Young people feel like we've lost agency over our lives. We can't *really* pick where to live, or whether to change jobs, or how many kids to have -- the cost of living makes us feel trapped.

Hey that’s me and I want you only
Don’t turn me home again
I just can’t face myself alone again

@danbernstein.bsky.social you gotta open the mic Monday and just let @mattabbatacola.bsky.social rant about how this game is just another example of how much ND sucks, as a concept. Lay out and let him cook.

This is wrong because it starts with the premise that a lot of people are doing either of these things.
A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

They're making a musical, called TRUMP. There'll be a long arc about the denouement of the first term and the comeback of 2024. There's a number about MTG resigning, just like the one about Jefferson resigning in HAMILTON.

I have a friend who caught an isolated case from a backyard flock exposure, in a manner of speaking.
appears to be an isolated case from a backyard flock exposure. risk to the public is low.
i know CDC can’t be trusted anymore, but “low” is the right assessment here. as usual, the state is leading the investigation and remains a reliable source of information

The Cubs now have 30 guys on their 40-man roster. For those battling the math, that’s 10 fewer than the maximum. Even after non-tender day, eight teams are at 40 and no one else is at less than 32 (Phillies). Active offseason ahead.

A bit more than projected, but not a shock. Will play a bigger role in 2026 than he has thus far as a Brewer, if he stays healthy.

A good personality type test question: who comes the closest to being a legit hero on The Wire?
Obviously, it’s not a show with heroes. It makes damn sure of it. But who you think comes nearest probably says something about your worldview that I would want to know.

There’s an AutoZone right by my house where working on your car in the lot is closer to *encouraged*. There are also vans coming out of that place at like 4 AM every day. I suspect it’s a major drug operation disguised as an AutoZone. Anyway.
