This book is good as hell, and the audiobook is also really well done. It actually jump scared me a couple times, which is not something I'm used to getting from a novel!
The 50% off sale at Barnes and Noble is still going on! I think through 1/31. A great deal on The October Film Haunt and tons of other hardcovers.

mandatory trainings seem unusually dire this year. the narration for the first one switched back and forth between two different voices frequently, including several times mid-sentence, and once mid-word

the best burger and best milkshake, by a long shot, is in Fields, OR, a town a million miles from anything, with a population in the high single digits
Here’s a topic outside the news.

What’s the most unlikely place you’ve ever had the best particular food or drink you’ve ever had?

Like, not the best steak at the world’s top steakhouse. Something weirder.

Best burger I’ve ever had? Fresno airport.

Best cup of coffee? Crater Lake Lodge.

Went to the John Le Carre exhibition today and was pleased to learn that the greatest spy novelist of all time in addition to bleak epics of gnawing doubt and tragic moral compromise liked to doodle little animals getting fucked up.

Hey, I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong! Rest in piss, Scott!
My assumption with Scott Adams is that he's lying so after Biden dies he can say some shit like "look, my strict regimen of methylene blue and hypnosis let me beat the same cancer that Biden was too weak to fight!"

Finally caught up to the point in Berserk where the Dreamcast game I played in 1999 takes place, so I finally have context for who any of those characters were, what they were doing, and why.

but if they make it EXPLICITLY legal to depict Washington with his balls out, that makes it IMPLICITLY ILLEGAL to depict Ben Franklin hanging brain, and I don't think anyone wants to live in that world
congress should make it explicitly legal to depict george washington with his balls out, repost when you agree

My righteous, principled stance of "not really knowing what instagram is" pays off yet again
Instagram reportedly had a data breach that exposed the personal information of 17.5M users

The leak includes usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses and more

there's a couple people here with signs that say "impeach noem, abolish DHS, defund ICE" and i love the energy but there's a bit of an order of operations error in there
If you want to protest and you're concerned that Portland might be a little tear-gassy for your tastes, Salem usually stays a little more sedate and I think having a big crowd outside the capitol building would be good

Were there two fucking drivers seats, you lying fucking swine? (not you, Robert, this is addressed to the pig that shot them)
The source that informed me of this said the Border Patrol officer in question claimed the victims were trying to run him over in their car, which is why he shot.
KATU has confirmed CBP agents shot two people in Portland
