This is the kind of responsible Democratic politicking that got George Santos elected.

Good ad campaign, too.

Unihertz Jelly Star! I bought one solely to use as an mp3 player, but I got very close to it becoming my regular full-time phone.

The Plants that Would Not Die

as well as the belief that opposing trans rights “itself constitutes a form of violence towards people who identify as [trans or gender nonconforming]… or poses an imminent threat to such persons’ emotional, psychological, or physical safety

Just imagine for a moment that one were to replace “trans” with literally any other grouping of humanity and think how insane it would sound.

“I’m not a bigot, I’m just opposed to black rights!”

“I’m not an anti-semite, I’m just opposed to Jewish rights!”

“I’m not committing a genocide, I’m just opposed to human rights!”

Christ, the veneer of legitimacy is molecule-thin at this point.

Great, who’s going to go tell Richard Feynman?

I’ve heard him described as always looking like he’s going through customs with a brick of cocaine stuffed down his pants.

Watch the original Gone in 60 Seconds, from 1974. The car stunts are absolutely insane, to the extent that they probably shouldn’t have been allowed to make the movie the way they did, but it happened and I’m glad that cameras were rolling. The Nic Cage remake was trying to make a movie safer, slicker, and more coherently, but there’s no replacement for a bunch of insane stunt drivers risking their lives and the lives of everyone around them.

But then I start to feel like

this guy, with the “real” camera and the phone camera, but the phone camera is the one I’ve most consistently got on me, because I can’t lug a whole additional piece of hardware around in a camera bag, meanwhile the phone camera pictures are grainy and shitty, and I’d just as soon have a Pixel in my pocket at all times that can take fairly good pictures at all times.

Camera is probably the first obstacle. I’ve got a kid, and I really want to have good documentation of her growing up. If there were a dumbphone with a legit camera, that’d be a big deal for me.

After that, probably maps is the next most important thing that I want an actual smart phone for. I remember getting my first smart phone, and probably the main thing I was excited about was always being able to navigate directly to where I wanted to go.

Almost everything else is tertiary to my needs.

Well, now I want to see an artist’s rendition of a T. rex doing this:

This is good advice, but every so often I’ll screw up and put some grounds in before I think to tare the scale, so what I’ve done is put a little label on my French press that says how many grams it weighs when empty. That way, if I find myself in that situation, I can do the math of how much the press and grounds should all weigh together.

Meanwhile, Greg Gutfeld still has a job after this.

Remember when right wingers were losing their goddamn minds over Jade Helm?

I know where I came from—but where did all you zombies come from?
