds and remixes of so many other artists. Will be listening to his version of Electrical Storm when forecasted thunderstorms hit this evening.

Just a reminder for @metrorailinfo.bsky.social that Kyiv’s Metro which has shorter headways during off-peak hours in the midst of a war than WMATA. What an embarrassment masquerading as public transit.

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

I loved Jurassic Park when I read it and loved it even more when I saw it. Sam Neill (and Laura Dern!) absolutely sold the incredulity in this scene when seeing dinosaurs for the first time and I had the same reaction when the camera panned over. Thank you Sam Neill.

My honest belief is that the dissenters should just be fully disbarred. You cannot sincerely believe the 14th Amendment does not contain birthright citizenship. To hold this is to be either so dishonest or so incapable of analysis that you cannot practice law.

you see the difference between Iran and America is that in one country ultimate power lies with a cabal of robed theocrats that pays only lip service to democracy, whereas the other is in the Middle East.

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.
