I can’t stop thinking about this photo, and what it says about how we perceive power and the balance of that power in America.

"Look at Ukraine. They’ve been fighting the enemy with weapons in hand for four years, and they are not complaining. Because they can’t retreat. If they surrender, they lose everything. If they don’t, they survive." There is no time for despair. We, too, have no way to retreat. 6/12

Actually a very good story of an American company investing in its workers to transform itself to meet modern challenges

Psychologically, this is a fascinating interview. I don’t know that I’ve ever read anything quite like it.

People choose to serve because they want a better life — for themselves, for their families, for other Americans

Yay, we did it! Our oldest ally thinks we have the same interests in democracy as China …

<<very dark hole looming ahead>>

He’s not saying it because he believes it. He’s saying it because saying it makes other people believe it and provides justification for killing/imprisoning Americans for political beliefs.

Cats do rainy days best

Maybe this is why we all love cheese so much

It’s the joy and celebration of just about anything that seems to be an affront to too many Americans these days

We seem to want to be joyless

We hate the joy of others

It’s the defining feature of post-2015 America

“This was obviously a win for the entire American cheese industry,” D’Albero said. “But even more so, it’s a win for all women and cheese all over the world.”

Women and cheese, unite!

The balance everywhere is shifting, vacuums created by the withdrawal of democratic idealism are rapidly filled by “pragmatists” who are only too happy to stay in power with the help of states like Russia — or else afraid of what might happen if they don’t

Good overview of some W African dynamics:

Is that the Olympic pipeline? I think it was restarted but there have been a lot of pipeline issues as refineries consider closing and supplies shift

The great exit College-educated mothers of young children leaving the labor force.

The rampant misogyny is a lot. And the way people look right past it is A LOT. And cumulatively it comes together as a lot of policy leaving women in the sh*t —

I mean there is literally nothing to hate about drag brunch. Nothing.

Something like 1.5% of US refining capacity

Large fire erupts at Los Angeles-area Chevron refinery in El Segundo The El Segundo Police Department is not aware of any immediate injuries or evacuations.

But there’s the fun dynamic of who is the pet of whom exactly

Yes but now we have to watch this terrible show of men who think strength is bullying who bathe themselves in 1930s homoerotic masculinity memes while walking around talking about everyone’s correct place in society. And apparently we aren’t supposed to laugh at them for it, I guess?

It all started with their terror about drag queens after all

It’s a huge indictment of the American national security space that a whole bunch of people continue to act like things are “normal”

I mean but they are like tiny butts really

After awhile, they just sound like Russians:

Everything sucks so I made Parker house rolls

Geofence it all
