What witchcraft has been wrought to keep me from sleeping

I'm such a patootie in them

So far: no headaches.

I got new glasses and I love them

I love all the books equally, as a parent does, but I wouldn't mind new movies

What the literal fuck

Ooh I loooove that yarn

It's not about the money. When Tracey Morgan was in that accident, he sued Walmart and people were critical. It is not about the money. It's about them facing a consequence that could change future actions

To be clear, I'm not against consequences. This comment comes from a thread about the Noma chef abusing his workers and sponsors pulling out.

I am not in fine dining, I don't know the full extent of reform needed, but that is a tiny step forward on the path to this Chef losing power

But reading Mariame Kaba's essays on prison abolition and criminal justice reform helped me put it into words, about the way forward.

If we are obsessed with revenge based justice (which btw, I understand completely) then we aren't focusing on the community and what's actually helpful.

Honestly growing up religious first made me realize there is no true justice, even when people would say, at the final judgment all will be balanced and just.

Well, no. Punishing someone didn't mean the offenses never happened. Some people have harder lives. It's not just.

"Justice" in these situations, it's not real. The way forward is to further minimize harm and do good for the community. True justice isn't real and we can't have a criminal justice system based on revenge.

It's not the point of the article, but there's something surreal about this article (and the staffers) trying to spin $145 dollar dress shoes as trash

Get a real job, Pinker, or just retire away from us

Do you think she realizes it doesn't make sense? There are very good ML translation systems that would aid her a lot better (even just Google translate is heaps better than it was a decade ago), but I don't know how you would kindly bring it up.

I got a pixel 10 pro specifically for the camera, but I guess I'm just doing cat photoshoots so far (SO FAR)

I dunno what the answer is, but my son is always gifted kits like this and I think we've made one of this brand, and it was unusually difficult. Less about the learning of mechanics and more like ...it's just in a thousand pieces. I'm curious if this one is the same

I am pleased to announce that Pokopia is my new fixation

Been watching Reels from Mexico to improve my Spanish and I'm learning a LOT of new insults, it's exhilarating

I'm busy but it's also a crime to ignore

Oh the colors are so cool!!

Omg leaf cutter ants, I love them. And this is a great list!!

No any jungle!! I want world wide representation! I love these

Yesss

Oh this is what I'm talking about

Yes!! All of these I put on my list, but I'm esp excited about a poison dart frog

I'm crocheting 🧶 a jungle animal baby blanket but I wanted to be extra and have some unusual animals in there too

Any thoughts? Double points if the animal is brightly or multi colored but certainly not required

Any jungle region is ok

Gasp

I BEAT THE SIRENS but now my headache has escalated and video games are out too
