“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.” GK Chesterton

Why is quitting Bluesky to focus on his passion project, making handmade swimsuits for cell phones

For Earth Day I gathered a bunch of the random cinderblocks lying around here (for reasons?) and stacked them into an enclosure to use for composting

‘Petro-masculinity’ is destroying the planet. Can eco-masculinity help save it? | Andrew Boyd

It’s crucial to understanding how gender is affecting our ability to rally behind a shared ecological vision

“A good man is supposed to take responsibility, not shy away from it. It saddens me that the response of so many men to the ecological peril we are in is to renounce responsibility, get defensive, act out. When trouble comes to town, a good man is supposed to protect his home and his loved ones.”

“A life lived by a centrist, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing: the MY story”

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”

I hate contracting other people’s spiritual stuff when I bang them but I found a spell that counteracts it.

If you’re worried about contracting that strange hottie’s strange aura just send me $1000 and I’ll do a one hour countercharm* for you.

*countercharm not rated for STIs, only spiritual stuff

Scientists should start wearing robes and speaking almost exclusively in classical Latin.

I think this would dramatically improve society for obvious reasons that I don’t want to talk about.

I didn’t know they’d made a new hardy boys show, I bet these ones grow up to be tech bros.

They have blackmail files on everyone but they didn’t have to use detective skills, we all just handed over all our information because everyone else was doing it and we didn’t want to be left out

It’s a perfectly cromulent word

Wanting to build a little earthbag house is how I found out how ridiculously restrictive our local zoning laws are.

I bet the hardy boys grew up to be crooked real estate developers wearing rubber monster masks to commit some kind of fraud and used their detective skills to get away with it in spite of those meddling kids.

They probably have blackmail files on the whole gang

It occurs to me now that I’ve cut up old tires and filled them with expensive dirt to make raised beds that my cat will probably have a lot of fun digging up whatever I plant in there

That’s coming in the beta, we’re still in proof of concept

Elementary was the main thing I missed when I accidentally stopped paying for Hulu (honorable mention to Adventure Time)

Big Pasta Is Always Listening

I don’t like that robots can run faster than me now but if I’m being honest with myself they could probably run faster than me already.

But I randomly smash into fewer walls so I still have a shot.

For now.

No bird you don’t belong in the road this is people space stay in your own lane NO NOT LIKE THAT PULL UP PULL UP

I will continue criticizing Dems but I will also continue voting for them because it’s the only rational option atp

Cool but ominous

Those are emergency supplies.

Yeah. I barely know who Will Stancil is and I’m not invested in whether his takes are good or bad on balance but this one is bad and for some reason people just keep doubling down on it

This is a weird pot-kettle thing.

“I can’t afford what I used to buy.”

“You’re delusional, things are fine, LOOK AT MY CHART IT SAYS THINGS ARE FINE!!”

now I want a coffee table with a clear cover that displays the handy slots for…various items…the batteries go into
