Kitchen faucet fucking broke off this morning
Trying to find my zen and remember that in the grand scheme of things, only a couple of my ancestors had running water

I was forced to watch TV news when I had breakfast in a diner recently and I strongly resonated with the sentiment that being an intelligent person in America today is like being awake during a surgery.
Very chill plumber and business owner on one side, alcoholic veteran and auto plant guy on the other. We contain multitudes
Dishing out and then pulling back like this just doesn’t seem like a coherent set of moves designed to get better
I agree, but I would be cautious about attributing perfect rationality and foresight to NFL owners
sometimes a coworker will drop offhand a piece of lore that feels like finding an audio log in a survival horror game
At least it humanizes historical figures, some of whom were insufferable assholes
Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg are gonna see this article like the bat signal
Type of Guy theory of history is undefeated, and unfortunately “repugnant” is a common type
The real injustice is not recognizing Dr. as a name

After the 1981 lynching of Michael Donald (yes, 1981, not 1881) two unique things happened:
1. A klan member was executed for the murder of a black man
2. This particular klan group was bankrupted after subsequent civil lawsuits found it responsible for the actions of its members

Is it just Lake Wobegon?
I’m fascinated by the idea of a location on earth not exposed to geopolitics
So they knew that school was a school, huh
We should in fact maintain strict vigilance about "is it that you're against the bad stuff Israel is doing, or is it that you're a fucking antisemite???"
The Platner candidacy, at this point, seems pretty expressly premised on "no we shouldn't"
Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!
This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.
I’m at the old world dying, I’m at the new world struggling to be born, I’m at the combination old world dying and new world struggling to be born
The millennial psyche is fucked because our boomer parents enjoyed some of the easiest in this country’s history and pulled up the ladder behind them
Then we watched Gen X…idk, fritter away their chances? The country was run by boomers 30 years ago and it still is today
The economy crashed in 2008. We briefly had hope, as we entered college and the job market with obama steering the ship
…and then we grew up and started families in the shadow of the past decade’s turbo regressive reaction to a nice black center left president
We were kids in the 90s golden age, which abruptly ended with columbine and then 9/11, in which we saw 3000 people die on live tv
Our coming of age was against the backdrop of seemingly endless wars of aggression in the middle east, which became unpopular but semi-permanent
free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better
Fight vs hide dimension will dominate the left vs moderate axis of conflict in upcoming intraparty conflicts.

Single Stairways in Multifamily Housing Has an Assembly Hearing The State Assembly’s Housing and Real Estate Committee held a public hearing on January 21st for a bill that could loosen restrictions on single staircase construction for multi-unit housing (2025 Assembly Bill 784). APA-WI supports this important legislation to find common ground that could reduce construction and renovation costs while keeping residents safe. Our communities are struggling to provide needed housing, and we see the impact of construction costs on rents all the time when reviewing plans. People who would like to move closer to work, family, or friends, and for residents who can’t afford their current housing, could benefit from the passage of this legislation.
