yeah man we know

The dream tbh

My ideas are folded I’ll tell you that much

I can’t pinpoint why but this made me laugh hilariously for a full minute

No one needs to write any think pieces. Just link to this.

Yoshi main gang rise up

dudes rock

There should be a Low Power mode that’s even less power. I want to be able to toggle a button that turns this stupid device back into a regular phone. I would turn it on first thing in the morning and would be freed.

If anything, if there are people on the moon they could do with some colonizing I think

Incredibly recent (yesterday) but absolutely rocketing up the rankings

This thread made me laugh so hard I started crying

It’s trite to say simply “the humanities are good and important actually” but, like… they are. I don’t know what else to tell you. It shouldn’t even be something we need to convince folks of. For some people it’s self evident but for too many other people it’s not.

Took a 45 minute walk on this, the first gloriously sunny day of spring in Chicago, and got suburned. Such was the consistency of my hermit-adjacent lifestyle this winter.

‘Succulent Chinese meal’ speech added to Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive Jack Karlson’s rallying cry of ‘democracy manifest’ added to national collection of sound recordings that hold historical, cultural and aesthetic significance * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Thirty-five years ago, when Jack Karlson was hauled into a police car outside a Chinese restaurant in Queensland, he couldn’t have known his bombastic speech would be watched by millions around the world, become a meme and now, be preserved for ever in Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive. Karlson’s declaration – “Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest! … What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?” – is one of nine pieces of audio that have been added to the NFSA’s Sounds of Australia collection this year, along with a pedestrian crossing signal and Missy Higgins’ 2004 hit Scar.

‘Succulent Chinese meal’ speech added to Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive

Merely the concept of Bob Mortimer makes me laugh

A screenshot with a block of text: Minister: The US is now a revisionist power. For 80 years, the US was the underwriter for a system of globalisation based on UN Charter principles, multilateralism, territorial integrity, sovereign equality. It actually heralded an unprecedented and unique period of global prosperity and peace. Of course there were exceptions. And of course, the Cold War was still in effect for at least half of the last 80 years. But generally, for those of us who were non-communists, who ran open economies, who provided first world infrastructure, together with a hardworking disciplined people, we had unprecedented opportunities. The story of Singapore, with a per capita GDP of 500 US dollars in 1965. Now, lit is| somewhere between 80,000 to 90,000 US dollars. It would not have happened if it had not been for this unprecedented period, basically Pax Americana and then turbocharged by the reform and opening of China for decades. It has been unprecedented. It has been great for many of us. In fact, I will say, for all of us, if you look back 80 years. But now, whether you like it or not, objectively, this period has ended. There is no point trying to assign blame or pejorative adjectives. That is not helpful. Basically, the underwriter of this world order has now become a revisionist power, and some people would even say a disruptor. But the larger point is that the erosion of norms, processes, and institutions that underpinned a remarkable period of peace and prosperity; that foundation has gone. What you are seeing now, whether you watch the war in Ukraine, in the Middle East or elsewhere, including in Asia, to me these are symptoms of the underlying tectonic rupture. Big powers and even lesser powers have a more narrow definition of national interest.

This is quite something from Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, in an interview with Reuters. The end of the post-war order, diagnosed in technocratic language. www.mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/pre...

31M Irish Americans crash back into Shannon Airport. The Irish economy instantaneously collapses, unable to support the influx. The charming stone walls in the West are dismantled by guys from New York and Boston hurling rocks at each other in hopes of securing precious territory in Roscommon.

I’m not talking the abstract life-effects of addiction. I’m talking literal minute-to-minute biology

We need to regulate gambling more than alcohol because if I gamble too much there’s no mechanism that makes me black out and stop until my body rejects all the gambling out onto the sidewalk

It’s genuinely surprising that as far as I can tell literally not a single reply considers that alcohol can and will literally kill you if you do too much of it whereas gambling on your phone… doesn’t do that.

No matter how hard I try I simply cannot spend $10,000 on booze I drink in one sitting at a local bar without dying of alcohol poisoning, whereas I can easily lose that in 30 seconds by gambling, whether I’m doing that while at a local bar or even on the toilet

Rocky is my best friend and I would die for him

I think we're going win, but I want to win hard enough that we start paying artists to paint murals in post offices again. (This time the post offices are also banks.)

[–]Res_Novae17Conservative [score hidden] an hour ago I never really loved his personality, but he's gone off the rails lately. I just want someone with all of his policy positions who is a decent person. There's no reason we can't have both, except that it seems very hard to get within reach of the presidency if you are a populist (on either side!)
