There is no thaw without the freeze.
The ferryman will have his fees,
So light your lamps and keep them bright
Against the cold and longest night.

For this we know: the fire burns.
The winter dies. The sun returns.
And all if we stand, and if we fight,
We can survive the longest night.

The wheel turns; the summer ends.
The light departs, the cold descends,
And we are left to hold the light
Against the cold and longest night.

The wind that howls around the door,
The tracks of snow upon the floor.
Reach for your loves and hold them tight
Against the cold and longest night.

Sex has seemingly never been less stigmatized or easier to procure. Why isn't Gen Z having more of it?
Are Young People Having Enough Sex?
Confronted with a Vegas buffet of carnality, Generation Z appears to be losing its appetite.

LAND OF THE LOST (1974-76) is the latest classic TV show to get a reboot by Netflix.

Sid and Marty Krofft "will produce the project" says Deadline, which is a good trick, since one of them is 95 and the other is dead.

If Walmart’s eating the tariffs, then what is the alleged purpose of the tariffs? To lower our national trade deficit with…Walmart?
Trump demands that Walmart “EAT THE TARIFFS” and not raise prices

Still the best example I have of someone who actually made their seemingly unreasonable childhood dream come true.
27. When I was contacted about writing the X-Men for Marvel, I legit cried, and couldn't speak coherently for more than an hour.

One thing I think we're missing in discussion of Commander deck power is speed. A deck that can pull off massive swings, but not until the player has eleven mana open, is very different than a turn three winner. Even if they're supposedly the same power level.

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass.

Fuck anyone who wants to invade Canada and/or Mexico

Fuck this administration
Etc, etc

"Our main principle will be personal liberties and freedom, and if you don't agree with me you're fired."
New: Jeff Bezos emailed staff at the Washington Post this morning announcing that the Post opinion pages going forward were largely going to focus on defending personal liberties and free markets. Current opinion section editor David Shipley is out.

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

Sure.

AND ALSO, they're not the only people who can be politicians.

Virtually everyone screaming that Democratic MoCs should be better politicians (some should, some are not getting credit) have a better platform to do politics themselves, including @brandonfriedman.bsky.social.
Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.*

There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.
CNN: Is democratic leadership is doing enough?

SENATOR JACKY ROSEN: I think that we have to realize that we're in the minority. They have the White House, they have the House, and they have the Senate. So the tools that are available to us here as legislators...they are limited.

“Have you tried not being autistic? Or just pretending you’re not? Just do that.”
“Curebies” love to try and be seen as solving problems that don’t exist for neurodivergents. The giveaway is that they don’t actually give a toss about our quality of life.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

It’s natural to feel scared or guilty or ashamed, that’s your soul telling you to stay alive and do the right thing. Trump and Musk are moving fast and life will get harder that’s a fact. However, through difficult and terrifying times the best in all of us can shine. Do what you can, don’t give up.
