tbh can we stop doing the thing with clothes and shoes and stuff where we have gendered women's sizes and men's sizes and they are offset from each other by some arbitrary amount and extremely not standardized between manufacturers
and
just like
have universal sizing

So glad Harry Potter is over so I no longer have to hear about J.K. Rowling

Politics 

Can't impeach a president for dropping bombs on brown people, locking up and trying children, hitting turbo on filling the air with carbon or slashing food stamps when wages are stagnant. Or, you know, being a literal rapist.

But you can impeach a president over some shit about Ukraine and Hunter Biden.

This is such unmitigated nerd shit. This is ruling class solidarity nonsense. This is kayfabe. This has nothing to do with me.

@body like I happen to like yoga, but the specifics aren't the big deal here. when people do the Let's Bond Over What Media Commodities We Both Consume thing I'm like. I don't really like movies... or TV. or podcasts. can't really do longform fiction anymore. nope, not into superheroes,

I learned about the method of accurately and comprehensively describing cultures and civilizations. It's interesting.

I got a hot take here that implies that everyone who lives in a city is rich, while also lamenting how awful and ugly and dirty the "inner city" is. Just let me pull it out of ass right now. It's really up high there. Might take a bit.

murder, fugitive millionaire 

AcAfee is like, if Mavis Beacon were real and on an active crime spree.

However Mavis Beacon is 1. Fictional and 2. an angel sent from heaven

whereas Mr. McAfee is 1. nonfictional and 2. a tax-evading millionaire murderer who wanted to run for president on a cryptocurrency platform

Car discourse 

Not got much to say other than I feel "ban cars" and the subsequent backlash shows the need for us to not try to compress politics down into as small a soundbite as possible. Like, I doubt anyone saying "ban car" wants all cars gone tomorrow without properly implementing public transportation everywhere. But, the nature of politics today is to have compressible soundbites, so even "ban cars *after we get good public transport*" is too much to say.
