It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.
want to follow the news but can't bear thinking about ordinary Iranians, who've been stuck under such an oppressive regime for so long, who maybe got a flicker of hope, briefly, a few months ago, then watched in horror as their friends and relatives got killed by the state, and now this, unspeakable
It’s really more “people’s jobs/schools start and end an hour earlier“
No they were all at the St Bernard fish fry
We have discussed it 😅
I need an intercom from my office (downstairs) to my husband’s office (upstairs) because if I yell, my little dog is like “oh are we yelling?” and barks over me
Resume of my grandfather the mining CEO except old-timey
they used to have books where they told you the job history and home addresses of important people

One grandmother was a nurse and the other was a nurse then a lab tech
Is Newark not an option though? It’s not far from Philly
Spoiled for choice to see my family from here- Amtrak, driving, and flying are all reasonable, but getting the two of us to Idaho from Pittsburgh is just about always $500-600/pp
He expects Harrison to also give him the same tidbits and is often disappointed because Harrison is immune to the hungry stares of little dogs
He’s a big fan of the corners of pizza slices especially if they have a little sauce on them
(by this I mean YNAB, which is owned by a Mormon)
Paying an annual car insurance premium feels so powerful, thank you Mormon budgeting app for making this possible
I have been slightly worried about getting a big increase in homeowners insurance simply because of everything but it only went up $50 for the whole year and my car insurance actually went DOWN which was a novel experience
I have seen all of Friends and Seinfeld but only specific Simpsons episodes Harrison has shown me.
Like even if you're totally cool with the super illegal war of aggression, right? Exercising the power to oversee a war is arguably the most solemn responsibility a US Senator possesses. And they're treating it like fucking memelords.
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
I recognize I am an extremely rare holdout in that I have been so hardline anti-AI that I have still yet to use a chatbot willingly, but uh, I feel like every other story I read is about how all the consumer-facing stuff is a mental illness particle accelerator www.theguardian.com/technology/n...
Does my little dog love me best because I give him a little taste of everything I eat that is dog-safe, who knows. But he does know the sound of the cheese drawer opening in the fridge 💀
I like incense! But also please open the doors or windows because it makes some of us pass out and we should also be allowed to go to mass!!!
It has gotta be giant, I have never seen more houses decorated for St Patrick’s Day in my life
The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command.
The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.
Trump has launched a war of “fury,” to “raze” and “annihilate,” that has already killed dozens of Iranian girls, reportedly cost the lives of U.S. servicemembers, and will kill many more of both. He is acting without authorization by Congress and flouting international law.
I get that this is bad, but...it would also be very bad if Congress authorized it!

I’m very grateful to have had an older, very prepared mother who had worked through her issues with her parents and mostly did not perpetuate them. Am I sad my grandparents died young? Yeah. But my mother would have been a much worse mother in her 20s and grandparents wouldn't have made up for it
my grandparents had kids in their late 20s/early 30s and yes my mother had kids later but also they all smoked and died in their 60s and 70s. So I got between 0 and 11 years of grandparents time. If they hadn’t smoked it would have been longer!
Harrison took him for a walk to clean his paws in the snowmelt because we’d been using paper towels and wet wipes and making no headway
He did not do this last year! But he’s looking to cause some trouble this year I guess
