Wandering Tangents

The amount of people my age who think Luigi did more to get better healthcare then Obama explains everything wrong with populist politics

..... D... D...... Do they not know how fucking ground shaking the ACA was???????

I think everyone just forgot how much worse it was beforehand. The electorate has goldfish memories

the entire state of vermont already banned roadside billboards years and years ago. change is possible!!

This is delicious to me on multiple levels. Beyond the element of the Giants being one of my most hated teams, beyond Dart's MAGA-ness... the Defensive Coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings is one Brian Flores, a man currently suing the NFL over racial biases in its hiring processes for head coaches--in large part because of the sham interview he got for the New York Giants' head coaching vacancy a few years ago.

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

what if you told someone you liked their shoelaces while you were on your knees blowing them in a bathroom stall and they told you that they stole them from the president

You know how much I would lose my mind if I was at an aquarium and turned a corner to see a wild ass heron staring at a fish tank

Staring at a vending machine when you’ve got no money

Does anybody know how to fix it
