THE STAMINA PRAYER
God grant me the stamina never to accept the things I cannot change, and a fucking brick, and the wisdom to know when to throw it.

Magician: “Look! There’s a quarter behind your ear!”
CEO: “Let’s do this at scale!”
@nixCraft I misread that, “why-else”, and now I want that
@Aleums Are you me?
@realTuckFrumper @HistoPol Honest question: Do we think enough Trump backers took short positions that this is not actually bad news for them?
I continue to think the straightest path to improved indoor air quality is for Apple to build a CO2 detector and app into iphones and then let white people do their usual gamified entitlement thing.
I am a hunter gatherer, in the sense that I am hunting serotonin and would gather it if I found it.
@thehill @GottaLaff Face-eating leopards eating the faces of the people who got the leopards elected? Loooooool
@jeffowski @LillyHerself Yes but also: “My gender is untreated pathologies” sums up masculinity nicely.
@Free_Press @HistoPol I laughed so hard my dog got worried.
My doctor told me to stop drinking back at the start of October, and that has been going okay—notwithstanding that I HATE the holidays—but I have learned that I only ever had one tool for dealing with anxiety, and I have now given that up.

@teledyn I briefly thought this was a dub reggae producer inexplicably named The Boy and the Heron.
@rejinl @dgar My current answer is, “The more math and science you learn in high school, the more options you have after high school. If we didn’t teach you this stuff, we’d be saying, ‘These kids will never need to fly very high: let’s give them turkey wings instead of eagle wings.’ That would make us assholes, right?”
Skimming the NYT:
“Travis Kelce Was a Star. Taylor Swift Put Him in Another Orbit.
Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has won two Super Bowls and hosted Saturday Night Live. But nothing compares to his brush with the Swift aura.”
Me: “Football is still a thing? Saturday night live is still a thing? <straining> Taylor Swift is a singer, right?”
“Republicans are so hostile to laws protecting the safety and well-being of children that they've even blocked the U.S. from ratifying the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, making ours the only nation in the world that doesn't recognize the human rights of children.” https://www.salon.com/2023/09/08/another-christian-influencer-arrested-for-child-abuse-why-conservatives-keep-falling-for-these-cons/ via @e_urq
