Re-upping this again: I wish more lefties could internalize the idea that hypocrisy is not a meaningful accusation to the right. Of course they're being hypocrites. That you are bound, by rules, standards, logic, human decency, some fundamental moral consistency, anything at all, and they are not? That is their conception of what power is, and why they seek it. So they can exercise power, without constraint, and you cannot.
That's the whole point.
Hypocrisy is the virtue-signaling of fascism.

At the yoga studio I go to this one teacher will have us do the half pigeon pose and she'll sometimes say "if you're craving a king pigeon, go for it" and I feel like "craving a king pigeon" could be some extremely online horny euphemism but I'm not sure what for
Seeing 1-year "fellowships" offering $10-20K stipends to artists and writers and honestly not sure how organizations can continue to do this in good conscience in the face of inflation

“She said over and over again, ‘Where are all the good people to put a stop to this?’ She felt like, how can you go through your entire life and then have something that you spent 50 years of your life doing just kind of trampled on like it’s meaningless?”
She died in midsentence, he said, at around 1:30 p.m.
shout out to @cstross for giving us more or less the original premise for the episode, which opens with clips from his 2018 CCC keynote!

don’t let the book ban people know I found this in a drawer at the library
Making a giant pot of chana masala for the week like I'm a broke vegan art student again
https://buttondown.email/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-33/ this week in sentences: every stone dreams, pee bottle Snorlax, wake up, piano sounds, (itself and every thing), the sacred spirit of lucidity
So hypothetically if I made karaoke style subtitles for a movie so that viewers could do a live fan dub, would it be funnier to do this to Titanic or Goodfellas

*columbo on the enterprise* The prime directive, huh? Sounds pretty important. I'm sure you guys are very careful not to break that one.

cannot believe that we taught rocks to whisper Secret Numbers so vast that their names have never before and will never be spoken again in the long span of human time, and we use them to key databases for e-commerce systems
They're playing CHVRCHES in Rite Aid???
https://observablehq.com/@lifewinning/cleaned-up-hillshade-generator sort of a hack but here is the cross-hatched hillshade map visualizations with cross-hatch bodies of water--because of the particular complexity of the river I'm using as an example I tesselate the water polygons but in theory you might not have to for a basic shoreline or something.
