Red potions heal health, green potions heal magic. makes sense to me.

Next they'll introduce a bill to certify that the Earth is Flat.

I always enjoyed the odd-numbered seasons more so than the even ones. It's almost the reverse of the original star trek movies in that way.

oh yeah, and happy Pride to all my LGBTQIA+ folks! I see you and I love you.

I get enough emails for free (or nearly so) books that include "steamy romance" (best not to ask why). Of these, I really wonder how many are just chatGPT hallucinating porn.

"Let them make lemonade" the battle-cry for a new era.

One day shy of 2200 days, I cancelled my Duolingo subscription and deleted the app. Their business decision to invest in AI over human employees is the sole reason for this.

Welp, I've only been using it the last 2100 days to keep a streak alive...which is a poor reason to continue to use it (and the way in which I have been using it isn't really conducive to actual language learning).

One notable flaw in the "fighting antisemitism" argument was always that Trump is a famous antisemite and his administration is lousy with antisemites.

are there any members of congress with enough chutzpah to serve this administration with Articles of Impeachment yet?

the warranty replacement parts for my keyboard will also be subject to an import duty tariff, despite being a warrantied part.
I hate it here.

funniest fucking way to violate the One China policy lmao

guy who is fixated on the tariffs chart because it recognizes taiwan as a country

With Trump's Tariffs, it'll make BJJ gis that aren't Origin the same price as Origin. So there's that.

But at least an end is in sight for this? so yay?

Luckily I've been on top of the insurance company, who finally told me where they mailed the check (even though I kept saying I haven't received it, and they never told me to check with the PA's offices).
So I have several texts to the PA and the PM for the roofers said he'd call them too.

The insurance company mailed the payment to the Public Adjustor, even though they have no action to take with this last remaining portion (i.e. paying the roofers their final amount due). Last time it took those chucklefucks 3 weeks to send me the check (and 3 phone calls).

for anyone following along with our roof saga (I may or may not have said anything here, I can't remember), when last we left off: the roofers did a great job, and their PM is the best contractor manager I've ever worked with.

we always knew that they wanted to be the ones wearing the jackboots.

And The Stormlight Archive is basically the same, but for Mormons.

although I will say, the WSJ's staff photographer got a photo here that when you're sorta scrolling down made me think it was the album cover of Wish You Were Here.

Oh good, it's not like we didn't already literally fight a war over this.

It’s sorta “The Song of the South” for a turn of the century audience. I think your analysis is spot on. It’s also revisionist for the sake of revision. It’s a weird story.

aren't they going to take away his R-Card for wearing a blue suit in public?
