Addendum: many farmer protests are bad

I mean Weiss was always opposed to freedom for the “wrong” kind of speech, people are just very good at pretending otherwise when it’s in their financial interest

Watching this is like laying down in bed when you’re drunk

Go Hoos, we deserve the occasional treat after 20 years of mostly sucking

From this angle at least, looked like he was inches away from taking off that cameraman’s head

At event in DC, Sen. Chris Van Hollen keeps it going with Hakeem
Jeffries over not endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: if you can’t back the kind of campaign he ran, “don’t ask those young people to show up for other Democrats across the country — that’s the message that will be sent.”

I love to hear consecutive drives described as “soul crushing” and “back breaking”

Yeah nowhere near the same level of production and consumption. A data center would need thousands or tens of thousands of acres worth of solar (plus batteries, though they’re not very space consuming) to meet its demand

Flashbacks to Liam Neeson climbing a fence in Taken 3

Having attended many local hearings to support dense housing and been told I’m Hitler and should have simply bought 60 years ago, my issue with “Abundance” is that the people headlining the official events all seem to want to deport all immigrants and call for more suburbs to solve the problem

You see comments on line like “it’s so crowded” and “the streets are dirty,” and I just think - it’s a major city, did you not expect people to live there?

Yeah I imagine it’s a combination of people expecting it to be Disney World with no lines, and not wanting to do even basic prep (learn any French phrases and customs, be willing to walk/metro around, book the most popular places in advance)

All the comments I read online before visiting Paris said “prepare to be disappointed,” but then the actual place was so much better than I could have hoped in walkability and vibes

Eventually it wraps around to being a romance, makes the whole journey worth it

I’ve been tracking this for about a year since Golden State Clean Energy started talking about it. It’ll be interesting to see whether they try to get it through the CAISO queue or do some kind of independent balancing authority since it’s so massive

Few things as stressful as watching someone else craft on a let’s play

My local Safeway started locking up deodorant. Am I supposed to ask an employee to take them out one at a time to figure out which smells the best?

It doesn’t look like there are any actual numbers in those snippets though backing up the impact of a pro-DEI boycott, just statements. I’d like it to be true, but what stats can they actually tie specifically to a boycott?

A friend said he now sees a group of FBI at every one of his rec league soccer games in Columbia Heights. Are they gonna start carding infractions?

YouTube video by BBC Polish Driving License - QI Highlight - BBC

Sounds like the famous Polish criminal Prawo Jazdy youtu.be/3DQBc3eFUlU?...

I wasn’t able to follow the full meeting, do you know what the deal was with them halting any discussion of the Gross Receipts Tax?

I used to live in Charlottesville, and the manosphere has a lot of the same roots as the neo-Nazi scum that invaded our town

In pazaak if you fill all nine spots without going over 20, you win even if your opponent has exactly 20. Would have saved Austin one of the games where he had a Flip 3&6 card

3 Books to Read This Summer, Plus the Next Book Club Pick Plus: Register for a subscriber-only event in Philly

Picked it up this week and I’m excited to read it for Diana Lind’s next book club open.substack.com/pub/thenewur...

At home, straight reheating it. And by it, I mean the products of my time and labor

Seems fitting that the Stephen F Austin Lumberjacks would win the Timber Sports title

this is exactly right. the goal of youngkin and his board of visitors is to rewind the clock back to when UVA was a school for unexceptional children of the state’s conservative elites. even expanding UVA to serve all of the state’s talented students, regardless of background, is too much.

Calvinism as a justification for eugenics

Point of disagreement: I don’t like following dril because I want their posts to show up serendipitously
