Good to see that WaPo is focusing on the topics that really matter, the executive actions that have an impact on voters’ lives. Award winning stuff there.

Im probably focusing on the wrong things, but I saw a tutorial on how to make and monetize an AI web presence, and I can’t stop thinking about that.

Nearly 7 months since I messaged him, and nothing. I suppose António Guterres is a very busy man. Still, if you don't ask you don't get!

This little guy lives in my basement (Ottawa ON), about an inch (2.5cm) from front leg tip to back leg tip. Does anyone know what kind of spider this is? Still too cold to throw him outside.

I've worked on ships where the only coffee on board was Community, unless somebody got fancy and brought out some Cafe Du Monde. It won't kill you right away, and you'll get used to the taste before it does. I'll stick with my run of the mill (pun intended) Colombian.

I googled it too. While I would in no way excuse the actions of these monsters, sensationalist claims are another thing I can’t abide.

Apparently 59 of the people I follow on here follow @johnnyruut.bsky.social. While I don't begrudge anyone their opinions, I'm not obligated to agree with them and it is really easy to block people whose opinions I disagree with. I've blocked this goober, because I don't need the negativity.

You don't need a kindle or a kindle account to do this. Every little bit helps!

I don’t need a follow back. I followed you because I need 70s music and references to movies that didn’t need special effects in my time line. Thanks for keeping it fresh.

This one was also making the rounds. Probably not statistically accurate but makes the point that voter suppression/voter apathy is why we can't have nice things.

This is precisely what's meant by "Unite. Organize. Become unstoppable". Gather intel, strategize, use tactics like shielded formations. Intelligent protest is effective protest.
Post suggesting making protest signs of heavy plywood to be used as shields, in formation, by protestors. Also suggests protective gear found in hardware stores and home-made armor vests made from duct-tape, hardbacked books and tiles. Along with using police scanners to track law enforcement.

Don't use a weenus for a penis. You could make a scrotum from them perhaps. But it would make a terrible penis.
