Yeah I hate Sunday evenings. I’m acutely aware I have to wake up super early the next day, and yet I still have energy from sleeping in an extra hour and just want to hang out. That means I almost always end up going to bed later than I plan, making Mondays suck more than they need to.

People who don’t vote don’t get to complain if things don’t go their way. I mean they can, but it’s pretty silly. It’s like writing a review for a restaurant that your friends have eaten at, but that you haven’t. No one should take that review seriously.

I think voting should be mandatory for people who have registered to vote. I don’t think anyone should be required to register, but if you are registered you should have to vote or be fined, imo.

Yeah I feel you. It’s one of the few excellent apps that I’ve never felt the need to upgrade. I don’t think I need any of the extra features. I wish there were a lifetime option or something a little less expensive than their yearly. I might just subscribe for a few months to show my support for the devs, because it’s such a solid app. But their prices do seem really high.

Yeah, just search for 404 media with whatever app you use for podcasts. I don’t use Spotify or Apple and it came up straight away for me in PocketCasts.

404 Media knocking it out of the park as usual. This is one of those independent outlets which has been doing consistently awesome journalism. I especially like it when they get targeted for their work, because they are never afraid to call out the hypocrisy or bullshit, they thrive on it.

The silver lining here is that Facebook was already increasingly a waste of our time. The only reason we’re able to share our stories via our official Facebook page is that we’ve fully automated that process, because it is not actually worth our time to post our stories there organically. Since before we started 404 Media, we knew there was very little chance that Facebook would help us reach people, grow our audience, and make the case that people should support our journalism, so in a way we lost nothing because there’s nothing to lose. On the other hand, that perspective is based on us having already accepted Facebook’s rejection of our journalism years ago.

Their podcast is also very solid, worth a listen.

Not a divorcee myself, but one of my close friends got divorced a few years ago, and when she told me, without thinking I said, “Congratulations! That must be a huge relief.” She was so thrilled by my response, and said I was the only friend who congratulated her, everyone else acted all sad and consoling. It was a difficult decision she made, so she felt like it should be celebrated.

That’s been my response ever since, though gently of course, and only if I know the person well enough.

“Book me a cheap flight to New York.”

“All set, I’ve booked you a business class seat on a flight to Dubai, via Hawaii. Your MasterCard has been charged $14,572. Your flight leaves in 48 minutes, enjoy your trip!”

I was taught to do that, and I hope everyone does it, even if they think they’re the only car on the road. I’m a very safe but confident and decisive driver, and the number of times I’ve looked over my shoulder and been surprised by what I found is high enough that I will continue to always do it, even if it feels silly. It’s just not worth the risk.

I always go for the exaggerated thumbs up, especially when someone cuts me off or tailgates me. Really throws them off.

Vice’s transformation is now complete.

Unless it has some kind of extra coating on it, you should be fine. To be honest though, I’d just dump the contents directly into your air fryer. Aside from slightly easier cleanup there’s no reason to risk any extra chemicals leeching into your food.

“You’ll win when I say so.”

100%

Here’s a very recent example of just that.

Yeah, that would make any kind of political speech practically impossible. Activism? Nope, out of the question. Creative artistic expression? Better watch out for the thought police.

We don’t need “best behavior,” that would be so incredibly boring.

His out of touch suggestion is completely incompatible with democracy.
