New Communist Food Delivery Service Just Delivers You Empty Containers Then Shoots You Mr. Castro said he was inspired to start "Red Apron" after hearing so many Americans praise the incredible riches of Communist Cuba. "It fills me with joy to hear Americans want to experience a little slice of Communist life," he said as he loaded his pistol. "We here at Red Apron allow everyone to get a taste of what total equality is really like. You pay for the basic subscription, you starve, and go to the Gulag. Do you want a premium subscription? Starvation and gulag. Let's go spread some equality, boys!"

Every Minute

JJ Grey & Mofro · Ol' Glory (Deluxe Version) · Song · 2015

I tried so hard to be the person Everybody thought I was I pushed myself and everyone Almost over the edge This mirrored light that sends back Everything that you send out The grace you give, given back Loving every minute you live Feels so good to be warm - in the sun Loving every minute of living So good to be warm - in the sun Loving every minute of living The evil deeds that we do Screaming from the headline Can't stop to read, or to watch 'Cause I ain't got the patience or time To live a life of despair To live by another man's word It's always been in your hands To live the life you want while you're here Feels so good to be warm - in the sun Loving every minute of living So good to be warm - in the sun Loving every minute of living I don't care, what you say to me Everywhere beauty is all I see And it don't make a damn 'Cause there ain't nothing to take from me I'm loving every minute I'm loving every minute I'm free So good to be warm - in the sun Loving every minute of living It's so good to be warm - in the sun Loving every minute I'm living Good to be warm - in the sun Loving every minute I'm living Good to be warm - in the sun Loving every minute I'm living Loving every minute Loving every minute I'm free

More people are getting bitten by dogs - the badly socialized pandemic puppies are now adults? (The article says its not clear if this is an anomaly or a trend)

Today I’m reminded there’s a huge difference between a 58° / 14°C ice bath and one of 50°/ 10°C. The latter is way more uncomfortable slash invigorating!

Was looking at this map yesterday. Wondering what it means in the context of changing political climate. Also curious why Florida doesn’t have permitless carry.

Milei is crushing it in Argentina’s primaries. I’ve never in my life seen a strong libertarian candidate get results like this.
