CNN remakes one of the “affordable” meals from RFK Jr.’s new cooking show. It should cost under $5 per serving, but what’s the real price point? @tomforemancnn reports.

Man, right as I was finally on the verge of turning a corner, last night's storm resulted in some electrical issues. My outside AC unit has stopped working and one of my main outlets has gone wonky, and I have to have an electrician come out tomorrow.

[Abe Strongjohn @AbeStrongjohn]

actually, what it was was that juggalos made it next to impossible for sensitive young men to find attractive clown girls who weren't hooked on meth and listening to shitty white trash rap.

[Vortex🤡 @Vortexoid]

Nothing shows the difference in Millennial and Zoomer worldviews better than $Clussy.
Millennials, in their massive infantility, assume that clowns are to be feared.
But the Zoomer enlightenment has shown us that clowns are actually to be fornicated with.

Like, the worst thing imaginable in the umaverse is probably being born a human woman, because you have nothing to offer that umas can't do immeasurably better.

@YakovMerkin Umamusume-verse probably overall happy and more peaceful, though non-Uma women probably much more disagreeable as a permanent underclass, as Umas can provide all benefits of human women AND beasts of burden who helped build civilization.

I think in the Umaverse that war would be significantly different to the point of many wars and conflicts never happening due to the logistical necessity of horses running up against men's innate drive to protect women.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

“Umamusume is set in a world where horses don’t exist. There’s only horse girls.” - @RealJohnRose

“Doesn’t that change the entire course of human history?” - Me

“You’re looking at this like it’s a problem when it’s actually one of the greatest thought experiments ever.”

“Yeah, like could you imagine the Charge of the Light brigade?”

“Oh no…”

[Abe Strongjohn @AbeStrongjohn]

@YakovMerkin super soldiers, but extreme cultural pressure to protect waifus and daughterus. There would be exceptions, and they would be seen as unseemly. The state of Human x Uma relations also implies that there wasn't a period where men were subservient to the physically stronger Umas.

[Brainwright @jaggerode]

@ArchivistPulp @AbeStrongjohn Yes, it is. In Democracy, you don’t have to defeat your opponent. You can just prop up the dumbest version of your opponent’s ideas and let that suck out all the oxygen from their movement.

It’s why Communism is the Omnicause.

Glue factory jokes aside, I do feel like adding an option to one-touch transfer a trainee at the end of a run would be a great QoL enhancement, because your roster gets cluttered up fast when trying to make aces.

@ArchivistPulp dude, tomorrow's show is going to suck
i was told we were playing some dude's birthday party, which is technically true, but it's also some anti-ICE fundraiser and so we're not going to get paid, plus it's going to be outside in 105 fucking degrees

the band i just joined is planning 6 months of practicing before we debut

i think a lot about how protestants literally invented grape juice in the 19th century so they could deny the miracle of cana and downplay the fact that God would change his plans at the request of the Son's earthly mother

[Alethia (Hestia) @alethia__23]

Why do people insist on being so evil to the Mother of God? If the woman who bore Christ is just a "birthing chamber," then what are the rest of us? Just wombs?

One of my favorite interpretation of any media is that the Addams Family is seen as creepy (and cooky, mysterious and spooky) by their neighbours because they're catholic hispanics and their neighbours are all wasps, and to me it makes sense

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

It took them 60 years to figure out that if you give a bunch of free stuff to poor people, you create more dependent poor people.

@ArchivistPulp I'm sympathetic to people who don't want a tax-underwritten giant warehouse and taxpayer-funded infrastructure leading to it that will sit empty because the bubble bursts when there are no actual clients offering hosting services taking advantage of these data warehouses

[Abe Strongjohn @AbeStrongjohn]

The real problem with a lot of data centers is that they're being setup by someone like the monorail guy from the simpsons; they have investors but no clients, trying to get in on the bubble, but this has nothing to do with what most people think is the problem with data centers

[ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs @MorlockP]

>Saying you don’t want a data center near you is a completely reasonable stance

no, it absolutely isn't

"I don't want a large building set back from the road, with no traffic, no smells, and no emissions, which generates a crap ton of real estate taxes" is not a reasonable stance
