She also said she was going to probably piss a lot of people off. A political faux pas perhaps, but I appreciate the moxy.

So’s the haircut.

Season 2, episode 1, Be Right Back.

Red Letter Media’s final thoughts on the state of Star Wars were pretty insightful: It’s become a container with a very specific aesthetic that Disney can pile an infinite number of things into: multi-quadrant science fiction blockbusters, preschool cartoons, carnival rides, political dramas, kids adventures, whatever.

It’s since stopped being a finite thing anyone can love anymore. When something becomes everything, it loses distinctness. That distinctness, whatever it was, is what early fans originally fell in love with.

Of course, those original objects still exist, but you have to specify them. You’re an “original trilogy” fan or an Andor fan or the made-for-TV Ewok movies fan†, but saying you’re a Star Wars fan is basically meaningless now. And for people who proudly wore that mantle, through eyerolls and ridicule, that’s a genuine loss.

† Teek from Battle for Endor has a posse.

As of 2019, members who participated in the congressional pension system are vested after five years of service.

Elected in Dec 2020, sworn in January 3 2021. Re-elected Nov 2024, resigning effective January 5 2026, mere days after her pension eligibility kicked in.

She’s a fucking grifter. End of story.

It’s number 1.

She’s ridden the ride long enough to do speaking engagements and political commentary for as long as she can remain entertaining. Also book deals, but that depends if she can scare up a ghostwriter who’s willing to attach their name to her.

That is a “call me whatever you want, like I give a shit” move, locked in with some uninvited and unreciprocated back-slapping. Slimy.

Ain’t no rule!

Ok, emails mostly. I have received a few letters though! Public service employers can be old fashioned that way.

For context:

Half a dozen members of Congress who previously served in the military or intelligence community are urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey illegal orders that might be issued by President Donald Trump’s administration. Democratic lawmakers Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan said the “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home,” and repeatedly urged the military and intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.”

The video was posted on twitter, but I’m attaching it below.

I always optimize for most even weight distribution within 12- or 18-egg containers. It makes the containers more stable when closed for moving them between the counter and the refrigerator.

Those egg trays are too floppy to handle.

I think he can write whatever unenforceable executive orders he wants. Enforcing them could be illegal, which would make them unenforceable executive orders.

Nothing quite crushes the soul like customizing a resume and cover letter for a job at a company, getting turned down via form letter, then see that same job listing posted a week or two later.

Except having every company in town do it to you.

For over two years.

It’s not a burnt hot pocket it’s a smudge ok?

This is precisely what the fascists want. They want people rioting so they can take pictures of cities on fire and use it as justification to escalate.

Mass action: yes. But people need to be smart about it.

General strike. Hunger strike.

Hell yeah!

I don’t know if this would be possible given the bounty’s requirements.

Let’s say you come up with some new firmware for the fridge that replaces all the hostnames on the advertising calls with ‘localhost’. Great. But if all other features on the device need to keep functioning, including any phone-home firmware update functionality, the fridge will re-enshitify itself on its next update. It either needs new fridge hardware (not allowed in the bounty requirements) or some kind of network container (like pi-hole, also not allowed).

So the entire bounty is an exercise in futility. But… perhaps that’s the point.

This is a demonstration of why the law, as written, is fucked and needs to be changed. I think that may be the main point.

UBI so the landowner class can raise the cost of living, food and materials for living.
