buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”

hey uh seems weird there wasn’t a vote to replace him and instead one of his family members did like we live in a dictatorship or something??

Okay, see, that’s one of the least weird things about all this. In most states, the governor is allowed to appoint people to temporarily fill elected positions should the seat become vacant due to death, resignation or other circumstances. This is, emphatically, temporary: the seat is only filled for either the remainder of term, or until a special election can be held, which is often done within six weeks of the emergency appointment. I’m a SC resident, and I’m fairly certain that Graham’s seat isn’t any different: he was already up for reelection this year anyway, and I’m pretty sure there might be a special election held in a few weeks to fill his position if necessary. Filling the seat is largely treated as ceremonial, since under normal circumstances the appointee wouldn’t be allowed to hold the seat for longer than a couple of months, but this case is getting more scrutiny because 1.) the appointee is literally Graham’s only close relative, with the appointment being treated like a memorial to Graham instead of an impartial political seat, and 2.) Republicans have been exploiting a lot of the procedures around appointments lately in order to try and maintain their grip on the government, and some folks think that they only put Graham’s sister up so that all of the “Vote Graham” signs around the area won’t confuse inattentive voters who then wouldn’t vote for the chosen candidate in the election proper. It’s a whole mess, but the appointment process itself isn’t actually the problem here

Point buy, but there's a collective pool of points and you have to play Hungry Hungry Hippos to see how many of them you get

burnout from not doing anything

[skinks]

I love that thing when people get a little bit tongue-tied and garble what they’re trying to say so they make a little “blegh” 👅 noise and start over. verbal reset button. hitting the top of the tv to unscramble the signal

Happy Moon Landing Day (July 20, 1969). It does move a little, sometimes.

one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.

Honestly fuck AI for making me have to go on and on defending the dignity of toil like I’m some kind of protestant
