His beloved glass skyscrapers kill orders of magnitude more birds than wind turbines.

I don’t care much about precision finding—I’m more concerned with where on Earth I lost something, not where in this room it is—so I like the really cheap, USB-C rechargeable ones. I’ve had good luck with the UGREEN FineTracks.

Post from Dale Partridge claiming nobody wants to live in diverse neighborhoods

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries.

Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

I second the hawker center recommendation. You can eat for almost no money, and there’s some legitimately great food.

It’s funny that absolutely nobody needs to be told what “it” is.

I like saviors who didn’t die.

Not long, as it turns out.

How long until Trump says something tasteless about this?

I just searched my photo library for “Boeing,” and it returned every large jet aircraft of any kind.

We’ve all moved on already.

I got a 404 on that link.

Was that a written statement from the spokesperson, or was it the journalist who quoted the spokesperson who stuck the apostrophe in there?

It’s okonomiyaki (Hiroshima-style) time.

The only thing that even/odd plate thing did in the 70s was to ensure that everyone in the gas line had something in common. As I recall, it didn’t do anything to make the lines shorter.

I’ve got one episode to go. I’ve enjoyed it all the way through.

If I can’t finger the nostrils of my colleagues and their wives, then whose nostrils am I supposed to finger?

And everywhere else, while we’re at it.

And his name is “Markwayne.” That’s disqualifying on its own.

I think he meant that to be an em dash, but he doesn’t know how to type it or even that it’s a different character from a hyphen.
