Playing Tears of the Kingdom, and so far my experience can be summed up as "You don't need any more melee weapons. You have melee weapons at home."

American healthcare is the best in the world!
1) it's tied to your job
2) how much you pay depends on each employer
3) it costs anywhere from $0 to $25,000 annually to insure your family
4) you get TONS of mail after each and every visit and you learn how to ignore the first three "bills" that arrive until the "real" bill shows up of what you actually pay
5) yes you pay for things beyond the money you pay for healthcare in general
6) keeping your prescriptions current is now your half-time job

Consumer capitalism and planned obsolescence were mistakes.

First they came for the journalists, who were very surprised to find themselves in a giant warehouse filled with minorities, immigrants, disabled, trans, and gay people.

The first episode of season two was so bad I'm struggling to remember why I liked season one.

This helps to make America and the entire globe safer.

In the last 6 years, the US has gone from producing 0% of the world's rare earths to nearly 15% thanks to a single mine in California. Now the company behind it is taking the next steps toward an entirely US-based rare earth supply chain:

SCOTUS rules the Earth is round and goes around the sun. Court splits 7-2, Thomas and Alito dissenting.

I live in CA. We invented them.

Not worth having my rates go up. I was already starting to look for a new car before this happened. It's been a good run.

Welp. $2400 to replace the catalytic converter on a 12 year old car with 93,000 miles and several other (minor) issues.

Add to this the fact that I just started a year-long sabbatical and don't need to commute to work for the next 15 months.

So instead I'm googling "How to donate junk car to trans rights charity."

Went to move my car for street sweeping, and it sounds like someone stole my catalytic converter. Great start to the summer.

All this pretty clearly (and yet again) exposes the Republican Party as a criminal organization, supported by a supremacist movement that’s perfectly comfortable with corruption and crime and abuse and political retribution and incitement to violence, provided all the crime and abuse benefits the right people, or at least hurts the people who they believe ought to be hurt.

Anyway, the White Christian President is observably an abusive and corrupt criminal, yet all of this just seems to make him more and more popular with Republican voters and Republican politicians, even the ones who are running against him for president, all of whom came to the defense of the boss whose job they hope to gain without actually ever fighting him for it.

Very excited to announce my upcoming project: A live rendition of Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain" performed by two car alarms.

This photo shows several things that should never be found in a bathroom, under penalty of law.

And some boxes.

@WardQNormal there's also a chandelier style wall fixture, and that version of the pic crops out the comically rococo gold mirror frame. The boxes are *at most* the fourth stupidest thing in that bathroom (fifth if trump is in there)

Chandelier in the bathroom
Please talk free
The door is locked
Just you and me

I mean who the fuck puts a chandelier in a fucking bathroom?

The indictment is also the worst Zillow listing ever.
