I know the piece is Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin, but every time I hear it my brain's first reaction is "oh, the United Airlines theme song."

Mendocino, California, the real-world location for the fictional Cabot Cove, Maine is mostly still such a town. Of course if you want access to a regular grocery store or pharmacy you do need vehicular transportation to the nearest larger towns nearby.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

So this...is a person who doesn't understand that 1) most horses do not have balls and 2) if you do what his post suggests, a horse with balls will attempt to trample you to death with great dedication and perseverance.

Don't walk in the green gas folks.

Thaaaat is a chemical weapon. Not spicy gas. You & your future kids will get weird cancers gas. Your liver and kidneys will be damaged gas. Render you into a twitching lump unable to move to safety gas.

Because he tells them what they like, and Fauci told them things they didn't. Emotional. Simple. Very stupid.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

Surveillance culture is the culture of invisible imprisonment.

"He who is subjected to a field of visibility, and who knows it, assumes responsibility for the constraints of power, he makes them play spontaneously upon himself; he inscribes in himself the power relation in which he simultaneously plays both roles; 🧵

he's a slimy, ⬜✝️ nationalist piece of 💩, but at least he has the courage to call out the man who tried to have him ly ched. yes. at least there's that.

The irony here is that HB is a very MAGA red enclave. I wonder how long it'll take for them to get their faces eaten by the leopards now...

@powells.bsky.social I spent years carefully curating those lists and frequently bought not only boks I was alerted to but others as part of the same order. I wanted to support an independent bookseller instead of Amazon.
You know what company hasn't wiped my books wishlist off the map?
