I have never gotten rid of my records and hopefully will never have to. I did get rid of many of my DVDs before I made the move across the country and have regretted that repeatedly. Never again.

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

It’s the best and most people think my dog is named after Johnny Ramone but, no way, it’s this guy

I used to literally dream about the empanadas we'd get across the street.

True story: I once drove him and my sis to the video store so they could rent it (Kurt, not Jonathan)

It also might be time to finally sit down and focus on the solo album I meant to make 15 years ago.

I realized that if what I am facing is a degenerative situation with my hearing then I need to 1) embrace what I do have for as long as I have it and 2) find other ways to create and experience life and, honestly, making this food is the best substitute I could think of.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

Things are so terrible and I have had an exceedingly rough time the last two years personally. We just passed the two year anniversary of the first time I had sudden hearing loss and next Friday is the anniversary of the tree falling on our house. This is me being determined to create some joy.

In Gaza, we’ve resorted to drinking salty water just to keep ourselves from fainting We drink salt and water to stay standing, to keep ourselves from going dizzy and collapsing. This is what we’ve come to in Gaza, where most people will go without food for three days at a time.

Tonight I made a dry hot pot with chicken, shiitakes, snow peas, cabbage, and shishitos (mostly used what I had from the farm share). It was very good but I was sorta spoiled with the laziji from the other night. Up next: beef chow fun.

I've been writing about Paul Ingrassia, Trump's pick to be Lead Counsel, for over a year. Here's a thread of my work, starting with Ingrassia's fondness for Nick Fuentes.

More on Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith:

➑️ He said that the descendants of slaves should pay reparations to the descendants of slave owners

➑️ He urged Congress to make J6 a national holiday

➑️ He called for Trump’s birthday to be made a national holiday (β€œMAGA Day”)

Exclusive: Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data Thousands of shared ChatGPT chats are now appearing in Google search results.

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.
