Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.
Sitting eating my little $1 packet of Indonesian noodles and realizing these tariffs are going to completely destroy H-mart aren't they.

Wisconsin fought and clawed to get out from under the thumb of the Kochs and Uihleins who had bought and paid for gerrymandered Republican dominance for years. And then another rich motherfucker showed up and the whole state said not today.

I didn't really need more reasons to hate Manchester City, but they have some kind DaFont Simpsons knockoff on their jersey today.
