It's bizarre to me how many people in the comments here seem to think that automation is going to translate into more freedom for the working class.
When has that ever panned out? How much leisure time do you have, after years of these "innovations"? We are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain thatβs designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are βjust circling backβ to see if we can βmove the needleβ on βkey initiativesβ? NONE of those things are berries.

Hideous building, but googled the architects and they also built the Logan Center at UChicago, so I look forward to the stories about how the building leaks, the electrical doesn't work, and it's half held together with like 1/2 inch screws.
Yes I am aware that he is a politician. Yet these days when a cis person says in public that they love trans children (or any trans people, really) I choke up a little bit
We better get some roller disco out of all this
we need more places where he can exist in public without being expected to buy anything, not fewer
I propose that in october we permanently shift all clocks back by only 30 minutes & then fucking leave them there forever after. And if you think that's somehow more absurd than the DST/SDT dance, please take a deep breath and remember that clock time is fake & was invented for trains. It'll be fine
markovchaingang hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market" markovchaingang alright, alright. you can talk about the clothes that damian was wearing. but only if you promise to define what each article of clothing actually is, ideally describing the materials they're typically made from also
Iβve definitely thought about buying and storing physical newspapers
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the muffins are bad
Dare Graham Platner to talk with Isaac Chotiner, tell him he would be a huge wuss if he doesn't
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
Oh, and, of course there are Moroccan spice oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. How could I forget part one of things I'm doing to work out the anxiety I def don't have.
Also I hit a PB on... I was about to say squats but honestly everything in the gym today.
In related news, I'm not stressed, please don't put it in the paper that I'm stressed.
We're subbing rolled oats, white sugar + molasses, 1/2 olive oil 1/2 vegetable oil (recommended in the comments), frozen mixed berries, and buckwheat flour.
I'm also just staring down my oven because I'm currently baking banana bread in it and waiting for the space to free up.
Things this muffin recipe needs: quinoa, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, bananas, honey, dark brown sugar, egg, olive oil, vanilla, blueberries
Things I don't have: quinoa, dark brown sugar, olive oil, blueberries, whole wheat flour
With all the subs is this even the same recipe?
I wish this quote wasnβt still so relevant

Man who's only studied one region of art history: man, getting some real Mario de Andrade vibes from this...
