@GottaLaff The Washington Post drops "Democracy Dies in Darkness" from its banner, while CNN picks up "Democracy Only Exists in Darkness."

@tiffanycli I think you misread The New Gilead Age

@molly0xfff Given that @annaleen was inspired to write "The Future of Another Timeline by the often-sexist edit wars on Wikipedia as it was over five years ago, I shudder to think about the next stage of brotastic shittiness that will be deployed in the name of their dear leaders Trump and Musk.

@robey
one of us usually tells the truth
the other sometimes lies
but if we told you which was which
we'd spoil the surprise!

@gamingonlinux I decided over the weekend to give #Palworld a try again on the desktop. Public servers are still suffering from ridiculous restrictions where you set up a character, get started, and then the first time you try to set a palbox you're told the world has hit its base maximum -- that happened to me three times.

So I joined an open community server on LinuxGSM. Quiet, no more than 3/6 players at once. Got to level 28, built a second base. Then server owner put a password on it.

@skinnylatte @aetataureate @catsalad @jovikowi I like Lee Kum Kee too, but my first love is Yamasa, and San-J is fine in a pinch.

The other thing to note is that shoyu and "soy sauce" are supposed to be different. Shoyu has a lighter flavor, is gluten free, and is meant for use after cooking, while what most Americans know as soy sauce has wheat added, and is heavier, so it holds up better under high heat.

@eff Elon is counting on at least four years of selective enforcement

@evan Yes, and I only use it for my job,. nothing else. The days of using work addresses for anything personal ended for me when gmail was launched.

@evan I do far too much shitposting to want my employer associated with it, or for them to find my posts.

I still don't know what "based" really means, but if Elon Musk says something isn't it, it must be good.

@godpod Stupid social contagion theory. They think being poor is a contagious disease, when it's actually no more contagious than becoming a billionaire.

@skinnylatte All the Krispy Krunchy outlets around here are in gas stations so, between that and my innate distrust of any place that uses alliterative K's, I've never tried it.

@skinnylatte The only chicken chains I'll go to in the US are Popeyes and Crown, but we do have one Jolibee in northeast Philly that's worth an occasional pilgrimage. (TBH though, I mostly crave the peach mango pies.)

Waiting for numbers from the regional and national #drought monitors after this past week's rains, but the result is probably going to be "not enough."

@lerxst @whknott @mekkaokereke Yep, this is a key design theme of Robert Moses's work, making bridges across the thruways on Long Island and going upstate too low for buses to carry Black people from the boroughs out to the upper class suburbs. Robert Caro mentions it a couple times in "The Power Broker."

@lerxst @whknott @mekkaokereke He's really only been dead just over 40 years, and it's been less than 50 since he retired. Even worse, after giving up the parks and highways, he spent a couple years in the 1970s as an advisor on public housing.

@lzg That photo barely does it justice, though, considering where it lives on the High Line. https://www.designboom.com/art/aluminum-pigeon-dinosaur-ivan-argote-high-line-plinth-new-york-sculpture-07-31-2024/

This is a timeline cleanser every #DoctorWho fan needs: Tom Baker covered in #kittens!

@mekkaokereke I've actually managed not to see Colin Farrell or Christin Miloti in anything else before now. They and Rhenzy Feliz were incredible!

And the show was so well written that I forgot my pledge to swear off sociopaths. In terms of quality (and rabblerousing), The Penguin is to the DC universe what Andor is to Star Wars.

Democrats told us for years that they couldn't get rid of the filibuster because they might need it when they're in the Senate minority. Well, they'd better spend the next 2-4 years filibustering every goddamned shitsack piece of legislation the GOP brings up.
