I’ll never forget watching NZ come out of lockdown and seeing people hug each other while I was still sanitizing groceries.

So we should stage an insurrection to prevent him from taking power right?

Right?!

Oh, no, we’re gonna just act like this isn’t an existential threat like you’re saying.

So why should I believe you when you say something is a threat?

Damn city folk ruining the countryside tellyahwat

Subnautica is so immersive I’d find myself holding my breath if I was running low on oxygen as if it would help.

I’d let them try out an excavator as long as I got a turn, too.

I bet this will go as well as when they tried creating Air America to combat right wing talk radio.

You know what was surprisingly woke? Smokey & The Bandit.

You’d think the truckers would be all white guys, and they’d be casually racist through the whole thing since it’s the 70s. But it wasn’t. Truckers of all shapes and sizes. And the main trucker character is friends with black people.

In the 70s. In a trucker movie. Set in The South.

Survive? No, thrive

Bootlicker.

Totally. And have a microwave with programmable settings. And make an induction cooktop with <1 second pulse width modulation and probe thermometers. A dishwasher with a detergent dispenser. Open source the plans, build them without plastic parts that break and fall off.

I’m lucky because my family yells about politics but we’re just loudly agreeing with each other and getting more incensed

If I had millions I’d buy some land and build a space for artists and musicians to come and hang out and make things.

If I had billions I’d disrupt the appliance industry because I can’t find any decent appliances.

It looks like what mail trucks would look like in Back to to the Future II.

Companies can hide price increases behind tariffs and make tons of money. They didn’t tell anyone because they want those sweet 25Q1 and 25Q2 profits. After that it’s someone else’s problem.

Thanks for bringing one of my favorite Pete Seeger songs to mind

Melania, then Elon

It’s a response to the phenomenon where seemingly no matter what you buy, no matter where you buy it, somewhere along the supply chain someone got hurt or got taken advantage of, and the environment was most likely hurt as well.

I call this the Doug Fawcett Principle

If I’m spending 10 minutes walking between buildings and then an hour sitting in them I’d rather be comfortable for the longer amount of time.
