I don't need a mattress or wellness app to tell me how I slept.

Must everything be quantified in the pursuit of a perfect life? It's a trap. Sleep goals, work goals, parenting goals, fitness goals, mindfulness goals, et fucking cetera, measured and presented clinically for you to stress over.

Not for me.

Michael, this link says "unavailable in Europe" and I'm in the US, within spittin distance of Cobb Co.

⚖️ The extralegal confiscation by "Law Enforcement" of a newspaper's entire information infrastructure, plus a couple snaps of their bank statements, just for shits and giggles, occurred in Marion, Kansas on Friday, August 11, 2023.

The important point isn't who's a poseur, but what message Jason Aldean was sending to the like-minded "We're not gonna take it anymore" disaffecteds. I live behind the red curtain in MAGAmerica, and everyone—everyone—listens to Country and would fist-bump Aldean and thank him for the song, if they could.

They're the core audience for the music, whether they drive a pick-up or a Tesla. It's #MAGAMusic.

Y'all come visit—have a look around.

What is the source of this information about the under-NDA meeting of admins and META, please?

#MicahLee dragged "#Mastodon" as "notoriously confusing" to use and #BlueSky as having "great" vibes.

Would y'all like the @ s of some not-white, cis het #Fediverse members for whom #BlueSky's "vibes" ain't so great?

The platform has a moderation problem. A severe one.

As for "Mastrodon" being tough to join: how about #CalKey or #PixelFed or one of the other platforms in the #Fediverse?

Somehow we expect more from The Intercept, but no.

🎬 I've watched parts of "The Lunchbox" (2013) several times since it's been in rotation at Starz. The movie is on now. Stories and dreams are shared between two strangers, as is good food made with love—but none in the way you might guess.

It's in Hindi and English with subtitles. A brilliant film. Despise this "Hollywood" trailer that belies the quiet beauty of the film.
