Have picked a blueberry or two, no local bear sightings yet. I’m 2.5 years in; if I had 2 more generations, I could be not “from away”

So, I get an email from my mom asking me to explain my political views. Oh, OK. Here is my manifesto. What could possibly go wrong?
I should have included a yummy recipe at the end. You know, something to focus on if she didn't know what to do with the rest of the email.

I was just thinking of this when I was given free cheese with my deli order this morning. Like, we were being told the healthy thing to do was grab a chunk of cheese from the fridge and snack away? Better than chips, I guess? The 70s and 80s were bizarre.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep.

1. Epic Poetry
2. Grammar, Style, and Composition
3. Science Fiction

The first two are based on a couple of decades of teaching World Literature, lol!

J.Rey @jensmind.bsky.social · 14d

That don’t look right. It’s giving me visual heartburn, lol

I don’t science often, but Trump, Oz, and RFK -.20 are full of shit.

It turns out that

1. having autism is correlated with prior gestation

2. that gestation is correlated with a pregnancy

3. pregnancy is a condition correlated with being a mammal

4. being a mammal is correlated with aches, pains, and fevers.

5. humans with aches pains and fevers take Tylenol.

NB: I do not like or trust this man; I'm just expressing shock at the fact that he's even nominally sticking up for free speech in the face of his paymasters, when ostensibly liberal institutions are folding like a fitted sheet (i.e., badly and messily).

I just… what the fuck is even happening

Altered "Jason Figured it Out" meme from the good place

Screenshot from The Good Place Season 2.
Panel 1: Jason's Face is replaced with Tucker Carlson, and the caption "I know this sounds Crazy, but I think Trump's Doin' A Fascism."
Panel 2: Michael, to Janet "*Tucker* figured it out? *Tucker*?!"
Panel 3: Michael, to Janet "This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts."

Imagine the trash comedy the right will bring to late night: "Women, am I right?" The thing about ______ people is" and of course, "heheh, gay". Yep, all the tired, lazy, punch down shit from the 80s with a dose of, "Why aren't you laughing? You must be a bitch if you don't think this is funny."
