Trump Raped Kids ... and so did a lot of the rest of the political and oligarchic elites. Including at least one Supreme Court justice, every head of an internet goliath, and quite a few others. Go ahead, sue me.

Honest talk - in every run I've ever played I nerfed this guy when he first tried to be clever. I just don't like smarmy vampires, I guess. So now I'm curious.

Anyway, were you planning to pay taxes again? This is what is being done with your $$$ as well as killing brown children around the world and supporting genocide against the hated Semites by the privileged Semites.

Dear photography friends. I've given up on "social" media (I'll get shut down for posting the same image as one of my models, who gets 3k likes) and so ... ... looking for a simple webhosting site with a reasonable set of stupidly simple templates, ability to have an "are you a legal adult" check

Hard to describe how proud I'd be of the Irish team if they refused to play this match. Probably equal to the disgust I feel towards the FAI and Government for putting them in this position.

@arsecannonpics.bsky.social I've got a great one to share. THIS Is a rifled cannon, used for precision shooting by US Union forces in the civil war. This one helped break the Confederacy forces holding Atlanta, the last stand for the Slavers. At ATL History Center en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-poun...

Wife's birthday today! YAY! Her mom went off her meds about six weeks ago and picked Tuesday to go rogue and walkabout while manic for the last 48 hours, apparently without sleeping based on her texting schedule. Isn't it so wonderful how that timed out? So, anyway, we're having a great day. FTS

We must be allowed to break laws with impunity so we can birth the machine god before others, and if we can’t steal and hack and crime, then the inevitable machine god won’t have the values we want and you’ll be sorry. Sounds insane, but that’s a prevalent, influential, respected ethos today.

So, for the economics geeks and even @kairyssdal.bsky.social , re: End of American Dollar, this is quite interesting. Here we are talking forward, but actually the crossing line AS A RESERVE is a decade or so in the past. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

The body text has the story. The Gustav is a dark Schnauzer with a white goatee and eyebrows and a VERY JUDGING LOOK. In this photo, he is in the corner of the couch emitting many many "I DO NOT APPROVE" rays.

Yesterday was "fun" - pulled a muscle in my low back and triggered an old hip injury. Stabby pain that moves around depending on standing/sitting/lying down - no relief. Meds? Hahahaha. Also got our flu & COVID shots. Don't I feel fucking **FANTASTIC** today? No, no, the opposite holds.

If these dorks seriously believe there's a significant near-term risk of developing an AI that results in human extinction, the solution is simple and obvious: hang everyone who's trying to build AIs, for crimes against humanity and attempted genocide. The "panic" is bullshit from start to finish.

Sunday's we join a bunch of old timers at a local watering hole for the "Noon Breakfast Shot" which really tastes like pancakes and maple syrup, served with a side of bacon and a shot of OJ. When we get home I'm turning heritage blue corn into tortillas, while some chicken marinates and veg roasts.

Made breakfast today: Egg tart, fancy style. Puff pastry, of course. Gruyere cheese, carmelized shallots, home smoked bacon, egg custard (eggs, ricotta cheese, thyme and rosemary from garden, black pepper). 300F in convection for 25 minutes. As always, these photos are documentation, not art.

What the body text says - house made (by me) breakfast egg tart.
