If you aren't a @talkingpointsmemo.com reader, you should be. Rigorous, reliable independent journalism is real. It's available. And it's worth it.

@faineg.com, I spent quite a bit of time coaxing Grok...I mean, America...into revealing what it could about its internals. Once I got past the "ask me a process question" loop, the results were interesting.

Who stole the life from you? Who turned you so against you? Who was the thief, who shaved your teeth Accepting just virtue? And did he act alone? Were any more complicit? When he would sing, and offer the ring What older voice said, "kiss it"? Who? Who? Who?

If this is how they're going to handle being ignored by the media, I say make the boycott permanent. Dear Leader's word salad and hot takes from a website no one visits except to monitor it for new corruption is a perfect venue.

My "dream come true" is getting rid of American oligarchy, holding this regime responsible for its countless crimes, ending poverty, hunger, and homelessness, #MedicareForAll, improved education, action against climate change,

I just realized what Octodon means when he says America is in the midst of a "Golden Age". He means that it costs a ton of literal gold to survive. Gas prices here are up $0.20 in two days. Diesel has topped pump price displays (maxed out at $9.99/gal) in some places in California. Got it.

SOOO glad I filled the tank of my hybrid today.

The line for gas at Costco today was bonkers. I don't blame any of them. Shit's gonna get crazy with the Saudi pipeline being hit and the Houthi gains in western Yemen.

The older GenX crowd & most of the boomers I know on my socials are almost fetishizing the 9/11 memorials today. I don't remember the day or the aftermath well...I was in crisis due to a domestic abuse situation....but the constant stream of eagle images & flags feels performative and fake to me.

So far I am loving my new life in Madison. It's so good to be back in the Motherland!

I’m exhausted, but in a good way. I moved into my apartment two days ago and I’m already unpacked. My art is on the walls, my bedroom just lacks nightstands and my books will have a new bookcase tomorrow.

On a day when I drove from far northern Vermont to Erie, PA on my way back to Wisconsin, I literally waved at Lake Ontario from Watertown, NY. Fuck Donald Trump. That is LAKE FUCKING ONTARIO! And fuck Google, too.

I leave for Wisconsin in less than 36 hours. My joy is immense. So is the anxiety of driving cross country from Vermont with two stressed out cats who'll need to be sedated. But home beckons. HOME!

I just got push polled here in Vermont. I wish I knew who put the poll in the field.

TS Dolly: "The timing of the use of the name Dolly for this storm is purely coincidental. Tropical storm and hurricane names for the North Atlantic Basin originate from six pre-determined rotating lists established by the World Meteorological Organization Region IV Hurricane Committee."

If this happened to me in elementary school, I'd have been shunted into low-wage labor. My grades were shit by middle school, I had a rocky home life, & I grew up in the 'hood. Instead, I busted ass, have worked in IT for 25+ years, & have a BS in IT & almost a master's in ed psych. Fuck this.

Today's stupid question: Why can people figure out how to use a smart phone, including establishing a wi-fi connection, setting up email, etc... But they're too stupid to know what to do with their shit at self-checkout and have to be told 'Please place the item in the bagging area' over and over?

I think we should organize a "Welcome Home" celebration for these sailors that includes good food, all the comforts of home, free mental health care, and a punching bag with Donald Trump's face on it.

Stole this photo from local media...taken between Fairfield and Georgia, Vermont. It's been a hell of a night in the northern part of the state with rainfall rates pushing 2" an hour and a lot of wind damage reported.

I'm almost completely packed for my move back to the Motherland and I don't even leave for another four weeks. Not having books sucks ass.
