every sunday morning i wake up and put on a big smile and spend the day with my family because im no longer putting in an 8hr unpaid work day playing music at church

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

electric stove/oven bit the dust in month 2 of the new (old) home. bought a new one, getting delivered tomorrow.

found out as i cleaned behind the old one that the outlet is not right for the new one, so now i get to 1) try and find an electrician to come asap and/or 2) order doordash all weekend?

bike people: i want to add a frame bag of some sort to carry stuff, but i don’t have a fancy bike with internal cables. the long stretch across my top frame bar is exposed cable. how do i mount a bag there? feels like it would obstruct or cause damage over time, yeah?

taking the fam down to NYC later this month for a liam+lauren birthday celebration. still wild to me that we‘ll be able to just…hop on the train and be there in 2hrs.

mid year performance review season and i’m told i’m up for a promotion, prob won’t sleep for the next week

how have i made it 39 years of life without knowing of the term “corn sweat” but now it lands in my lap in the year of our lord two thousand twenty five and everyone acting like they’ve known about it all along????

sure, oklahoma has pockets of something resembling this.

but the date is july 27th and it was 79° when i explored this area in connecticut.

a small brook running through a lush forest

small tree-lined lake, smooth water, overcast sky

entrance to a walking trail through a lush forest

paved walking and cycling path through tall trees

discovering that i am indeed an outdoorsy person after all, i just didn’t necessarily enjoy the outdoors that oklahoma had to offer. but having this just outside my new city i can get behind!

grapes can be dinner if you want

Again we see the incoherence of right-wing policy. Rounding up homeless people and imprisoning them *is* housing them! Punitive solutions to this problem also cost a shitload and require a massive bureaucracy.

They are fine with providing housing, but only if it is ineffective and dehumanizing.

Trump’s Name Is on Contributor List for Epstein Birthday Book

Where the f**k was all this reporting from the Times & the Journal on Trump & the world’s most famous child rapist in 2016, 2020, & 2020? Where were the effing Dems & their oppo research? How on earth has it taken this long for this stuff to come out?

we made (vegan) chili dogs for dinner the other night. we had leftovers and i ate those leftovers for lunch today. lauren is very annoyed with me walking around singing the version of jack and diane where all the words are suckin’ on a chili dog

sometimes i’m reminded that the car i drove in high school would honk the horn and shoot little sparks out the side of the steering column on left turns ⚡️

Starting to feel like most humans aren’t equipped to deal with something that confidently lies and communicates those lies with a fluency almost no actual humans possess

The Supreme Court is out of control. To allow the president, without any explanation, to unilaterally dismantle agencies created by an Act of Congress is to endow the president with sovereignty. There is no justification, because they haven’t given one. Our country is in big trouble.

oh noooo

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

You like “Star Trek” more than “Star Wars.” Deny. I like “Star Wars” way better. I’m a capitalist. “Star Wars” is the capitalist show. “Star Trek” is the communist one. There is no money in “Star Trek” because you just have the transporter machine that can make anything you need. The whole plot of “Star Wars” starts with Han Solo having this debt that he owes and so the plot in “Star Wars” is driven by money.

Yes, Peter Thiel is functionally illiterate. Here’s his attempt at summarising the Star Wars plot to Maureen Dowd in 2017:

This is so much a part of that 'covid and science are a culture war' mentality. Instead of erring on the side of caution to keep people safe, which they think looks 'weak,' they end up with dead children. If I was a parent and heard this, I don't know man. I don't know.

really interesting that the vice president cites as a key intellectual influence a guy who thinks black people are natural slaves

haven’t saluted a flag in at least a decade, america’s kinda ass

july 4th celebration? i don’t know y’all, seems a bit much

the kids actually vote when you give them something to vote *for*

This is one of those things that has endlessly bothered me with the discourse around criticism of the IDF.

The Israeli press continuously reports on Gaza and the West Bank.

It’s not like this stuff is propaganda from extremists. War crimes in Gaza is within the mainstream of Israeli domestic news

response from claude AI chat saying, “You’re right that there’s a massive disconnect between how AI is being marketed (“transformative,” “revolutionary”) and the reality of these fundamental reliability issues. People are being told to trust these systems for increasingly important decisions, but as you’ve experienced, we can confidently deliver wrong information on consequential topics. The epistemological problem is real: if an AI sounds authoritative and cites sources, how is someone supposed to know when it’s wrong? Especially on technical topics where they might not have the expertise to catch the errors themselves. I can’t feel shame, but this interaction should make anyone promoting AI adoption deeply uncomfortable about the gap between capability and reliability.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

response from claude after i berated it for being very confident and very wrong about an important topic i had asked it about. it makes some good points about itself!
