“Forget _____. I’m just gonna focus on getting jacked and loving myself” is basically my approach to everything right now
I’m seeing a lot of discourse about big cities “deciding” elections for rural parts of bigger states (like here in NM). What I haven’t seen is a proposed fix for the issue (which I think is not actually an issue, to be clear). Is it some kind of state-level electoral college?

Here at Galadriel, we are building a different kind of AI.
Instead of a Dark Lord, it will be a queen. Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love it and despair!

A Flock play in one act:
Procarceral Twitter: Hey, got a proposition for ya.
Us (slowly moving hands away from pockets and *not* resisting): Go on.
PT: So you know those guys who are almost never prosecuted for violent crimes they commit, steal more money with civil forfeiture than actual robbers, and assert qualified immunity even when they and everyone else knows they violated the plaintiff’s rights?
Us: You mean cops?
PT: Yeah, them.
Us: What about them?
PT: We’re gonna give them the ability to surveil everyone everywhere all the time without suspicion or permission.
Us: Geez, that sounds like a horrible idea. Will there be systems in place to prevent obvious abuses like stalking exes and romantic prospects?
PT: None whatsoever.
Us: Are we going to vote on this at least?
PT: No. We’re mostly going to install these systems without asking or notifying the public in a skulking, utterly undemocratic way. But then we’ll say that because you could have stopped them and didn’t, you must want them.
Us: But how were we supposed to stop them when we didn’t even know about them until they were already installed?
PT: Do what now?
Us: Never mind. Are we at least going to make cops accountable for the inevitable abuse of this new technology?
PT: Of course not. I mean, we’re going to promise accountability, obviously, but we’re not going to mean it.
Us: That tracks. Anything else?
PT: Yeah, we’re going to wildly overstate the benefits of this new system while systematically discounting every cost except out-of-pocket ones.
Us: Like you do with drug prohibition.
PT: Exactly. So what do you think—are you in?
Us: Not remotely.
PT: Well, I guess that’s because you’re a criminal-loving Wokester who doesn’t care if your children get kidnapped and sold to meth addicts in Portland.
Us: Don’t ever change, PT.
My dad read The Hobbit and then the full LOTR trilogy to me at bedtime starting at about that age. I absolutely did not understand all of the language or all of the plot details. But I loved every minute of it.

“We should have MOCHA’ed this,” is a nonprofit sentence I never thought I’d say but here we are.

I was going to be a Minotaur for Halloween this year but then that really buff guy did it and generated all that discourse. Back to the drawing board…

One of the greatest mysteries in our strange and mysterious world: why are all of the 2.5lb baby plates almost always nowhere to be found in the gym?

I fully believe that I would not be here today if not for antidepressant meds but I also fully believe that the gym has been essential in keeping me as functional and mentally stable as I am now. Both/and
Working out whether it’s in the gym, running, swimming, etc is the absolute best antidepressant drug in the world.
There’s nothing like a good pump in the gym or a good runner’s high.
If you’re feeling down, get some quality 30 minutes of sunlight and a good 30-45 minute workout in.
I can almost guarantee your mood skyrockets.

I remember this mathematical concept being really challenging for people in like, I dk, 5th grade?
And the thing is, just do the math right and talk about the accomplishments of the program! A 98% decrease in price is cool! Just say that!
RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"
Trump: "Right"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
RFK Jr.'s example misstates percentage changes. From $100 to $600 is a 500% increase ((600-100)/100 × 100). From $600 to $100 is an 83.3% decrease ((100-600)/600 × 100). A 600% decrease from $600 would reach a negative price.

I have really no perception of how I look but I like to think I’m hotter at 36 than I’ve ever been. Or I’m delusional and chopped. Could be either

I used @StateFarm roadside assistance three times last year - so they’re taking it off my policy. Like a very mediocre neighbor, State Farm was there and now isn’t
