It's been discussed more in the context of the Manosphere, but: A consequence of being fully submerged in the Trump-era for over a decade is that an entire generation of reactionary-minded men (mostly) have come of age in a social landscape where shamelessness & cruelty are aspirational traits.

at a certain point I feel like people are daring, evening begging, god and the universe to visit nightmares upon them and those around them. some dim part of some of them may clock the evil that sustains their comfort, and they transmute that energy into such monstrous and caricaturish displays

Friendly neighborhood actuary reminding you to BE CAREFUL if you have to commute tomorrow. I'm not one for clock change rhetoric but the increase in car accidents is real and a big part of it is that you feel like you know where the sun/your blind spots are on your commute but they jump!

France became the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away unsold food. Lawmakers passed the Loi Garot, which requires all grocery stores larger than 400 square meters to donate edible food to charities and food banks instead of sending it to landfills.

“It has to do with riverboats! West Saint Paul is south of downtown along an east-west jog of the Mississippi but the riverboat navigators declared anything on the left of a riverto be west. Anything behind was deemed ‘south’ thus South Saint Paul which is southeast of downtown next to West Saint P”

hello I called dozens of neon and neon repair shops across the country to see what they had to say about sadness, the moon, and how to encounter the memories of what we once had but no longer have

NEON MOON IS SAD! VOTE NOW! KATE BUSH IS FORMIDABLE!

This was a great read! When I moved to St. Paul from Tuscaloosa there was a huge campaign to stop them from building a “massive” 5,000 person arena (there were lawn signs!) & I found it so quaint

For my St Paul people! I remain skeptical as a whole but that does not deny the fact that the new arena is absolutely incredible & should be the gold standard for any small liberal arts college

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
