AND!! my local library tax on vacant parcels passed 70/30! a big step closer to us getting a bigger better public library

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

you'd think the cops inside Penn station could do something useful like manage the traffic just outside

btw the product info for the sweet hex candle seems to have snuck into the listing for the eggs.

maybe?? I don't think I heard the dynamite part of it??

if I had to commute I think I could really get used to the boat version

a photo of the yoke of a jean jacket that's been covered in decorative sashiko patterns in blue, green, white, and orange/red.

I finished these last month, the blanket was a wedding gift for my brother & his wife. the jacket was for me! (and needs a better photo but I'm posting from bed so)

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

a photo of a page from the King Arthur baking catalog, focused on a molded cake pan for mini skull cakes. they're selling a set of the pan and a mix to use with it. looks great for all occasions.

Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years in prison for plotting Brazil coup

This. This is what you're supposed to do when an ex-president illegally tries to retain power. You put them in prison forever. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.

lol I've read the entire series true blood was based on and I think I prefer my mental version. the one about the blind detective sounds interesting!

I'll try to find these! there was a fairly dark Finnish one that really sucked me in last year -deadwind (on Netflix in the US). fallet was a surprisingly good sendup of the genre too

this is my all time favorite genre though if you have other favorites! probably top of my list is vera, George gently, and Shetland. i enjoyed/am fascinated by midsomer murders. I've been leaning towards female detectives lately.

I'm going to start telling people I think non-white-collar crime is fake

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children.

Pay all workers a living wage.

GAVIN NEWSOME
ÜBER ALLES

And he's lying by the way. Gavin Newsom gave a toast at Gigi Gorgeous' and Nats Getty's wedding. Gigi Gorgeous is a trans woman influencer. Nats Getty, who is Gavin's godchild, came out as nonbinary and then a trans man. Gavin understands the issue, he's being cynical and calculating.
