Random thought that won’t leave my brain:
Do automatic car washes in the snowy states have jets that wash the undercarriage?
And if not, why not? Other than frozen water lines, but I gotta figure salt and stuff still causes some rusting even when it’s not freezing.

@npub150l…r96e Good morning?

2024-09-08 21:06:10

Ok. Fuck this. I’m moving to #Porto.
A bottle of port. Something like a half dozen or more plates of food. Then they refilled out port glasses when we ran out.
The total! €78.50.
Yeah. I can do this.

You probably heard that finally, after more than 19 years, Apple finally lets you browse their directory of podcasts with a web browser.
If you are NOT clicking from an iOS device: https://podcasts.apple.com lets you see it right in your browser. Nice!
Incidentally, the hack podcasters have used for years to make Apple Podcasts auto launch—adding ‘?mt=2&ls=1’ to the show's URL—no longer functions, and Apple just opens the page on the web.

Trump is so weird and out-of-touch with the US population that he never even considered he’d be called on his years of his racist comments when speaking at the [checks notes] National Association of Black Journalists.
If there's one thing disadvantaged populations who have been the subject of years of systemic oppression from old white men love is when an old white man tells them he’s the best thing for them.

I was “the weird one” in my peer groups for the first ~35 years of my life. Now the vast majority of my friends are wierd as well.
I have always been OK being called weird. I take it as a compliment! I know being labeled weird is not a put-down.
However, #TFG and the MAGA-infested GOP absolutely hate it when they are labeled weird, so I’m all for it!

Also: the specter of “full-on socialism” is way more terrifying to low-information USians than I thought.
They can’t articulate any specifics of what they find terrifying, and when you refute some of their points with facts, the terror remains.
That fear is buried *deep* in their psyche. And since it wasn’t one they reasoned into, it’s very difficult to reason away.

Reflecting on Season 4 of The Boys which released the finale yesterday:
The creators must have taken a look around and thought “Oh, I guess we were too fucking subtle the first three seasons, so we’re going to be so fucking on the nose with S4 that it will be impossible to misinterpret!”
But, sadly, they will Iikely be proven wrong.

Her symptoms are mild, likely because we’ve had 6–7 mRNA vaccines. I’ll test myself on Sunday, but I’m already assuming she passed it along.

Thoughts on the ASL broadcast of the #NHL game tonight:
I loved almost all of it. I didn’t catch much of what the announcers were signing (my ASL is a notch or two below rudimentary), but watching their reactions and expressions was great!
And the rich stats displayed were fantastic!
What I didn’t love—and this will sound ableist as hell—was the 10-second delay between the video and the audio. Yes, I’m not the target audience. I’ll try again next—perhaps last—game. #hnom #StanleyCupFinals

But I agree with them on 1 point: Future presidents should be concerned about committing felonies while and before they are in office.

Nope. None of those.

Suggestions welcome!

A collection of shots and proof from today’s 34km #ebike ride from OHSO to OHSO to Starving Artists to home in midtown.

Because we USians don’t have enough political theater happening right now, the GQP-controlled House is self-immolating. Again.
