dhuartson: Don't let anyone talk you out of spending $15 on a new hobby. That $50 will be the best $400 you ever spent.

This is not wrong.

Paying taxes.

People considering ditching substack, this might be of interest.

PS: ditch substack

Trump’s “complicated relationship with the Bible” is a lot like my complicated relationship with Charlize Theron

Cool. My electric mixer stirs faster than my finger

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

If I need to cheer myself up, The Castle (Australian film from 1997), but recently my “I just want to watch a good film” goto is Michael Clayton.

the quality of each star trek show is directly proportional to how often you see the characters engaging in hobbies

this is where I am.

The latter is what I do with my readers. Makes me feel smart.

Am guilty of unironically loving that album, but it’s definitely one where, as I get older, I’m a lot less forgiving of the “I think I’m really smart and a deep thinker” lyrics. Wish I could turn off my understanding of English when I listen.

as far as i can tell pope leo has never mentioned trump by name hes just like “killing people is wrong” or “concentration camps arent good” and theyre all taking it personally

This is the first website built entirely on the purity of the user's soul. I'm having no trouble accessing it. If you are then you must look within

nothing online works for shit anymore. everybody who knows how to work computer is unemployed. we are stuck with these losers shooting up peptides while they vibecode their claude dongle

I like that I live in a country where half of the people would probably visit Omelas and ask why there can’t be more children getting tortured in the basement

Probably not. But execution would.

Climate denial and anti-vaccination are not popular ideas. Substack is actively and forcefully promoting these people and their views for blatantly ideological reasons

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?

this piece from the Economist explained a lot — certainly put words to some of my own experiences:
archive.vn/StErl (archive link). the only real question, then, is why some of us skewed so liberal and others didn’t.

It used to be that the computer was the one blindly accepting whatever the human told them. It used to be that the source of errors was the human instructing the computer. How did it get turned around?

Look, it happens to all of us.

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

It is profoundly unjust that we have to live this way. It doesn’t make any fucking sense and it’s driving me insane

There’s no way to couch this: Vance is getting pillowried during negotiations in the former Ottoman Empire sofar.

if you made a CEO work as a dishwasher for one week they would go mad like a Lovecraft protagonist confronting an unnameable entity in the cellar

Starting to think a WH led by people hellbent on revenge against humanity was a bad choice for public servants.

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.

Todd is a good follow

It’s a good question, let’s clear the air:

1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span,

2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black,
