something neither of us knew was broken will be fixed and the only clue will be a Home Depot receipt on the table

Indiana and Oregon are throwing old-school B1G body blows down after down.

I stopped being a fan of MLB years ago but at this point I’m genuinely concerned for the health of friends and neighbors because the Mariners keep Marinering.

If you’re wondering what I’m talking about - in 1970 the State of Oregon used 20 cases of TNT on a beached whale carcass, and, well… there’s video: youtu.be/yPuaSY0cMK8

beaches are for long walks with dogs and blowing up beached whale carcasses, dammit.

There are only two options:

- we all have rights

- none of us have rights

Pick one.

Even this generic cis white guy understands that eventually they’d come for me. So stand up now.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

I’m halfway through It Was Her House First and it’s great.

October Spooky Reads: It Was Her House First by @cheriepriest.com

I maintain Cherie is at her best when she is writing about hauntings, and here she interweaves past and present to deliver a ghost story with a delightful ending. It's almost cozy creepy? Is that a genre? A+ pacing & characters.

I’m sure all 12 people with Vision Pros at home will be excited.

We have and it’s not just colleges. It’s pervasive in software software and there are entire AI content farms doing sports “news” and the garbage is making me crazy.
