Man, in wandering through the house gathering up electronics for tomorrow's electronics waste recycling event, it has become clear to me just how much storage space is being used on dead media. Like, cassettes, dead media. I need to make a concerted effort to digitize everything I want to keep. I could regain half a bookshelf, a closet and two cupboards if I just did that alone. I mean, what is my terabyte of storage space doing sitting there, if not to replace all this physical media?

Charlie Pierce is a national treasure (even if half the nation would rather he were gagged):
The Republican Party is shot through now with an impulse to disunion that is almost an autonomic reflex at this point. Every solution they can offer has behind it the iron certainty that we are better off as individuals, that the nation best operates as a simple, loose framework within which those individuals can operate, and not as something we create together so that our individual achievements can be rooted in something greater than ourselves.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm pleased to say that my decades-long crush on Jodie Foster has just been nicely re-upped.

What if I remember it as nasty and artificial-tasting? The name is romantic as a traditional combination with RC Cola, but the product itself is at the bottom of the list of sweet snacks I'd eat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amongst the things I'm giving my sister for her birthday are facial expressions and headaches. My migraine doctor is trying to get me insurance authorisation for Botox and I told him to make the appointment after the 15th.
She's appropriately appreciative.
