"Americans prefer a car-dependent lifestyle."

I can't tell you how much I hate this glib sentiment. The only way to determine someone's true, enduring preference is to give them full familiarity with their options. Americans have no familiarity with their options! They've only seen sprawl!

Thank you. I was super confused about this announcement. The Strib has been working hard on a Target redemption tour

I had thought that the concept of neutrality in library cataloging had been mostly stamped out, but it cropped up again on a listserv last week.

First thing I thought of was Larry Craig's "wide stance"

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

tell everyone you know

And yet, we’re not the “real America”

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

And then hire them into the Trump administration

My @letterboxd.social pro subscription just renewed, and I'm shocked how inexpensive it is, for the benefit I get out of it. They did not pay me to say this

My point being, Meghan McCain is a POS, and the city smells like weed, can both be true

I have played both the Statue of Liberty and Adolph Hitler on stage (not at the same time)

I live in the Twin Cities and smell it all the time downtown and particularly on public transit. I feel like fewer people are actively smoking on the train, but when someone has been smoking and gets on, it permeates the space.

In the last 6 months I've done a 180 on my opinion about primarying safe Democratic seats. I can admit I was wrong that it's generally a bad idea (sorry, DNC)

Yes! Highly underrated film and performance

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

I keep seeing these articles, and they never admit or acknowledge the real reasons. It’s not gonna work until they do that

In retrospect, Hegseth should have been grilled in his confirmation hearing about his association with Doug Wilson

A house at night with Christmas decor still up. Window has a huge NO ICE lights display (red cross out circle in lights over the word ice in blue lights)

Seen in Minneapolis

He's one of my favorite people I follow here. Informative, well-reasoned, refreshing lack of hyperbole

They are not going to be able to find that many that actually want to come here

Saw an interview with one of the SA refugees who said the biggest difference in the US is he can't afford servants. "You have to do it all yourself"

Will delete because I misidentfied the guy in the back (but: you can't see him!). Thanks for the correction

Also, fuck Tom Emmer

ICE whistleblower comes forward to testify before Congress Ryan Schwank, a former ICE academy instructor, is expected to testify that ICE “is lying to Congress and the American people” about its training program.

Breaking MS NOW:

An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.

Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

I resent the pivot to video so much. I do not want to become an "on air personality." I do not want to boil everything down into little pithy viral slogans. I don't want to worry about my f'ing hair. I hate it all. Hate it.
