Before or after the midterms?

One fine day in the late 1990s, I was introduced, in rapid succession, to MP3s, WinAmp, and “Fire Water Burn”, so the latter is a bit of a milestone in my personal chronicles.

Seb*, the orange guy, is inhumanly patient with Linda, his little adopted sister, who likes to cuddle up against him every chance she gets.

Only three episodes in myself, but have enjoyed everything I’ve seen so far.

Is it just me, or does the series itself have, in a very good way, more emotional depth than the trailer seemed to convey?

Tori Amos’s “I’m on Fire”. Stripped down to the bone and somehow all the more powerful for it.

FWIW, Kagi’s AI usage defaults to opt-in on a per-query basis — you have to end the query with a question mark — and they just recently announced new options to disable even that, so they seem to smell which way the wind is blowing.

I can personally attest that paying for Kagi is absolutely worth it. Good search results out of the box, with all kinds of available filtering refinements (“bangs” and “lenses”) on top of that.

Wait, is Marc Andreessen not even trying, then?

Circe, can’t you see?
You’re just not the girl for me.
I know it might be wrong, but
I’m in love with Circe’s mom.

I think it’s far more likely that potential donors are exasperated with candidates’ fundraising messages: they talk about elections like horse races, instead of saying, forcefully, “If you vote us in, we WILL bring these bastards to heel.”

Are there Birkenstocks with socks, or is that not the variant of Eurotrash you’re aiming for?
