it's about the same way I read Japanese (I am not very good at reading Japanese!)

it's a real tough race between vape pens and sports gambling apps, in my mind

My theory of victory was "Trump gets the GOP to cave and nuke the filibuster" but tbf if that did happen I'm not sure people on here would be much happier

I'm not even sure it is. if we give up for literally nothing what message does that send to voters besides "dems made you miss your flights for no reason"

"wadokei" or "seasonal time" are the search terms I'm aware of. the clocks were very cool! but also it almost certainly wouldn't work as a modern time system because hours being a non consistent lengths would drive people crazy

I think about this post every day

yeah you're moving an hour from the morning where you're likely asleep anyway to the evening where you're awake

kind of makes me think there was something to the pre-modern Asian clocks where they would fudge with the hours to always keep sunrise at the same time

the two kinds of bluesky poster are "guy who makes the most esoteric post you've seen in your life" and "guy who would be confused by the instruction to 'turn left'"

yeah this was honestly a pretty decent article I thought and I get why a fashion reporter would want to do something topical but also what an indictment of the rest of the paper that this is better than most of their coverage

I think everyone needs some variant of these two. I'm actually a little more of a skeptic so my wordings would be "the rules by which whatever 'world' we perceive operates are consistent" and "honest descriptions of sense data are axiomatically True" but the same effect overall

Everyone in the multi-racial right-wing populist coalition gangsta until the governing actually starts

😭😭😭

So much time, ink, & nonsense spilled explaining why the smallest pandemic/inflation-driven anti-incumbent backlash in the entire democratic world was a Paradigm Shifting Tidal Wave Of Crisis For The Democrats. Incredibly parochial in so very many ways.
