I knew a folk singer who did the college tours in the 80s and then became an accountant. He then put all his music to download free (before Lehrer) because why not.

Trump said that if I didn’t vote for him, gas prices would double. It looks like he was right.

Six minutes until the store opened up, and my saved phone wasn't even there. But still made it under the wire for 9/18 delivery.

I don't care what your abstract thoughts are about abortion, what you think you're accomplishing or who you think you're saving. If you're against it, on demand and as a choice between provider and patient, you wish me dead and you wish that my daughter was never born. Fuck you.

15 years ago, in Brooklyn, my wife's $300 Trek was cable locked to a post, and my $2500 Rivendell Atlantis was cable locked to hers. Someone cut both locks to steal hers. It was a much less expensive lesson than it could have been.

The best thing about working the polls is how many happy voters there are. Everyone voting is having a good time.

Ugh. S1 & S2 were great, and S3 made no sense. No need to remote control the car and a wasted episode And what about the poison atmo? Juliette needs "good" tape, but Silo 17 had to be gunned down. And if they had drones, why didn't they shoot Juliette before she got to Silo 17?

A straight up third term is Trump as veep and an immediate resignation from Vance. 100% legal within the text, since he’s not elected president.

The nature of politics is talking to people and having relationships with them. If you don’t want to do that, find another career. If you don’t want to do that with the real-world humans you represent… well, you’ll have a lot of company at the Capitol I fear, but you fundamentally suck at your job.

I don’t see how that works. “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”, and the “two years” is “of a term to which some other person was elected President”. It’s not as vague as “insurrection”.

When I was made a VP at Morgan Stanley, my wife asked, “VP of what?” The answer is “VP of my desk.”
