The Treachery of Images painting by René Magritte

Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.

Man on a conference stage. The slide reads: "Are you going to this year's Fibonnaci conference? It's going to be as big as the last two put together."

mold is starting to strategically target rightwingers

Enough time passed that they forgot biden and kamala are complicit and now they can say it is purely trump.

This way they don't have to do any self reflection or pretend to have a conscience

it turns out leftists were right about israel. they’re probably still wrong about everything else though

Leftists still being blamed for being correct too early.

Mamdani in 2022: After at least 2,251 Palestinians were killed over the course of July 2014, Hakeem Jeffries got on stage at a rally in NYC and paraphrased George Wallace. “Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever.” If Jeffries is considered a progressive, the term has lost all meaning.

Hakeem Jeffries is cooked.

Inform the driver of the risks, you don't have to explain your problems. Just his risk. "If I don't have accessible seating, I am a fall risk". This is real for me. I fell on my last bus trip. This generally lands. It's not their business what you've got, just what they might get sued for.

A word of advice that has worked for me so far; have your "paperwork" if you don't have a visible disability. Wait until everyone has loaded, and talk with the bus driver when they aren't trying to load everyone.

November (one of the hosts from the "Well there's your problem" podcast) has a recurring bit about **the intrusive thought to grab a cops gun**.

Not out of being suicidal or start a firefight, mind you, but rather to "look at the gun up close"... citing how she's neurodivergent and also a gun nerd.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

July 14 Fidaa update:

Unfortunately no update today.

I sent her a 💌 but her 🛜 was so bad it wasn’t even delivered.

I do miss that car

Years ago I had an 1996 Toyota Corolla with a Hungarian front plate and an EU bumper sticker.

It was leaking power steering fluid and for a while there the four wheels had three different brands of tires, each with no tread on any of them.

I called it the AE 102 Eurobeater
