There are two kinds of people: those who have read *Naked Lunch* and those who haven't. I used to be the latter. The read defiles the reader much like junk defiles the junkie. Touché, Burroughs.

Free hypothesis for a grad student to use for a dissertation: the level of business-speak obfuscation in corporate America is inversely related to the health of the job market. #gatekeeping #boundarywork

So, when do we get the big fight between Hegseth and Vance? Evangelical Protestantism vs. Trad. Catholicism.

The thing about Kalshi and these "futures trading" sites is that they lay bare the traditional stock and futures markets for what they all are: gambling.

I really thought Sinners deserved best picture.

A US military ad ran when I was watching One Battle after Another on HBO Max. That's, uh--something.

Resist the temptation to address society-wide problems with individual solutions.

At best, they isolate and exhaust everyone who cares until many of them abandon the cause. At worst, they reinforce the very problem we wanted to solve.

USA! USA! 🏒

The Drake Hotline Bling meme with non-profit organization on top being shunned and employee-owned company on the bottom being preferred.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

Happy Lucia Day! 🇸🇪🇳🇴🕯

Per our tradition, we celebrated with my great-grandmother's meatballs, potato sausage, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, glögg, and Lussekattor.

Hot and weird take: If Bartlett in The West Wing had been a Republican, Trump would never have been elected.

Another year, another tone-deaf competition throwing footballs in a hole to win college tuition. Do better, Dr. Pepper. Do better, America.

It's the same vibes as frustrated Evangelical Protestants unaware of Mainline Protestantism.

I just heard someone define herself as a "reformed Catholic." Um, yeah, Protestants have been around for more than half a millennium now. Haha

I am seeing ads from Meta and Amazon that aren't selling products; they're just trying to make the case that they're not evil companies. That feels different. Keep them on the ropes!

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay.

When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?

Just remember that given the abundance of neurodivergent people in science, it’s far more likely that autism causes vaccines.
