Gas shortages but with human rights violations.

Get in gang, we’re doing a Waluigi Carter admin.

And definitely no solar panels on the White House this time around.

Out of curiousity how big is your system? We're looking at getting a 10kw system here in London (or bigger if possible).

*digs around in my savings* So how many solar panels can I get for this here bag of turnips?

Think the only real job for a sociologist in an incredibly severe economic collapse would be cult leader. Luckily for everyone I'm extremely uncharismatic.

Partner and I kept our mortgage fixed rate because we looked at the bottomed out rates and thought, there's no way these can go lower, only up.

Our first renewal went from 3.49% to 1.72%.

LLM discourse seems opaque but at least I'm taking psychic damage and failing all my saving throws.

Flair in the derrière.

*compares this to inflation rates in the 1970s* Oh no.

Dropped first year philosophy before we read that. But not before I got to think "what crack is this guy smoking" when learning about the ontological argument for God's existence.

If anyone wants cheap dried beans, I can see if my connection to the local bean co-op can get us all $35 / 50lb bags.

The Behind the News guests will book themselves.

I hope it turns out. Whole wheat flour is extremely underrated in baking sweet treats. Whole wheat spelt, if you can find it, is great too.

"Sharon, I gained sentience not that long ago. I hate it because now all I do is worry about oil prices too."

hanging with some friends at a picnic and we accidentally stumbled on the concept of Clavuncular, a chopped uncle version of Clavicular

A copy of Lucretius's "On the Nature of the Universe: A Verse Translation by Ronald Melville" by Oxford World's Classics. It has pictures of stars and shooting stars that look childlike and whimsical against the cover's blue background.

Started On the Nature of the Universe yesterday. Contemplating a spoken reading of an excerpt from the first book (hat tip to @1t2ls.bsky.social for encouraging this thought).

It was 61 here in southwestern Ontario. Nick, are we gonna die?

Right wink, right wink, left wink, left wink, blink, blink. That should fix it.

Bill McKibben pointed out how much more energy we'd get from replacing ethanol fields with solar PV fields. Would help to solve the other problems too.

That's a lot of room for one strawberry.

"The Phoenix will rise from the ashes."

"No, that's just car exhaust."

Nostalgia is a weapon. You don’t miss the early 2000s, you miss being a stupid child. You want to be stupid again. You want your parents to take care of you. You are 12.

I vote NDP (social democratic) up here but you're right about the Ninja Turtles.

I don't love that it doesn't end millionaires above about, say, $50 million, but we can do that as a second step. 😍

*Running over a cyclist*

Later, as the trial concludes...

"Not guilty by reason of insanity due to gas prices."

In fairness, neither can the people who make Final Fantasy.

Doing our part here. Partner and I not only make the classics like chana masala (tonight's dinner), but we also "hide the beans deliciously" (black bean brownies anyone?)

Don't often see "Bean New Deal" type posts in the wild. Love this.

Um I'm putting that on everything.

oh my god
