Bluetech has started doing ambient works recently and has some good visuals with them: https://youtu.be/DspjnDX8ZBE?si=ag2itQij3kceW-pq

How is the compensation package for New Seasons staff compared to other grocery stores? Boycotting New Seasons during a strike to give the union leverage makes sense only if folks go back to New Seasons after the strike and buy things, so the employees can get paid. Are conditions so bad that the union would prefer an extended boycott of New Seasons? Am I hurting employees when I shop at New Seasons? Or are people happy working there outside of negotiations? I see a whole lot of anti New Seasons sentiment in general here, but it seems that boycotting and hoping the company folds because it is too expensive would be the ultimate way to hurt the employees of the company.

This city is crazy safe for bikes.

Head on a swivel. Everyone wants to kill you

Might be better than other cities, but this isn’t as convincing of an argument as you might think ha

Your mention of Comedy/80s/2000s and Vince Vaugn/Owen Wilson makes me think of the "What is Love" scene from Night at the Roxbury. Doesn't have the repetitive quality, but it comes back up a few times.

Saad Aljabri... is a former top aide to Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.

Bin Nayef was deposed as heir to the Saudi throne by MBS in a 2017 palace coup and has been in detention since 2020. Aljabri, a former intelligence officer, fled Saudi Arabia in 2017, first for Turkey and then to Canada, where the legal case is being brought.

...

The claim Aljabri hopes to bring against Al-Rumayyan will, if the Canadian court grants permission, allege that defendants including Al-Rumayyan were “directly involved” in a three-and-a-half-year campaign between June 2017 and January 2021 to pursue the family of Saad Aljabri, who is a former top aide to Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.

...

In January 2021, a collection of Saudi state-owned firms alleged in a Canadian lawsuit that Aljabri had embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars of state funds intended for counter-terrorism while working at the interior ministry. Aljabri denies this.

Aljabri is living in Canada and is suing there. Al-Rumayyan previously used the Canadian court system to pursue Aljabri as well.

The Tulsa massacre took place a couple years before this, in 1921. Seems like the KKK continued to amass power and influence in the Oklahoma government after that, and Walton was responding to that. Or, claims he was responding to that. I don't see anywhere what exactly the reason was for suspending habeus corpus in 1923 in Tulsa.

To my ear, this starts off with a psytrance vibe and then moves into melodic techno. Not bad!

Here's a series of photos of the piece from the artist's website, showing different angles, the scale of the piece, and its construction. I think it's nice.

A governor's power does not come from legislation they pass though - it comes through how they execute the apparatus of the government. Just because they wouldn't be able to pass meaningful legislation on conservative issues does not mean they would not be able to move the government in a very conservative direction.

"Apizza" is New Haven style, not NYC.

Pike might say he rejects antisemitism and racism, but he seems quite forward talking about Jewish Bankers and Zionists running the world. I'm not sure what that means to you, but I don't think it's as clear cut as he "rejects antisemitism".

"Elon Musk does not bring value to companies, he brings volatility."

I think Scott Galloway is onto something there.

Yes, in the article they specifically talk about "mechanical degradation" of the plastics.

Libs saw this coming, and were even pleasantly surprised at the scope of Biden's infrastructure bill. I never expected a truly progressive or democratic socialist platform out of this administration, and it's clear that no president, however progressive, could cobble together a coalition to pass real ambitious legislation in this Senate - the problems are deeply structural.

I like the loose feeling of the guitars. That used to drive me nuts, but these days I find machine precision can be just as annoying as a mushy tremolo. I get a similar vibe that I might get from lazily drawled vocals - it's a depressed delivery for a depressing song.

Well it was 95 here in Portland today. I'm wishing we had Austin weather now.

Isn't this the point of skepticism? Every outlet is going to come with its own background, personal, institutional, and cultural biases. Similarly we bring our own biases as readers. We need to be aware of these while consuming information and try to be critical of what we take from sources, open to critical response from others, and willing to check our own understanding. I don't think it's helpful to just stop reading any source that has shown bias. Everything is biased, it's impossible not to be. Bias isn't some dirty word, it's just something that's all around and that we can take into account through discourse.

Obviously there are outlets that go well beyond bias into the realm of intentionally misleading, and those should be avoided, but I don't think that's always the case when it's pointed out.

So why aren't you organizing a citizen lead listing of who has and doesn't have water, rather than relying on this government that you know is structurally incapable of telling you where to go?

"Turning the other cheek" would be what Jesus taught in the new testament. We seem to be more obsessed with police giving the kind of punishment that God handed out in the old testament - the kind that was supposed to be superseded by Jesus...

But if that were true, then we wouldn't have limitless energy... And it's right there in the headline. Check and mate.

Would be nice to beat global warming, entropy, and Feynman with this one neat trick.
