I love all the work Ben and Jerry have done over the years and think they should continue.. But the brand died the day they sold it to unilever. Them staying on with the company afterwards just showed their naïveté about the whole situation. Glad they (or maybe just the one?) are bailing as hopefully they’ll have more time to do good without spinning their wheels trying to keep the brand wholesome, when that ship sailed a long time ago.

Looked up the tally, the 27 is a typo and should be 47 nay. 4 Rs sat out and Bernie, who I believe had a planned absence for personal matters iirc tweet a few days ago.

Can’t imagine why no one trusts the guy who said they prayed to god it wasn’t one of ‘us’ when he now says the shooter wasn’t one of ‘us.’

Unions endorsing billionaire vulture capitalists. What a time to be alive.

Oh wow, I had no idea that was the case. That is really wild.

True; when I was growing up it was a quarter of the size it is now. Wild how much it’s grown.

Dude has a username of stormbringer, is trying to deflect for the Nat-C’s and has a comment history of nothing but removed by mod. Gonna go head and block that guy and move on haha.

As someone who can still remember watching the second plane hit on live tv, I honestly don’t even notice September 11 until I see a post with the towers in it. I’m sure others have far more visceral reactions still, but I’ve now had enough co-workers that were born after it happened that I see it as a thing that happened in the past that has no real relation to today (outside of the ramifications of the Patriot act). Having the EPA post about a private citizen is weird though.

Hilarious, only issue is towards the end with the girl who was born in Charlotte. No one who was born there stays there. The whole city is transplants. Or at least that’s my view of it as one of the many people who lived there until 18 and bailed twenty years ago.

Yep, that tweet was all I needed to see from anyone to prove what his ideologies were. Like a Bansheeit in the night she’ll screech which way the shit wind blows.

Damn, Moves the left hand then looks at the right not move. For a narcissist, trapped in your own body may just be the worst thing.

Was it? Gavin had him on his podcast, I don’t think this was a dig. And while the lemmy jokes may be funny, I wouldn’t want any politician making light of any shooting. He should have just said nothing.

Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.

 

Saw two shooting stars pop up while watching the comet last night, one of them showed up in the exposure I was taking at the time.
Canon R8 w 13s exposure, iso 8000, f7.1; cropped.

 

Was surprised to be able to see it this far south, in canyon of the ancients so super remote.

Taken on a Canon R8 24mm wide lens, iso 1600, 15 second exposure, f5.0; no post processing.
