I really value la dolce far niente and it's a constant whack a mole in my head, to beat down the voice that says "but what are you doing with your life?" Well... Living it! Enjoying farting around, to use Vonnegut's phrase.

Sorry, I couldn't hear you! I was listening to my Pizza Hut AM radio with pan pizza headphones from Radio Shack

Wut

Fuck. I hadn't heard till now of his passing

The great writer George Saunders who unsurprisingly is also a really cool, thoughtful, funny guy

Saw George Saunders tonight! And got to meet him, shake his hand and get my book signed! Squeeee

One decent rule of thumb would be to live your life in such a way that Bruce Springsteen doesn’t write and record in like 72 hours a “Fat Shithead Clogged My Toilet” about you (a @leharrumph.bsky.social classic)

Half a billion on terrorizing citizens but we can’t have universal healthcare or basic income or affordable housing or public transit or

You could describe it as a flaw in Tolkiens writing that all the evil people are stupid assholes who just want to stab each other in the back and have no plans other than general evil, but it turns out that’s exactly what evil people are like, he got it completely correct.

not an accident that habeas corpus is one of the absolute foundational rights--and not an accident that ICE is working overtime to undermine it as much as possible

oh weird, it's almost like discouraging a super-effective vaccination means a highly contagious disease will spread like crazy

Honestly I've resorted to Fiber One cereal

when will the political unrest settle down so I can go back to talking about myself???

A stylized ruffed grouse bird spreads its wings on this riff on the Rebel Alliance logo. The bird is in the center of a circle, painted in shades of red, green, yellow, and black, in the style of a Pennsylvania Dutch folk painting. A small eight pointed star is to the right of the bird’s head. Under the logo is the text “Pennsylvania Civil Resistance”

I love this spectacular Ruffed Grouse Pennsylvania resistance bird by Jen Rand ( @jenrand.bsky.social ). The star is a nod to the Quaker tenet of nonviolence, and the style harks back to PA Dutch folk art.

One of the points of Altemeyer's research on authoritarian personality types is that they tend to exhibit much higher degrees of social conformance sensitivity. They really care about what's normal and they really care about both feeling and being perceived as normal.

I think it looks rad. Go for it

Easy to be cynical but this seems like it’s heading in the right direction

I know I ought to finish digging out my car and then take my kids sledding/tubing somewhere but after the hour of shoveling/clearing off snow I did, I actually don't have much energy for it :(

It fucking sucks
