Free floating anxiety is the worst. Especially in a world where there's so much to be anxious about. I've got more than enough real anxiety - what does it think it's adding?

nigel farage tweet: The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.
i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”
Meanwhile, in Vermont…
People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it?
#Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington
From a thread about great Douglas Adams quotes. I think about this one *a lot* these days.
I am, once again, sick. What is with this winter? I slept until 11 and I'm already tired again.
??? why is RFK Jr. going to the doctor for a surgery when he could simply eat a variety of weird meats at his injury
Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.
The president of the United States meeting the coffins of soldiers he's had killed to amuse himself while wearing a white baseball cap and, I don't know, counting his fingers...? Meanwhile, the wraith he's married to is demonstrating her customary compassion for anyone who's not her.
I don't suppose that there's some sort of...context...for this.
What a lovely day! I remembered chores and did them, picked up prescriptions, visited two comic book stores, got ice cream with my family... Sometimes life is pretty exceptional.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
I held a thought in my head from when I woke up to walking all the way downstairs without forgetting and then did the minor associated chore - Saturday is already a success!
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
At times like these it always helps to read some William Butler Yeats
Why is every shirt I've bought in the last two years so short? They never look short in the ad. I have a short torso and it's too much, who is this for?
Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
I knew I was doing something wrong!
Below a button that reads "shop incraftables yarn and crochet kits" is an AI generated image of two hands holding mismatched, hook-less crochet hooks as though they were soldiering tools over an incomprehensible piece of knitted fabric.
What in the AI is going on in this picture on the Michael's website? I guess they aren't kidding about these kits being incraftable.
Several painted, ceramic figurines of gnomes, frogs, and bunnies on the mossy roof of a small shed.
Okay, the rest of my walk was fine. It's a beautiful day, there were so many birds happily chirping away, and I came across these happy little fellows.
Walking home from the bus stop, already out of breath after two blocks. I'm gonna be a real whiner on the death march to the gulag.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
I've periodically been testing LLM tools for legal work.
With the sole exception of Westlaw's ai search and 50 state survey tools, everything I've tested still costs time compared with baseline.
And even the two exceptions save time only because I'm using them in limited ways.
Listen this is some next level trolling.
It’s not just that Charlie Kirk is up there. It’s who he’s with.
Catherine Beecher, while an advocate for women’s education, also fiercely opposed women’s suffrage and wanted women’s political power to be mostly constrained to their role as mothers.

On March 5 at 9:30 am, City Council is having a work session on the close to $106 million in unbudgeted Portland Housing Bureau funds. Graphic with picture of City Hall, "On deck at City Hall."
Hey Portland: this coming Thursday, March 5, we’ll be having a work session on the unbudgeted housing funds.
We know that there have been a lot of questions about the close to $106 million that’s been discovered, and we hope this work session will help answer most of them.
Reminder: you have until March 13 to fill out my budget survey! More than 200 East Portlanders have already let me know their budget priorities.
Our top three neighborhoods represented so far are Hazelwood, Pleasant Valley, and Powellhurst-Gilbert!
Every person who voted for the current administration should have to pass a media literacy test and a high school civics test before they're allowed to vote again.
Who am I kidding, that won't help. They voted for the fascists because they like the fascists. Americans can be so hateful.
It feels like the beliefs around salt intake in older folks (raises blood pressure) are different than those in young people (electrolytes for everyone, all the time).
