When the dominoes fall, they fall fast. Every claim of fascism of the past four years has been projection, and Big Tech, the media, and politicians are wasting no time, now that they have all of the power, to make their dreams, reality.
It's very popular right now to say that 1995 sucked. While that may be the case, The Bends is so far and away the best album here, is an album that nearly every band ever would lust to have in their discography, and is only disregarded bc OK Computer is the best album ever.

I listened to this song quite a bit in 1992 (though it was quite out of my typical playlist at the time). I found out TODAY that the band, Shakespears Sister, was formed by a former member of Bananarama. Neat stuff.

I will just say, re the burrito discourse, that I had carne asada nachos today at Six Flags Magic Mountain (i.e. hardly a hotbed of affordable food) for <$20 and they were both delicious and sufficient to feed two people.

.@VivaAerobus all but stranded by wife and three kids in León.
Flt 4185 BJX-MTY (landing 6:35 PM) was canceled "due to weather in Monterrey").
Flt 4165 VER-MTY LANDED at 6:46 PM in Monterrey... despite the weather?

Now she can't get to LAX because @VivaAerobus doesn't have flights for 72 hours. They SAY it's because of the weather but their own airline has flights in and out of MTY. Clearly it's not the weather - they are lying for some reason and my wife is stuck.
Never fly @VivaAerobus.
For all the US Soccer wonks screeching about no one wanting to support non-first tier teams, one of my only regrets about moving out of the Palmdale/Lancaster CA area is that I never got to be a rabid supporter of (USL1) @AVALTAFC. I would EAT THAT UP if I were still there.

Rewatching "Singles" and I cannot believe anyone thinks "Reality Bites" holds a candle to this movie. The music is miles better, the stories are better, the feeling is earnest (if occasionally cheesy) & not utterly fake like RB.
This is the petty, niche hill on which I will die.

Here's a great example of mealy-mouthed corporate idiotspeak. It sounds great that they want to "help prevent wildfires and protect our communities" but cannot & WILL not provide real evidence that shows their lunacy actually does that.
Defend your decision with FACTS, @apsFYI.
Hi, Peter. We understand your concerns. Public Safety Power Shutoffs are used only during extreme fire risk conditions to help prevent wildfires and protect our communities. To stay informed, we encourage you to update your contact information, visit aps.com/psps.

Our dopey power company in Arizona is shutting down power for about 30 hours to combat forest fires. The catch: downed lines haven't caused a single significant forest fire in recent Flagstaff history. 30 hours without power to avoid a 0% chance of fire. 😠
SHAMEFUL, @apsFYI.
High winds and fire conditions are in the forecast. For safety, we may need to shut off power on Saturday, June 27, 2026 in parts of Coconino County. We continue to monitor as weather patterns may change. Save this post for latest updates.

To celebrate the Iranian uprising and overthrow of 47 years of tyranny, @PrimeVideo should stream Persepolis for free.

I comment on ONE post and now my timeline is chock full of pro/anti arguments re: letting babies "cry it out". Make it stop.

Anyone know why "Adolf" is a name that's still in fairly common circulation in other languages (e.g. Spanish where I know at least a couple of "Adolfo"s) when it's so verboten in English (and, I expect, German)?

"I set up a meeting for us at 10 AM PST"
I know it's a matter of my being maladjusted, but misuse of xST vs. xDT is a massive annoyance to me. I live in Arizona—DST MATTERS! Are your clocks set to PST for some bizarre reason, or are you just bad with details and you meant PDT?

I dated a girl in HS who had her dad's calling card so she could call home from a pay phone. I memorized the # & used it once in mixed company. Someone in that group nicked it, used it to call Colombia for a big drug trafficking op & I got unpleasantly interrogated for wire fraud

Me: "Oakland baseball games are poorly attended due to club mismanagement."
A's fan: "I will kill you and your children where you live."
Again, social media - where everyone can express every thought in their depraved little head - is a net negative.

Keep this in mind anytime anyone tries to sell you on the idea that violent crime is plummeting (esp. when it's touted as happening under the current administration).
Not a single murder in New Orleans in 2023!
According to the latest FBI data... 🤦♂️
