A bipartisan group, led by fucking Marco Rubio of all people, has introduced the Sunshine Protection Act, which aims to make Daylight Saving Time permanent (as in, we are always on Daylight time) and abolish the practice in several states of Springing Ahead and Falling Back or whatever.. The legislation was introduced Tuesday by Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, James Lankford, R-Oklahoma, Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Mississippi, Rick Scott, R-Florida, and Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts. This may be the ONLY issue in 2021 that both conservatives and liberals can get behind together.
This weekend may be the last time we will need to Spring Ahead on our clocks, folks.
I, for one, welcome our new clock-stopping overlords.

all the states on the west coast voted for it but can't actually change until Congress lets us, but taking everyone along with us would be nice
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
... I could be wrong but I don't think that line's in Rent.
and just never fix it
THERE'S NO DOWNSIDES
No one's written me back

now
Whatever time your alarm clock goes off, it is always that time, the sun is always screaming
Having multiple people working at the center who could explain that I was, in fact, emergency services support staff sped things up a bit, but overall, pretty painless.
British Columbia also is set to do it, but can't actually change it until California, Oregon, and Washington do, so there's some domino shit going on here
Moving to Hawaii would actually be rull practical for someone like me who doesn't need electricity or running water. I bet I could get a badass little shack built in paradise
Yes.
How much do you like giant bugs and wild roosters?
I'm pretty sure its actually 8 minutes ahead, time zone wise.
edit: fuck I'm slow.

I actually like it getting dark at 5 in the winter but
Is what it is
Some of the different attitudes between the two eras are interesting already tho. China's got a long tradition of biographies, but they're written very much in a tradition of like officials writing about the official accomplishments/failures of other officials. So personal lives aren't mentioned much, but every now and then there'll be a very casual reference to like, the emperor's boyfriend getting some plum assignment because he was hot but not competent, and that causing discord, etc. China didn't really have a concept of homosexuality as an innate identity the way the concept Homosexuality in the modern west developed, but instead they talk about it in like being similar to other people or acts. So like the most common reference is "the passion of the cut sleeve," where the emperor cut his (ridiculously expensive!) sleeve off rather than wake his male lover he was sleeping next to. This relationship was very clearly understood in a romantic and sexual sense though, there's no like, "Well maybe they're celebrating male friendship." So you wouldn't say that so-and-so is gay, but you'd say that his feelings for his buddy evoke the emperor's cutting of his sleeve and everyone would be like, "Oh, gotcha."
Tokugawa Japanese is way more slangy and crass about male/male sexuality, but it's also got the very Greek vibe of like the manliest, purest love is between a couple of dudes. But they've got specific terms for relationships between like two Proper Men vs relationships with a feminine man, and a couple of others too, and each of those relationship forms kinda have their own norms about how it's supposed to be talked about and felt about.
don't worry it'll still get dark at 5 pm. it just won't get dark at 4 pm after a lovely 3:30 in the afternoon sunset.
I. Have. Spoken.
Yukon went ahead, so now we deal with Pacific time, for our BC customers, and Yukon time, for our Yukon customers.
In addition to dealing with Mountain, central, and eastern because we also cover the NT and Nunavut and gat dang.
The worst is that right now YT and MT are the same, but in a couple days, MT is going to go ahead of YT and it's going to be fucking wild.
no it's the one where it's very late and then it's suddenly not so late and then it's suddenly extremely late
