Yes, I just discovered the @productivityalchemy.com podcast. (It is amazing.)
Yes, I'm incapable of not listening to podcasts in order, so I've started from the very beginning.
My dad always quoted Woody Guthrie, although I don't think he knew it, "Some will rob you with a six gun. And some with a fountain pen." Those fountain pen crooks are running the government even more than my dad suspected, since he grew up in better times.
A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes.
It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.
Just finished the Reimagining Fairy Tales panel at FinnCon 2024, with Ursula Vernon/T. Kingfisher, Sabrina Porterfield, Sara Norja, and Saara Henriksson. Good stuff!
"you're not American why do you care about the 4th of July" mate I'm Indian, any day someone got the Brits to fuck off back to their country is a national holiday for me
I finally saw a cybertruck this week in real life and the very first thing that occurred to me was how much it resembles a taco bell quesadilla press. Add wheels to this grill and you would not be able to distinguish between them
“Wait to learn more” is not picking sides. It’s not believing or disbelieving one party over another. It’s recognizing that a major source of information is sketchy af and we need more information.
Happy 4th of July to our friends at home in the US. In the words of Woody Guthrie:
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?

This one tastes like…pine tar and creosote? Liked drinking smoked railroad tie. Oddly compelling. You don’t know if you like it, so you drink more to find out.
Look. All I'm saying America is that this kind of bullshit power-grab behaviour was EXACTLY what caused Benedict Arnold, your greatest general, to become so disillusioned he said "fuck it" to the whole project
Most *white* Americans.
There is no country on earth that imprisons more of its population than the US. Prisoners disproportionately Black.
The US leads the world in child executions. Not a typo. Disproportionately Black.
Life expectancy for US Black folk lower than for Uighur Chinese. Not a typo
Pretty much. What it mostly boils down to is that most Americans really don’t have the faintest idea what living under modern authoritarian regimes actually looks like, and how it’s often at the same time way more boring and way more scary than they’d imagined.
Good morning to all my legal colleagues rolling into the office this morning in an open bathrobe, boxers, a stained t-shirt, and mismatched fluffy house slippers, clinging a bottle of vodka and answering every question with “What does it fucking matter, nothing’s real anyhow.”
Sorry not sorry to fountain pen sky. If you use Noodler's and you know what you're about, cool, live your life. If you rec it to other people I will drop out of the sky to yell about my poor, melted pens and Nate Tardif's abhorrent politics so fast...
So...anyone else excited about the new Colorverse USA inks? I know I'm going to be getting Giant Potato, White Sands, and Grand Prism for sure, and am SO TEMPTED by Aurora Borealis and Atchafalaya...
I have regrets about uttering FOR SCIENCE.

If you let the chip sit on your tongue it's almost like a spicy tropical hi-chew flavor that isn't mango. It does not work with the corn chip texture.
