The broligarchs "made a philosophy out of a personality defect" is going to stick with me. I knew a lot of the details going into the book. But it's put together in such a compelling way it was both engaging and informative. Book of the year candidate. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ #booksky #bookreview @gilduran.com

First #mango tree this planting season. Cinder block protects it from the mower/weedwhacker for the next couple years. #gardensky

Koa tree (Acacia koa) with both its juvenile (bottom) and adult (top) leafs. Tree is less than a year old and about 3ft tall. #Koa #native #hawaii #gardensky

Spent the day ratchet strapping fruit trees back upright after #HurricaneLowell #hawaii #gardensky #rolinia #hopethisworks

All these plants are fine. Minor damage to the greenhouse. My living room and storage shed were destroyed. Washer and dryer flew across the yard. Many of my mature trees were killed. No power, water pressure dropping. Winds were around 90mph. Everyone here is fine. #hurricanelowell #gardensky

Waiting for Hurricane Lowell to hit, thinking about my neighbor, who's off island, and his giant unused bunker that none of us are supposed to know about.

I took the roof off the greenhouse to keep it from shredding and moved all my plants to the bottom shelves. Winds expected to be 50+mph. #hurricanelowell #gardensky #hawaii #prayformyplants

Taking the solar panels off my roof and tying down the lawn furniture tomorrow

Fellas is it woke to train jumping out of a helicopter into a lake in full battle order to insert behind enemy lines to mark drop zones ahead of an airborne assault?

if you have enough money to buy anything the only limits on what you can do are ones society imposes on you Trump removed most of those limits and they will never voluntarily go back

This was surreal. I emailed the proton mail of the hacker group that breached the UK airports yesterday and they replied overnight with this...

in the absence of explanation we can only embrace revelation

My man looks like Jim Carrey playing Joe Biden

So Jacob Soboroff is actually extremely cool and everyone should Connect with him

This is the ideal truck. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Online mutual aid dares to ask “what if charity was distributed according to the recipients’ ability to accumulate clout and perform abjection on English language social media?”

My man looks like he used ChatGPT to write the vows for his third wedding

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Real ones know what a "toque" is...

i cant definitively prove the existence of the soul but i can 100% tell you when somebody is bereft of one

data center developers fucked up by trying to tell Americans that data centers generate tax revenue for local governments instead of telling them that the subsonic noise pollution from data centers creates a shield that blocks chemtrails

Fascism (which sucks) strikes us as aberrant *because* we are so modern. But wanting a strong leader to suppress minorities and lead your tribe in a brutal war in which you enslave or massacre your neighbors and take their resources - that was the DEFAULT mode of most polities before modernity.

All I want for Christmas is for people to understand that “capital allocators engage in speculative capex financed by debt” is literally a description of how every advanced economy on the planet, including the USSR and China as well as capitalist countries, has created economic growth since 1800.

Do it, Canada. Do the funni. Export tax of 500%. I want to see gas at $12/gal

On the one hand, I shouldn't wish my country ill. On the other hand, Canada's grandfathers bled with my grandfathers fighting the Nazis. When we were attacked on 9/11, we asked Canada to send their sons and they bled with our troops in Afghanistan. To betray that bond - we'll deserve what we get.

I had not read the book or seen the movie before. Excellent story, but Avery Brooks really steals the show with the narration. Highly recommend the audiobook version. I listened free on the Libby app. #booksky #bookreview ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

First fruiting of a dragonfruit i planted on a moringa tree that I've repeated chopped down. #gardensky #dragonfruit (I planted this at my #bluecollar job without use of #AI or #spreadsheet. #discourse)

"Since I left in 2024, just before the citizenship revocations and the war occurred, I had never experienced such an intense political atmosphere in Kuwait."

"Spreadsheet people" is most salaried Americans. That's not always fun to think about. But there's a heck of a lot more working engineers and accountants than writers or actors. Microsoft Excel is the single most important development in human productivity in the past 40 years.

You’re all just jealous of what Natalie has

The way things are going with AI, it's probably a smart move for ambitious students to work on their penmanship.
