Anybody read any engrossing, silly, decidedly unserious books lately? Ideally with a great audiobook? Like a real solid mind-vacation-from-the-horrors read?

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

As the resident Bluesky user and CPSC follower at your #July4th party, it is up to you to say stuff like, "That's not a good idea" and "Put that down" and even "The Consumer Product Safety Commission says someone dies doing that every year."

Care for us? True indeed! They ne’er car’d for us yet. Suffer us to famish, and their store-houses cramm’d with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act establish’d against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor.

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

If you draw, paint, game, embroider, 3d print? Do those, too. Because art makes the world worth being in.
This is not Camazotz. No matter how much the Heritage Foundation wants it to be. We are weird and messy and wonderful.
Survival alone is insufficient. Go forth with joy and fierce pleasure.

I am so happy for all of you seeing the aurora for the first time tonight! I'm probably too far south, so I won't get my hopes up too high. I am enjoying seeing all of your photos. So cool!

I love you and I want you to start your mushrooms in a dry pan. DRY. Med-high heat, flip when you start seeing beads of water on the faces of 2-3 slices (3-6 minutes depending on your stove & recklessness). 2-3 more minutes, then add butter/oil (&garlic/herbs if u want), 1-2 mins. Finish w salt.
