I'd be curious to know if he's ever actually worked that land himself, or just owned it. There's some terrain in between "farmer" and "farm owner."

The unwillingness of a great many people to call racism racism because doing so is seen as rude or uncivil is hugely problematic.

I can see someone going with Riboflavin, sort of has a vibe.

The piece isn't addressed to "the far left," but "the left." And in both the US and Europe support for Ukraine is far higher among the left than the right. Have a nice night.

This is good, but...it isn't the American *left* that excuses Russia. This is mis-aimed.

If you looked at SpaceX's Falcon 9 in 2012, you'd call it a terrible rocket with a terrible record. Today it's the most successful rocket in history...but not the same rocket as was being flown in 2012.

To be fair, ignoring earlier failures isn't necessarily wrong, given that the hardware and software has undergone change in response to those earlier failures. If you're in a build-test-redesign-build cycle, comparing apples to apples is important.

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Most American potato chips are "potato flavored salt" rather than "salt-enhanced potato"

The "half the salt!" potato chips still have at least 2x the salt they should have, to my taste, so what I really need might be "15% of the salt!" potato chips.

They make "fluffy" floss, but it's designed in precisely the wrong way (it's only fluffy when it's not under tension...which means that when in use, it's not fluffy...so it's pointless.)

Everyone’s talking about Steve Bannon saying Trump will be president in 2028. But here’s the point most are missing: He’s openly floating treason and civil war.

β€œSeizing institutions and purging them.” Isn’t rhetoric, it’s a test to see how far Trump’s followers will go.

They should make dental floss with little knots in it. Bumpyfloss.

Loudest show I've ever attended: DJ Tricky, Fox Theater, Boulder CO, January of 1997.

I feel like we're seeing the elements of disaster putting on their costumes, rehearsing their lines, lining up on their spikes. The orchestra has finished tuning, the lights have been dimmed, and the curtains are about to open.
