During Trump's first term, the contrarian take was that George W Bush was still a worse President than him. I...really don't think that's true anymore. I think that he's blazed utterly past every other possible contender for the title as well, and in fact I think that he did it in the first few days with DOGE.

I tried meeting homophobes 'in the middle.' This Pride, I'm through

Opinion: After the 2016 election, writer Josh Ackley tried to find some middle ground with far-right fanatics. That strategy proved to be fo

And for years, we have been asked to perform an extraordinary act of emotional labor: Attend the dinner, keep the peace, avoid difficult conversations, stay friends with the person posting anti-trans rhetoric, and smile through the election cycle while treating our own rights as a topic too impolite to discuss. We are expected to absorb hostility in the name of civility while the people creating that hostility are rarely asked to sacrifice anything at all. The burden of maintaining the relationship always falls on the people being targeted. At some point, every relationship reveals what it is built upon.

“The middle” is not where most people think it is. “The middle” is we exist and have the same rights and freedoms as everyone else.

If people can’t meet us in the middle that’s on them, and is an important sign about how much of our precious time they’re actually worth.

something about Toy Story toys is so strange to me. versions of animated characters based on real world toys, turned back into toys that are slightly different than the actual toys. slinky dog with a rubber spiral instead of a classic metal slinky. the porcelain bo peep and cloth woody turned into jointed plastic action figures. when toy story 4 came out and i saw a $30 talking action figure of forky, a character made out of a spork and a pipe cleaner, i stood in the walmart toy aisle staring at it like cameron from ferris bueller's day off staring at that painting in the art museum

Interesting 1960 mid century home in Coos Bay, OR has 3bds, 2ba, 2,680sqft, $475k.

Oddly, some of the rooms are disorienting. There are round cylindrical walls everywhere. The living room is quite large and has access to the terrace.

Maybe it's the camera angle, but the kitchen is wonky. Look at how the ceiling in the kitchen on the left doesn't go up to the top. The kitchen is so large, that the fridge is almost in another room.

Interestingly shaped bedroom.

The main bath has a shower.

Round hall comes around to the stairs to the lower level.

The stairs lead down to the ground level bedrooms and family room.

Bedroom #2.

The 2nd bath has the same shower/sink layout as the bath upstairs.

Bedroom #3.

The laundry room is down here and it's unusually large.

The family room is quite large and very curvy.

This must be the garage under the house.

There's a very large deck.

And, it does have a yard with a garden.

Approx. 1 acre lot.

That's Coos Bay, from an estuary of Coos River, that flows inland from the Pacific Ocean.

They left a lot of good design in this 1970 mid century modern house in Buderim QLD, Australia and it only took 38 days to sell at $1,452,000. 5bds, 2ba, 3648.97sqft.

It has a large living room with a slanted ceiling and wall of glass for a great view.

In the dining room there's a built-in sideboard, not sure if the table is a built-in, but they left it.

The kitchen has some oddly high shelves.

I'm gonna say that this is a combination family/dining room next to the kitchen, and thru the glass wall is the rec room and pool.

They left some more rocks in the rec room. A few kegs make up a bar and a glass barrier separates the pool.

Views from a small area by the pool. There's not a lot of space around it.

Spiral stairs that go up to the bedrooms, are surrounded by loose stones and a decorative pile of rocks.

Stair details.

The bedroom is plain, but it's big.

In the bath the tub and sink are surrounded by rocks.

Not sure if this the primary bedroom or a family room, but it's big and overlooks the main floor.

This bedroom is bright.

You can see the small jut-out by the pool.

7233.35sqft lot.

I heard you like shapes. 1982 geometric house in Annapolis, CA has 4bds, 3ba, 2,511sqft, $895k, (Zillow's est.: $821,800)

The living room is in the front where the large triangle and round window are. It's shaped like an A-Frame.

They must've strategically centered this tree in the window.

There's a loft above. Look at how there's a triangular opening in the wall and the beams go right over it.

The living room opens to the kitchen.

The kitchen is nice and straight thru, you'll find the dining room.

The dining room is the room thru the beams.

Down this hall, past another beam, there's a bathroom.

The loft above the living room has doors to a deck.

There's a bath on the left. Look at the cutouts in the wall.

The bath comes to a point.

The spacious main bedroom has sliders to a deck.

And, it also has a shower room ensuite.

The deck is nice.

This bedroom is used as a home gym.

Back down on the ground floor, this room is used as a home office.

This covered area is very nice.

Out in the yard.

Lots of area for gardening.

Chickens. This is a nice coop.

I guess this is a shelter for the dogs.

Look at this, they like to swim in the river on the property.

40.09 acres of land.

People always get so weird about my participation in the Flat Earth Advocacy Group. For the last time, we aren't cranks, we aren't conspiracy theorists, we're definitely not geocentrists, and our policy think tank is fully aware of what shape the planet currently is

The worst types of cookbook:

The Ottolenghi - it is vital that you use 1g of this very expensive ingredient. It comes from a 500g bag with a one-week shelf life.

The time machine - 15-minute recipe! First, leave to marinate overnight...

The dishwasher - one-pot recipe! Now decant your ingredients and wipe out your pot. And again. And again. And again.

The optimist - cook the onions until caramelised (2 minutes).

The kindergarten teacher - get one nommable little tree of broccoli and bosh that into boiling water. Delish!

The brand names only - ingredients: Ritz crackers, Philadelphia cheese, Cool Whip, orange Jell-o...

The 1950s palate - use one (1) clove of garlic and a small pinch of chili flakes (omit if preferred).

The why bother with a cookbook - to make beans on toast, gently heat a tin of beans and put on top of freshly buttered toast.
