Parallel: Teaching contemporary American literature to undergrads in 2019 was utterly bizarre because they hadn’t lived through 9/11. So much stuff went over their heads. There’s just a disconnect you’re always going to have because of lived experience and cultural changes. It’s your job, especially in a philosophy course, to orient them to differing schools of thought and go “oh, I didn’t think about it that way.” And correct them on Nietzsche, because they’re always fucking wrong about Nietzsche.

Wafflestomp emporium

I like to help a Tesla out by throwing it batteries, Philly style.

Well well well, if it isn’t that bridge in the rearview mirror that we were told wouldn’t be crossed but was also set on fire for good measure. And who could’ve seen my rep needing another $5 because it’s really dire this time, you guys.

Any homeopathic group or moms advice group.

Yes, his Boy Harem.

Vinegar (app)/vinegar extract (if you’re using adblockers) and safari. You can get rid of ads and support a small developer for like $2 I think.

Ah I remember that. Forever burned into my brain: “Eighteen naked cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch…”

It’s delicious. Use the real maple syrup. Also Pennsylvania “chicken and waffles” is a culinary abortion.

As much as there can be, minus the bedroom which needs complete control over how much light is allowed. Side note: one of the most interesting house designs of the mid-century is called an Eichler — the design had floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, open floor plans, and sometimes an atrium in the middle with sliding glass door entrances to make as much use of natural light as possible.

Spinal Tap. The reactions to it are telling enough: allegedly Steven Tyler didn’t think it was funny, and the Edge just wept.

This “new phone every year” is the worst consumer crapfest we have going. AI features feel like clutching at straws when seemingly everyone hates the battery life on every single phone. Slap a larger battery in there? Well now you get shit AI that burns whatever extra capacity was gained. I can’t name a single quality on an iPhone model from the last 6 years that I truly wanted, other than the size of my 13 mini. It works fine and it fits in my pocket. Now make one that stays on for a full 24 hours and doesn’t need a battery replacement every 2 years.

I had a pay-as-you-go Nokia from an overseas trip that was perfect as a nonfunctional phone/alarm clock when I got home because it announced the time. Hit snooze at 8am and next alarm it’d say “the time is 8:10” and then do the noise.

This is B.S., man. I'm gonna go see Doctor Worm and re-evaluate this merger.

This is how I feel RFK jr has always operated. He does/proposes/thinks progressive things right up until it really goes off the rails. Like, he argued there are medical biases against Black Americans (very much true and well researched), but then segued into the COVID-19 vaccines being medical experiments on minorities and tried to discourage vaccination that way. He usually starts with a good cause but inevitably drags it into conspiracy territory. Also someone is sanewashing his Wikipedia article because there’s a lot of his bullshit missing from a few months ago.

He and Musk have some Munchausen-by-proxy shenanigan vibes

That’s a lot of free time adderall to have during a work day

Here come the “ask it about Tiananmen Square” comments from your alcoholic uncle in his pit vipers

Remember kids: every time Elon does a hit of ketamine, a horse goes into surgery completely alert.

TIL even ICE has standards, which I assume are for the guard towers.
