The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Why is a package called “cargo” when it’s on a ship, but “shipment” when it’s in a car?

Ah yes, that refined Seattle tap water

Ya’ll, I took the new train into Seattle, and met another trans girl who was also excited about the fact that we have the world’s first (technically second) train on a floating bridge and my wife called it the Trains Day of Visibility.

i think it's beautiful that no two hex wrenches have ever been the same size. embrace your individuality! ✨✨ enjoy your devoted lifelong relationship with a bolt that measures 23/128"

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

David Roberts -

the U.S. is basically aligning itself as the last big petrostate. And will go down with the fossil fuel ship; and China is aligning itself as the first electrostate. It is rapidly electrifying its economy, dominating the technology, supply chains, world markets, everything

(post from scarhaver) I think it is good to warn people in advance about the circumstances that will cause you to bite them and I think that having given that warning it is good to follow through when the time comes the rattlesnake is an admirable creature whose virtues we should emulate (reply from nightmarecleric) this post reads like a drunk text you'd receive from a werewolf

You shiver, and the city shivers with you.

When I moved to Seattle in 2006, there was no regional rail connection to anywhere. In two days, we open a connection that unites TWO LINES together into a full network.

I've owned a PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. I owned a PSP Go. I owned both models of Vita. I even briefly owned a second PS2 for playing import games.

Sony, you gotta give me a reason to buy your next system and "We're firing every studio that makes games that you like" ain't it.
