I need to know your complicated feelings on golf courses. Please

(Disclaimer that I still hate the sport of ball golf*; mini golf and disc golf are both way above it on the list for me)

Okay so basically when I needed an econ senior thesis topic I wanted it to be environmental econ related and made the mistake of thinking collecting information about the harm of golf courses and how that land could be better put to use was a good choice 🤪 and then I actually started looking into it and well...

Turns out! Golf courses can be bad but a lot of them are actually pretty good about water use and more importantly about water re-use. Additionally, I know we'd all prefer they be replaced with way more nature and greenery but the "rough" (wilder areas) and water features can actually attract quite a bit of wildlife, especially if they're filled with local plants

Also the majority of water use in this country and especially in more water-lite areas is for agriculture which golf courses are not part of 🤷‍♀️

My thesis included more suggestions for things that could be changed or added to the Golf Course Experience TM and further suggestions for decreasing water usage quickly and easily but yeah...

TL:DR most golf courses could probably be better about water use in multiple ways but as a whole they honestly aren't as bad as people would like to believe which makes it difficult to just full out call for them to disappear

That being said, as someone who doesn't play ball golf, the sport seems both boring and somewhat elitist (country clubs aside I don't love the dress code aspect) so by and large I am still opposed to it as a sport and institution

*I'm referring to it as ball golf bc I've learned from a disc golfer that ball golfers hate it being called that which amuses me bc I'm petty <3

For Years my brother has been fucking with me by periodically texting me to say Jimmy Carter had finally died. Today the bit has paid off.

The response to my reaction at work was “what do you MEAN ‘for real this time’?????”

I fucking hate it here I’m crying

Ignoring the real possibility he intentionally let himself be caught from the little we know so far Luigi Mangione's case is a fascinating combination of astonishing brilliance and confusing stupidity. This young man plans and executes his assassination and escape with such a meticulous care and calmness that it's suspected that he's a professional hitman. He comes up with Riddler-sque moves like writing his manifesto poetically on the bullets and leaving his backpack behind full of Monopoly money. He carefully wears a mask to avoid being identified but removes it because a woman who was checking him into the hostel was flirting with him and wanted to see his smile. He still manages to escape the most surveilled city in the country in the midst of ongoing national manhunt only to get caught in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Pennsylvania while eating at the McDonalds. Because for some reason he had the same clothes and mask as in New York and was carrying the same gun and suppressor. And when the cops detained him he showed them the same fake id he used in New York. And oh yeah he's a frat bro gym rat who has a masters degree in computer science from Penn but reads stupid self-help books about being on the grind and is 'anti-woke' while being bisexual suffering from anxiety and wanting to end oppressive capitalism. Not even god himself could invent a person like this

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.) If you want an extra verification, find your state's election website and double-check there.

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)
