Galactic Drifter Teirhan

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

All I want is my sportwagen but electric.

$4.26 a gallon to fill up my sportwagen. It's like I am back in California.

Ah, for the days when 93 octane was only ~20 cents a gallon more than standard, instead of almost a fucking dollar.

yuritober day 3 but i'm posting a little later than i'd hoped

Inspired by marathon feelings, I ran 5.5 miles today.

That was a mistake. It was too dang hot.

Huh, today I learned (or, i guess more likely, I had just forgotten) who the Hatfield Library was named after.

Maybe this time I can manage a 4 hour marathon.

Shaving 30 minutes off my time feels like a difficult but achievable goal.

The real question is which race to aim for.

Philadelphia? Wineglass? MCM? Richmond Marathon? Mohawk-Hudson? MDI? Roll the dice for Chicago?

Just do Twin Cities again since it was a freaking *amazing* race?

I think I want to run a Marathon again next year.

wizard frog is insane

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

And now for something completely different... I think I'll read if on a winter's night a traveler by italo calvino.

That's Snow Crash finished, and a pretty glaring hole in my understanding of cyberpunk filled. Fun book. Ending is abrupt as hell though.

Happy Saturday, everyone! 😊 Up super early this morning (as always!), then my day consisted of yet more book sorting and naps with bubba. Making the most of him napping now by starting this beauty! @kyliu99.bsky.social #AllThatWeSeeOrSeem 💭 Thanks @headofzeus.bsky.social for the book & sleep mask!

So what will it take to get Oil and Gold up on a streaming service?

I would even settle for JUST Nemesis and Everything That Rises Must Converge.

I'm so tired of this.

Every day I wake up and watch the increasingly unpopular regime break the law and violate constitutional rights in six new ways. Every night I go to sleep knowing no one will ever see any consequences for the violence they are inflicting on this country.

Chirico going to grab a soda from the fridge

Votoms ost for some reason:

"A refrigerator cannot destroy heat, it can only move it away from the sealed world of its interior to the chaos of the outside. One man's thirst will lead him to open the barrier, heedless of the consequnces. The crack of aluminum, the hiss of carbon dioxide. Next time: Chirico Grabs a Diet Coke"
