"And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates.."

Can we cut them off the morning and stitch them back on the evening, like daylight savings time?

I'm a mourning person every day between sunrise and my third or fourth coffee.

Hey, I'm so sorry, that's really shitty. I can relate, and while it doesn't feel like it now, you'll come through this realizing you learned a lot about yourself, what you need, and what you'll compromise on during those years. It gets better. The shame is his, lean where you need to. Much love.

Never miss a chance to tell my favourite science joke:

Q: What did Crick & Watson discover?

A: Rosalind Franklin’s lab book.

Gavin Newsom comes out swinging against California billionaire tax Ballot initiative, opposed by the ultra-wealthy, would levy one-time 5% tax on individuals worth more than $1bn

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

A color photo of Anthony Bourdain, hands on folded arms, looking off into the distance. Under the photo is the quote: "Be a fool. For love. For yourself. What you think might possibly make you happy, even for a little while, whatever the cost or good sense might dictate."

Anthony Bourdain knew where it was at. When in doubt, ask WWABD.

Black and white photo of a WWII era motorcycle with a sidecar that incorporates a mortar on the back. The caption reads:
Me: I bought a "mortar cycle"
Wife: Don't you mean motorcycle?
Me: Did I stutter?

I love that when I Google something now, I get a long summary that *appears* authoritative. If I Google the exact same thing again immediately, I get a different summary that also *appears* authoritative.

Also, I don’t love this. Sarcasm? Yes. This? Not at all.

Wes Chatham as Amos from the SciFi series The Expanse. In the first image, he's looking stern, but calm, beside him are the words Space Billionaires (Adi.) (Noun).

The second image is Amos looking a little crazed, eyes wide, teeth bloodied, a look of apparent bloodlust, besides which are the words Space Billionaires (Verb) (Noun).

Anthropic says the Pentagon has declared it a national security risk After months of negotiations, the Defense Department cut off business with the leading AI company. Anthropic said it sees β€œno choice but to challenge it in court."

β€œAnthropic CEO Dario Amodei had wanted stronger guarantees the Pentagon would not use its AI technology for deadly autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance.” The DOD has
now designated Anthropic a β€œthreat to national security” & banned it from doing business w/ the military. 3/5/26 … 1/

The 'blue no matter who' crowd are so desperate they're turning themselves into pretzels trying to excuse Nazis. If he wore a t-shirt as a teenager it would be problematic, but this asshat tattooed that shit on his flesh. There's no explanation for this that's not disqualifying.
