I and My Cloud

Transcript of a voicemail from a dentist. The auto transcription has mistakenly put down the dentist office’s name as Cocaine Family Dentistry.

I have kept this voicemail for years just for the transcript.

Justice for Tuvix (but not the back of his head)

DeSoto for the USS Hood

Best boss I ever had

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

WTF happened with him? I remember when he was just about food arguments and vaguely leftish politics.

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

The lengths Trump will go to keep Americans hungry knows no bounds.

Oh you sweet summer child…

Well my girlfriend is already there, so it just makes sense!

On top of allowing bigotry to run unchecked through our society, this is yet another case of shoddy reasoning by the majority undermining the long term strength of the Supreme Court.

Fuck, and I cannot of stress this enough, these lazy bigots.

Jackson in dissent is 100% correct.

Frey was running in Minneapolis against other Dems. I’d argue he was the more conservative major candidate. St. Paul’s incumbent mayor was unseated by another Dem with a platform of “what he’s doing, but I’m also gonna quite kill some bike infrastructure.” Small sour notes on an otherwise great day.

Just sitting here scrolling through election results with Celebration Rock on.

His cycling career is even funnier

Had to double check on Cheney dying. All I’d seen was people joking on Bluesky.

The only surprise for me here is that it’s not Liel Leibovitz writing this.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Pure (mid) Michigan

I feel like this is a generational thing. I took my kid and their friend out today and all the people 50 and under were giving two or more, and everyone above that was saying one.

This is bad and probably should be illegal, but what a fascinating text

We’ve achieved a capitalism so pure that even perceived reality can be commodified and sold.

Wario… that’s gonna bug me

Groceries vs takeout is bluesky’s “is warrior a libertarian”

Just the most corroded souls in the Republican Party…

This is maybe the most Bluesky duo of posts: the first mad at Democrats for abandoning Platner, followed by a reply mad at Democrats for backing Platner. Which is it, Bluesky?

That is the tattoo with the 1919 that people were talking about. The angle of the photo people were pointing it out in didn’t make it clear that it was on his arm. But there wasn’t a 1919 on his chest, it was the 1919 on his arm next to his Nazi peck tattoo.

I feel bad for the profession of journalism, but this is tremendous content.

I may never forgive you for getting this stuck in my head (again).

Twin Cities are great, don’t get me wrong, but damn I miss Portland.

I've often said that in a political choice where one has to be perfect VS being human (mistakes, past transgressions) most people will choose being human and bristle at the idea you must be perfect. It's why the left loses. But on the substance, Platner passes the smell test.

What does it even mean to pass a smell test on the substance. Doesn’t getting to the substance of something by definition require more than a smell test.

Awwww man… I was gonna summon Stalin to do my bidding this weekend. I’ve got the salt circle laid out and everything

We are approaching Thomas Friedman levels of tortured metaphors.
