Waar is dat feestje? Hier is dat feestje!
iykyk.
Valid.


Long day. Tired. But never too tired to honor a hero.


The science is settled.


SSPX remembering their biggest ally today, thinking back upon better times.


Ate dinner in an inadequately cooled restaurant.
Mistake.
From a buddy:
SSPX: how come you never excommunicate heretics?
Rome: *excommunicates heretics*
SSPX: not like that!

But that’s essentially it. No milquetoast tendencies in the modern Church justify the open rebellion of SSPX.
I really do think paid relays are the way to go around here. Nobody's getting rich off of this whole Nostr thing, but we need it.

I do have to hand it to the SSPX bozo show, though: all they’ve done since 1988 is managed to get even more people excommunicated.
There is no true path to improvement in the Church involving a path outside of the Church. These poor souls have the script flipped, and will not be a part of the solution.
FAFO. They get what they deserve.


That's because my family's native country, good sir, is a [crappier] version of Germany and France.

The heat index is 108. I am staying out of peoples' way today.
Speaking of baseball: Happy Bobby Bonilla Day to those who celebrate.


I'll never forget stepping in to a scorching hot Target after an Anaheim Angels game and seeing people standing in freezers. I couldn't stop laughing. This is the US, and supposedly one of our prime states, not the developing world. It was surreal.
Good work, everyone.

The heat deaths in Europe -- the majority of them -- are morally reprehensible, The money is there to generate the energy to cool dwellings en masse, even if those funds are now being wasted on low-yield renewables.
Do it, hippies.
Build the nukes. Admit defeat, and...


My father must be so proud: 10 years of higher education, and I mostly just use it to hustle bar trivia with my team.
But we did it in the heat, friends. So at least there's that.
GN.


No one should ever make a dumb "dry heat" joke. Yes, truly, at least it's a dry heat. 110 in Death Valley is much easier than 90 with a dew point of 78. Cherish your humidity-free region if you live in one.

Illinois humidity is its own kind of misery.
Somehow, the world survived OpenAI's 2019 release.
Somehow.
