illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

I know I cite it all the time but I will not forget the NPR story mid-2022 from an upscale VA suburb, asking shoppers who said the economy was "bad" what they meant and the answers were all "too many help wanted signs", "not enough registers open", "everyone expects a tip"

the full list doesn’t include “male” or “man” but saying “female” or “woman” gets you blacklisted lmfao. the patriarchy is more powerful than ever

I love what you do, but I can’t handle another email. Thanks for making your Substack available to us non-subscribers still!

one of my central beliefs, really genuinely and sincerely is that cars are fundamentally evil and indoctrinate people into extremely reactionary ideology.

Egyptian Blue Bes ceramic Statue from the British museum shop, kind of looks like a tiny suspicious bear? He's adorable

A middle Egyptian turquoise hippo from the met. He looks despondent and adorable. He has line art of reeds painted on his back and face.

A ceramic baby rattle from the met shaped like a pig. However it doesn't look much like a pig, it's giving creature saying ooooooo. It's adorable.

Little red earthenware bowl from the met. It has two little humanoid feet on the bottom and looks like he's standing shyly. Adorable.

Every museum should have a Little Guys Tour, and at the end of the tour you can buy reproductions of all the little guys

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

So much this.

So many of the grievances coming out these days boil down to "you should have been nicer to me."

If you listen to Andreessen and Horowitz's podcast on why they supported Trump it was literally "we asked to meet with Biden & he wouldn't. But Trump's kids would invite us to dinner."

Yay! "Not everything works, but it's not full of Nazis"
is much better than "It's full of Nazis and we keep deliberately breaking things that work".

Also, "Popular with Friends" seems to work ok.
