How did you know I have a tab problem?

So many tabs.

What the ever lovin' fuck?

I'm an amputee and I cannot stress this enough. You absolutely totally need continuous progress in rehabilitation or you will fall into depression. Walking that 10 yards further than yesterday is what keeps you alive. Sitting in a chair for 6 months is death.

High-Bandwidth Minds in Low-Resolution Systems When Processing Speed Outpaces Social Pace.

High-bandwidth minds don’t malfunction, they overwhelm low-resolution systems. If you’ve felt misread or compressed, this explains why.

Opinion | I plan to donate my organs — but I’ve taken my name off the registry As an ICU nurse, I’ve seen organ donation rules hurt families. Here’s a workaround.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Inspired by this fossil, I once again feel compelled to point you towards the time that @everywhereist.bsky.social psychologically terrorised her husband by sticking googly eyes and quote-bubbles on everyday household appliances.

How to compost sod Hopefully, this edition inspires you to replace your grass lawn with literally any other thing!

This guy says it can decompose in one season... Big, if true.

Same. I want to dig up most/all of the sod, but it's A LOT. Sure, it'll decompose, but it's going to be a BIG mound.

YouTube video by David Hartley Why Wichita Lineman is the greatest unfinished song of all time

This one fills out other parts of the story.

Mentions the Wrecking Crew and how quickly Webb wrote the song.

I know! Such enduring lyrics and music.

Yep, every time.

I spoke about that lyric at my daughter's wedding. Several of her friends mentioned they hadn't heard of the song, but would check it out as the lyric had resonated with them. I hope they learned all the stories about Wichita Lineman, the writing, the studio session, everything.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The Internet is undefeated. One of the greatest moments in cinematic history.

To the extent that idealized, more democratic and inclusive "America" has been a reality, it is because of the people in the past who organized and acted and wrote and worked to make it a reality. Such people were no less "American" than the white supremacists they battled against.

We are also a nation in which thousands of white & Black people organized in their local communities to try to stop those kidnappings.

"We" are both.

"We waked up stark mad Abolitionists" - Salon.com Inside the New England big money, made off of slavery, that also funded the fight to keep slavery out of Kansas

I've been thinking a lot lately about how communities in the Antebellum North organized to protect Black Americans from kidnapping enslavers, and also how witnessing (and resisting) such kidnappings slowly radicalized a critical mass of white Northerners against slavery www.salon.com/2017/08/05/w...

Watch this, and follow this guy’s campaign. It’s really important.

I have had the pleasure of reading Rodger's stuff for years, and this might be his best work. It lifts my spirits considerably every day.

Every Republican since Eisenhower has increased the deficit.

Every Democrat since Carter has decreased the deficit.
