i really want to say the Dolderbahn because it’s a cog railway but my girlfriend broke her knee when we were ice skating at the top of it, so instead i’ll say the S10 to the top of Üeitliberg, the Seattle Center Monorail, and the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry

it's that time of year when a bunch of people start pretending their personal distaste for the avatar franchise can bend reality in their favor against the inevitable tide of james "big jim" cameron's next guaranteed blockbuster smash hit. you can ignore them, they are fools

since everyone’s posting about pies i figured i should share the three i made last year. Coffee Maple Chess Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and Marionberry Pie. I think the marionberry had dairy free crust using crisco instead of butter and it was definitely the best crust

If Democrats brush off a Nazi tattoo as an innocent mistake, they're abandoning the ability to make effective arguments against Nazis across the aisle. It'd be an unforced error that would taint the party for generations, and rightly so.

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.
Total federal spending is up +7% in 2025 over 2024 year-to-date to Oct 20.

The story that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere.

Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.
