Just going to hang out and take things easy. Disregard first sentence. Generally easy to get along with, but interact at your own risk.

I saw this yesterday and watched it several times. It just keeps getting funnier.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

This is a fun novel with some parallels to that.
Cover of science fiction novel titled Cachalot, by Alan Dean Foster. It Features a futuristic yacht with a very large sperm whale surfacing behind it. The ocean is blue green, and the sky is streaked red and orange.

That he is so comfortable writing something like that and disseminating it to many millions of people is something that needs to be corrected.

The most mind-boggling part is that the guys writing this sort of piece don't recognize that we are so far past the point of talking to the other side that it's not even funny.

It's fucking vile. That article is all over TikTok right now, and there will be no catching up to correct any narrative that people have already formed because of it.

My semi-educated guess is that it's smoke from a failed attempt at afterburner ignition, when raw fuel is dumped into a very hot jet engine right behind the turbines. The vertical look is almost certainly an optical illusion.

If you don't understand why men are getting lumped together, you have not been paying attention *at all.* Well-deserved ratio.

The beard stuff is just so stupid. I wasn't in that community, but still ran across them occasionally. 45 years ago they were so freaking squeaky clean we called them high-tech low-drag [redacted]. And beard waivers for bumps were super common then.

And the reason for that is because it's been incessantly pounded down our fucking throats and into every digital tool they could fit it in despite many *many* people saying they don't want it.

They got away with no consequences on the first attempt, there's no reason for them not to try again.

I got radicalized on it probably 30 years ago during a first aid class when I saw a photograph of a seven-year-old with a fist sized chunk of meat missing out of the side of his face and only one eyeball to his name. Done by the family dog.

It's pretty rare for me to have to do it since I retired, but my go to responses were usually "what do you mean by that?" and "what was that? I didn't hear you." They get the point really fast when you make them repeat what they said.

And it's the main way that rapists are put into positions of power where they are allowed to not punish other rapists.

Oh boy. I'm gonna leave you to it. I had my fill with the constant bitching about reservoirs holding rainwater versus capacity to hold snow melt and the timing there of on the west side of the Sierra.😁

This is giving me flashbacks. "Newsom stop dumping are water in the ocean" and similar. "No water? Are farms can't feed you"

I'm finding it much more difficult than I thought it would be to come up with an actress that fits the prerequisites.

I saw a clip a few days ago about a woman somewhere in Arizona talking about teens running through a neighborhood doing this, but they're wearing dark clothing and black facemasks. I'm really surprised it hasn't ended with a fatality or two.

I only have two questions: how does one "continually exited a vehicle,"and why did they use a a picture of him from 1999? 😁

Entirely possible that people like that will still vote, because they may not vote for a particular Republican, but they will *never* vote for any democrat. My biggest concern is that some non-R voters will also stay home because they will think that everything is in the bag.

Yep. We stopped hanging people that betrayed the public trust, and that was probably the largest mistake.

I was stationed at K Bay when the first F-18s crossed the Pacific and had a squadron land at the base. They put up yellow tape around them and wouldn't let us go check them out, and we worked at the H&MS for the MAG.

My favorite hill coaster that I ever built was an ironing board with pencil rod axles and 10 speed wheels, with the board elevated as high as it could go. Getting lined up with the center of the road was critical. Having my sister be a reliable judge of cross traffic speed was pretty important too.

If you want to see something wildly off the charge, Monsters of God on HBO is unbelievable. It's all about reptile smuggling into the US. Sex, drugs, and endangered species and that's just in the first 30 minutes.

That encounter happened almost 30 years ago and their whole identity was based on James Dean, and now that that highway was enlarged and moved a few miles north they ended up sucking hind titty.

Let me tell you how old boy was *pissed.* I sincerely thought he was gonna tell me to get the fuck out of the store. Maybe the only reason he didn't is because I was handing him money for the drinks I was buying.

The store a few miles east of the actual crash site has a sign in front that says "James Dean's last stop." I got read for filth in their one time because I mentioned to the cashier that technically the store was his second to the last stop. You'd have thought I had insulted the pope.
