We are complaining about printers now?

Sadly, no. We’re complaining about age cohorts.

My new next door neighbor is AirBnB and let me tell you how much I hate it

I gotta. The Rogue-like genre being the classic example of the indie game

Zombie: Ceaselessly wanders the land, searching for other people’s brains to devour

Mummy: Remains ensconced in a comfy pyramid for thousands of years, having no interest even in their own brains which they removed and set aside in Canopic Jars.

Absolutely not the same

That’s not negotiation! That’s not deal making!

It is. Just not in your interest. Might be worth asking what Trump thinks he’s getting out of it. Did someone at a Russian bank just pick up another $50M in Trumpcoin recently? How will a brokered peace enrich Trump’s family and friends?

The US isn’t Ukraine and Trump isn’t capitulating to an enemy, he’s carving up Ukrainian territory alongside an erstwhile ally. He’s making deals, he’s just not on your side of the board.

He was coaching them on how to convince YOU, Mr. Trump, on how to manipulate YOU

He’s an agent of the Trump administration selling a deal brokered by Russia to his boss, presumably by promising the kind of quid pro quo Trump would endorse.

What’s notable is how sloppy and slapdash the dealmaking was for the benefit of the public at-large. Trump’s team might have gotten out cleaner if the authors of the deal hadn’t just chucked it through Babblefish to get an English translation.

Ever hear of an atheist needing an exorcism

You joke, but…

Demon Spirits – The Real Root of Addiction

Growing up in the 80s/90s, I 100% heard about how everything from Heavy Metal music to D&D to Voting for Michael Dukakis caused the godless heathens to become possessed and driven to deplorable acts. Exorcisms are for people with insider access to high ranking church officials. The folks living outside of the fence - the migrants, the hippies, the drug users, the fornicators and exotic dancers, the non-believers - why do you think they have all that crime and disease and misery?

They’ve fallen out of God’s love and light. They’re all tortured souls, possessed by any number of evils.

Rising American anti-Semitism isn’t a foreign influence operation.

If I’m not allowed to blame Putler for this, why should I even consider it a problem?

Yair Rosenberg is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of its newsletter Deep Shtetl

Oh boy, excited to hear his opinions on Israel-Palestine.

The War Israel Was Ready to Fight: The strategy that led to the October 7 disaster is the same one fueling Israel’s current successes.

Yee-haw!

finger snaps heard over jazz music

Some beautiful new art on a very old joke.

They fled Fidel for the US and lost everything they owned in Cuba.

The Bay of Pigs created their hatred for the Dems.

That’s a story I’ve heard. But Dems continued to win Florida through Obama.

Seems like a lot of the Cuban Exile energy came out of their 80s era gray market role in drugs and arms dealing through the Caribbean. And that put them at the forefront of the crypto ponzi schemes under Obama, Trump, and Biden.

Now they’re just bog standard libertarian fascists.

Here, enjoy this stew.

Guilty as charged 😈

he’s Cuban

Some people will tell you that Communism made Cuba a better place. But I suspect a big part of it was all the worst fuckers on the island moving to Florida.

I’ll always remember their big dusty fishbowl with the outlines of all the keys.

That’s Free Markets, baby!

It can’t pop if the US Treasury just keeps dumping tens of billions of dollars into it as a backstop.

The Infrastructure Reinvestment Act kicked this mess off, but it didn’t pad the wallets of the right people to the right degree. So now Trump is just cutting idiots and assholes across the VC Tech Sector ten-digit checks to keep doing what they’re doing.

We’re increasingly operated as a Planned Economy that exists to turn natural resources into AI slop, because this is what the federal government’s leadership believes they need to maintain the illusion of control over the public.

I LOVE FREE MARKETS!

is there some other alternative

Plenty. But then tend to be local and they vary in content. Houston has a number of programs run through the Children’s Museum and the various universities (Rice, in particular) for aspiring engineers and nature lovers alike. The YMCA and the JCC both have youth programs for fitness and sports. Soccer is always popular.

We got a lot of German refugees in the late 1940s
