today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

It takes a certain kind of…narcissistic nihilism to look across the country at people self-organizing against something that is generally a fairly good material symbol of the intangible class warfare that has alienated them and say, “what a silly distraction from what *really* matters.” And yet…

Ranch Dressing Ranch dressing is Americana.

Friends! I almost missed National Ranch Dressing Day.

If you've already brushed your teeth, you can celebrate by listening to Curious Nebraska.

Oh, the flickers. We are replacing cedar siding because of the flickers. Our dog springs to action when he hears one.

But with the bark attached! That's a whole 'nother level!

Stink ‘friends’ (not stink bugs) One of the early signs of fall in our household is the first appearance of a western conifer seed bug on a windowsill inside. In years when the population of this insect is booming (especially insi…

Western Montanans know the curse of the neverending stink friends and flies this winter. It never got cold enough to kill them off.

My vacuum permanently smells like green bananas.

Keep in mind that it’s not just the cost of filling *your* tank which is skyrocketing…the cost to every *truck driver* is also spiking, which means the cost of whatever they’re transporting will go up as well…

"What is that?"
"Oh, that's my extra phone."
"Why do you need an extra phone?"
"All the apps no longer fit on my original one. At least, not since I downloaded this app which tells me exactly how many spiders are living in my house and randomly awards one of them a 'Spider Of The Week' award."

Donald Trump combining in one week the worst crises of the Jimmy Carter (oil prices/inflation), Reagan (Iran-Contra), HW Bush (massive deficit), Clinton (Epstein-related), George W. Bush (Iraq debacle) Barack Obama (Libya) & Biden (the economy is fine/doddering) presidencies is quite an achievement

Giant pickup at the grocery store had a sticker saying, "Don't blame me. I voted for Trump." 🤔

I’m still stymied by the fact that large swaths of America will accept the worst women in leadership roles like Bondi & Noem but are mortified of voting for great women leaders with the bonafides who are exceptionally skilled, competent, intelligent, informed and qualified.

The proton thing feels like the signal thing feels like every other time someone got on the internet and went "aha now THIS is a tech company I can 100% trust w/o reading their FAQ or understanding how they work, thank god I can stop worrying" and this is why I don't actually like "secure" methods

Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory.

The female scientist says 
“Analogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?”

The male scientist replies
“That's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!”

They step out onto a balcony. She says:
“Please tell me you haven't built a library zeppelin” 

This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds
“It's got a fax machine!”

Ambition and motivation are at a hard zero today.

And I've gotta get the house cleaned and gumbo made before a small surgery and my birthday party next week.

Bleh.

There is something deeply wrong with these people. And there is something deeply wrong with the country that let's them wield so much power.

I, who was then in professional bartender mode, had to turn away and compose myself, and almost had to step out from behind the bar. Because it had hit me in that moment, the reason for the tears: "This is what women could be if the world weren't shaped by awful men." 4/x
