Another entry in the great rush toward caffeinated protein slop of all flavours and textures. Drinks, crisps, gloops, etc.

Emphasis marks, as people often call them, for β€œlivening up the prose.”

Is my employment situation really the only thing holding me back from being an imminent threat? Strange Saturday afternoon revelations…

I know that Israel’s insistence on carrying out one horror after another is no surprise at this point, but it remains both disgusting and depressing.

A little tense, a little tense! But what a result…

Have to say I’ve been hugely enjoying the return of low/no-stakes spring training baseball. Makes a nice contrast to sweating through the end of a premier league game.

There's hundreds of elementary and middle and high schools on US military bases all over the world which are, to hear it from way too many Americans, also valid military targets

This guy conveniently loses those elbows of his when it’s time to bomb some school kids.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies β€” the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.

Thinking maybe Mitski should do a full album that’s entirely about cats and dogs, like Mirah did with insects.

"Eight Palestinian menβ€”shackled for the entire journey by their wrists & anklesβ€”were flown from [AZ] & arrived in Tel Aviv the following morning after refueling stops in New Jersey, Ireland, & Bulgaria.... Some had been detained in ICE facilities for weeks; at least one was held for over a year."

There’s these Mossa & Pleiti books that are good for that…
But also, on a totally different note, I find the Adrian Bell Countryman’s Notebook series from Slightly Foxed very comforting, if gentle reflections on farming and nature sound like something you might like. Enjoyed Winter & reading Spring.

If we’re celebrating the small wins, I’m pleased to report that I successfully opened the milk carton today after a recent run of unfortunate mishaps.

Watching unimpressed as Gollum dives in and comes up with a fish: I could have done that.

Wouldn’t be struggling so badly finding a job if hadn’t lost those gills.

I somehow hadn’t noticed the degree of turnover over there. That’s a lot of change at the heart of the team! Hope it turns out to be a fun season for you though.

Absolutely! On the plus side, at least we’re getting further and further away from those YouTube broadcasts.
Hope you enjoy Bichette. Not exactly the most engaging public speaker, but I will miss watching him hit.

Is there anyone who actually wants all these things to be β€œhyper-personalized” and pedalled at them specifically? It sounds terrible.

Is it baseball yet

It’s a proven method! There’s a liquor store nearby that gives out treats and I’ve seen dogs practically drag their people in after them.

I know current standards are working their way down from the sub-basement to the haunted caverns below and people were quite high on that speech, but we can’t afford Carneys anymore.

There it is. A little β€œMeow revoir!” to close it out, and the job’s practically done.

Once they’ve adjusted the tone or focus nobody will even notice.

I appreciate the ready abundance of washrooms in Fallout 4.

Lil before-bed request to check out my fashion + space opera anthology!! Would be really grateful for folks to back it. We are 8 days away from wrrapping up and have $4k to go.
