I went on YouTube to learn how to fix something in the house, and for more than an hour I've been watching a guy react to listening to Rage Against the Machine songs for the first time
I've now watched three reaction videos to Know Your Enemy, and every single one had a joke about how the guitar sounds like 80s video game, which is true, but it's also got one of the most innovative guitar solos of all time.

Still gives me chills to this day.
Also

1) No I haven't been watching RATM videos all afternoon

2) No I haven't done anything productive today

Last time I caught the cats randomly staked out in front of the dishwasher was two days before the dishwasher broke from a mouse eating through the drainage tube.

Guess now I have a fun project for the last day of 2019.
Plot twist: I pulled out and investigated the dishwasher. All looked good. 😎

Then I put the dishwasher back and.....now the drain pump no longer works 💩
If I start a cleaning cycle, then reset it, the drain pump will quietly rev three times, then give up and throw an error message. I've checked the impeller. Nothing's blocking it.

1/ We filled up one of the bathtubs with water last night because the city had to shut off the water on our block to fix a water main.

Once it came back on, we didn't want to waste the water in the tub, so we've been using it for various things throughout the day.
2/ A little while ago, the house was quiet and my wife was watering plants with tub water when we heard a splash and a brief struggle, and then saw a sopping wet cat run through the house.
3/ The tub we filled is one we never use, but we had kept the door closed specifically because our cat Chatchat loves to run across the house, and then jump into it (without looking), so she can play and slide around

In Dec 2015, candidate Trump criticized Obama, who had been president for 7yrs, saying Obama had "played 250 rounds of golf"

Today, Trump is making his 251st taxpayer-funded visit to one of the golf resorts he still profits from and said he wouldn't visit if elected.
In less than three years in office, Trump has almost surpassed Obama's eight-year golf tally, which Trump relentlessly criticized on the campaign trail in 2016 (as the video shows)
Aside from golfing less, Obama also never played at a course he owned or profited from.

Meanwhile, Trump has played almost exclusively at Trump-brand courses, providing taxpayer-funded promotion to businesses he still profits from citizensforethics.org/trump-conflict…

Rage Against The Machine and The Police ✊

Sabtu 23/11/2019, tiba-tiba alat berat kembali menyerbu masuk ke kawasan pertanian di Banjar Selasih, Desa Puhu, Payangan, Gianyar. Kali ini mesin alat berat itu membawa beking sepasukan polisi.
Maksud penyerbuan sudah jelas: alat berat akan membuldozer kebun-kebun pisang yang sudah ditanami oleh Serikat Petani Selasih.
Padahal hingga saat ini status tanah ini masih dalam proses penyelesaian konflik LPRA atau TORA (Lokasi Prioritas Reforma Agraria) yang diusulkan oleh Konsorsium Pembaruan Agraria (KPA).

Something that has interested me in recent months: Trump's approval rating has increased a bit in live interview polls, both surpassing the online polls (for the first time) and reaching the highest levels of term
nytimes.com/2019/08/07/ups…
I often see a 2016-based view of 2020 in my replies. They take Trump '16 support, and then say Dems can win with incremental changes like higher black turnout or a better candidate.
I don't think that assumption works, in part bc Trump is also stronger than he was in '16
And again, none of this means Trump is favored. His ratings are well under 50. He'll probably lose if he's at 45/55 with RVs and I'm pretty agonistic on his chances over the long term.
But all of this strikes me as pretty important for the way to think about his position

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
