Big Plastic wants you to think you can recycle your yogurt container Those numbered labels, vetted by private interests, can be misleading.

Most plastics are not recyclable, largely because there is no market for materials labeled 3 through 7.

A government by the companies, for the companies.

These kids on the train saying “is this our stop” at each stop very sweetly to their parents and singing and playing is really a reminder how much better transit is than taking a Lyft to the airport.

Today, Rhode Island became the TENTH state to ban assault weapons thanks to the tireless advocacy and organizing of @momsdemand.bsky.social and @studentsdemand.bsky.social volunteers and survivors. 💪🏾

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Ahhh that’s amazing!! Are you liking it? Will have to catch up if we can make it up for PAX East sometime!

Also the highways in Atlanta have like 50 lanes.

Thoughts?

Thunderstorms?! Are you east coast now!?!

Not every employee there is evil. I worked for ICE under Obama and helped international students with university applications and writing. That org still exists there and I have friends working in it.

A man blinking, incredulously. In the span while his eyes are closed, it goes from January to June

The SEGA Dreamcast era was such a vibe and it deserved to be around so much longer than it was.

I’m so excited to play this!

Any company that can replace a tariffed product with an American made is going to flourish. Can’t get tomatoes or avocados, twinkies and Ho-Hos are made in US bakeries and are the perfect replacement !!! Pay no attention to the price increase. They never go bad !

Nothing like selling off a lovely intellectual journalism site to a content mill founded by a guy who got his start in content mill pornography. Sad day for some old colleagues and industry friends.

Same.

Breaks my heart. Having written for them in the past and having almost written for GameRant before thousands of red flags led me to flee the content mill that it is… this is not good.

We are so coming next year!

OH my gosh!! I bet it did. The second game is the most intense experience I’ve ever had in any form of media. Curious how it’s going to play out in the show.

It was brutalllllll

Bald eagles along the bayou in Houston, 2025

When I was young, there were <1,000 bald eagles in the lower 48 due to DDT, hunting, and habitat loss, and we never saw one the whole time roaming the prairies and mountains of SD. Today, there are 70,000+ and I see them daily. Governments can and should effect positive change.

How do you turn the unread count off!?

"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious & charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful. If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music."

RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Kurt Vonnegut man

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

This explains why I keep dying. Any advice for training or leveling? Trying to go straight through the story and that appears to be the way of death.
