My cat is cautiously listening to the fireworks from across the room from the windows instead of cowering under the bed, so I guess that's an improvement over last year

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

Artist Hitomi Terasawa drew a meticulous cross-sectioned rendering of Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City before it was razed in 1994. Now we have rare scans revealing the inner workings of the labyrinth-like metropolis. www.thisiscolossal.com/2024/07/kowl...

Awwright, 23 in my BIPOC Comics & Webcomics #StarterPack to start with! If you're a moot and I missed you cause I didn't know you were BIPOC *or* I didn't know you were working on a comic, @ or DM me. Do the same if you're in, and would prefer to be removed for any reason. 🫡 go.bsky.app/EPRohu1

I think it's been ten years (or more) since they made this change, but I'm still annoyed with Google for making the order of search types different depending on what you searched for

Another thing I really like about VB is that while they throw in a lot of references to pop culture, they're easter eggs—you don't have to get the reference for the show to be enjoyable and funny. (This is something that Lower Decks does really well too)

One of the (many) things I like about Venture Bros was Jackson & Doc's willingness to take some random throwaway bit from an episode and make it important later

Got a toy in the mail today. Hopefully it can survive my extreme clumsiness

Hey, @jaketapper.bsky.social

If Tapper's next show is not a spotlight on every lie Trump told, then there's no reason to ever take him seriously again.

Now reading: Middlesex (Jeffrey Eugenides), a long, long-overdue book for me 💙📚

All of Lower Decks season one is up for free on the P+ YouTube for a limited time (USA). A great way to intro a friend to the Cerritos! youtu.be/jTQnkijDtRQ?...

they keep inventing new guys

Spent a stupid amount of money on underwear just to see if it was worth the price Pros: very comfortable Cons: their marketing makes me want to pour salt water on all of their computers

Milwaukee, you're next

The density in Downtown Minneapolis right now is great. Hennepin legit feels like walking in parts of Manhattan. Demonstrates what's possible.

I like how the Wirecutter's recommendation for a home NAS just straight up acknowledges that people are going to be using them to store pirated movies and shit (Yes, I know there are non-piracy uses for torrenting)

There's graffiti here for a band called "Irish Sunglasses", and all that I can think of is that it sounds like a euphemism that some 1920s gangster would use

Pay $28 for summerfest tix or go see a free punk show at a local bar? Decisions, decisions

Sometimes (i.e., daily), I talk to my cat as if she'll understand what I'm saying. Sometimes, she'll stare at me and meow as if I'll understand what she wants. I think we're about even.

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

The war is over. The bad guys won.

Also, regular use of a nasal spray before you go outside is a useful part of a defense-in-depth strategy, especially if you will be somewhere you can't mask like the dentist. My roundup of the ones available in the US is here: synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html

Yes: Look for CPC mouthwash and use a neti pot or neilmed bottle. Even if you don’t care about yourself, preventing yourself from becoming a vector means you won’t kill and disable others, particularly children who don’t have the wherewithal to “choose” to avoid repeated infection.
