Whatever Douthat says, do the opposite of that.

And my hotel is pretty close to Retro Games, makers of my beloved Metroid Prime.

Holy carp, Austin has so many game stores! Card games, video games, Magic cards, my Goog map is swarming with games!

I guess I shouldn’t have worried if brought enough of my meds for my trip, given that I’ve missed taking my meds a few times.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

I’m here for this.

a group of cowboys are dancing in a circle in a dark room . Alt: a group of cowboys are dancing in a circle in a dark room .

Extra Hot Great just asked the question, “what boy band would you trust to remodel your house?” And my immediate answer was the Saja Boys.

Nap at the hotel? Or e-bike ride around the park?

Very few likes on other comments, very few replies. It’s bot behavior.

Only a year ago, my governor’s page got a few dozen comments, maybe up to a hundred on something righties really hated, and now it’s a few hundred in under an hour. And most just repeat the same thing.

It’s not free speech, or conversation, it’s just noise.

You know, I liked Facebook better when they made it harder to see politicians and political posts, instead of opening the floodgates to trolls and bots.

Whatever Douthat says, do the opposite of that.

Complicit. They’re making money from this or are so deep in their beliefs that they can’t get out.

I’ve quit telling people that I disagree with them. Instead, I now say, “I’m gonna have to agree with myself on this one.” It’s self-positive, non-confrontational, and just weird enough to end the conversation.

Trump and Epstein have even more in common than we thought.

Klingon Yoda: “Today is a good day to do or do not.”

Happy birthday, Juno!

We were listening to the early-released parts yesterday!

It's almost Halloween - if you're looking for something thrilling and chilling to read, have you checked out The Vow yet? My partner and I spent 4 years making the evil T4T erotica of our dreams with the fervent hope that it would become a part of your nightmares 🖤🩸

I want to know if there is a group chat of people who’ve slept with Paul Rudd called the Ruddfuckers.

It’s everyone’s job to help the poor, and government is a useful tool to do it.

When modern Christians say “it’s not the government’s job to help the poor,” they’re not echoing Jesus, Paul, the prophets, or the early church.

They’re echoing figures like Ayn Rand, who despised Christianity’s communal ethic of compassion and called altruism a “moral evil.”

This is vacation packing, not house packing.

I hate packing.

I would apparently much rather play video games than pack in a timely manner.

The bit at theof begging of the Prologue to Fellowship of the Ring where the string instruments kick in? The leimotif for the One Ring? I could listen to that over and over.

It's sorrow and grief and power and mystery all at once. It's an amazing theme.
