Despair is the greatest sin his characters commit. NOTE TO ELECTED DEMS

Worth thinking about how long Tolkien goes on in Return of the King about despair being a weapon, and presenting defeat as a forgone conclusion being a deliberate and effective tactic

Call your reps today to tell them you support this and expect them to vocally support these efforts as well as AOC’s articles of impeachment for the compromised justices. It only takes 5 minutes, and you often don’t even have to speak to a real human! (Negative/doomer replies will be blocked)

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

I agree, but I want to ask these types of people, does it even matter if gen AI will get better or not because it sucks right now? If you installed a toilet that exploded instead of flushing 1 time out of 10, would it matter if toilet technology was going to improve in the future?

if every single case of Covid damages the immune system, then the rate of hospitalization and death should be steadily accelerating over time, for Covid and everything else. in fact we see the opposite. why? vaccines and the immune system doing its thing

When I write fanfiction, people usually get laid. This seems much more valuable than whatever the political press is doing, and yet no one is paying me

That reminds me of the time I cowrote an essay on Matt Damon’s mullet. Thief in the front, harlot in the back (actual medieval quote) slate.com/culture/2021...

Please explain the scorers haircut, because it looks medieval to me

This poem is in the Reform Judaism siddur for the Mourner's Kaddish.

Bsky has been fairly unbearable since the debate, and it seems to be getting worse. I don't want to be part of that so have some Greenland photos

The staging area for my canvas for Biden in NH is "week before the election" levels of packed. I don't think we have an enthusiasm problem.

"I’m reminded of the work-safety adage that, for every death, there are multiple near misses; if you fail to correct the problem after near misses, there will be deaths." SpaceX is far too cavalier about safety. Congress needs to have a little chat with them.

My women's DnD group continues to be so fun. My half-orc paladin is a bro-y, horny, virgin and he got very flustered when he encountered some hot hunters. He also tripped on a root during combat and we suspect his armor class is low because he's carrying his armor in his bag instead of wearing it

This is really what they don't want

Here's a simple script you can use if you need one: "I'm calling to tell the representative that I support Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's articles of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito, and I am encouraging him to support them as well." That's all you need!

Call your rep today to encourage them to support AOC’s articles of impeachment. I will block anyone who tells me why they, personally, cannot and therefore why it’s pointless.

🤩 As soon as I turn 50 I want to open one of these, and once a week we will welcome younger women so they can see how great we are. I will call it "Behold the Field" and inside will be the Bayeux tapestry version of that meme. Also the Obi Wan one, maybe!

Really looking forward to listening. My dad taught me vehicular cycling--even as someone strong and athletic, it's taken having an ebike to feel comfortable in traffic on hills. With real cycling infrastructure, I could get a slow start on an uphill and not be worried a car was going to take me out.

Had my first campaign event of sorts tonight, a meet-and-greet with the Dover Democrats for all the candidates in town. One of the long-time reps said I appeared very calm when introducing myself and speaking on a couple topics. I'll take that compliment. Just 119 days to go. #NHPolitics

A bit of personal news, as the saying goes... Earlier this week I filed the necessary paperwork to run for NH State Representative. Our house is absurdly large - 400 members for ~1.3mn people - but I'm hoping to be one of them! millerfornh.com #nhpoli

You're going to need that whiskey if you're wrangling the biggest goose you can find

one fifth or half a case, vs two fifths or two cases? apparently the whiskey-to-beer conversion was exponential in Montana in 1952‽ @bartenderhemry.bsky.social and @golikehellmachine.com can you give me any insight here

Happy Nunavut Day!

Here in NH we are going two weeks straight with highs over 90 and the low temp staying above 70 🥵

Literally no city has ever suffered the way Seattle is suffering this week

I started watching Midnight Mass and now I'd love some recs for novels set in small remote places--islands especially. Let me know what you've got! Don't assume I've read anything!
