Left the birdsite on Sink Day; hoping to reconstitute my feed. It's now been over a decade of my being annoyed that "djt" is no longer a viable handle anywhere.

I dunno, he strikes me as a “don’t tell me I didn’t warn you, the sesame is visibly dying” kind of infamous.

I would make the argument that Hadrian-Antoninus Pius-Marcus Aurelius was a near-optimal run for the time, and even that ended up with Commodus, eurgh.

I thought about it for a minute, then thought, “no, it’s been a difficult week, I don’t want to make anybody do extra work.” So… I helped?

Also, are you guys really on the hook for half the fees incurred when you had to panic-move your bank account because they screwed up? I read the ruling a couple of times and thought “I hope that doesn’t mean what I think it means.”

You know, neither the Trump Ballroom™️ nor the Trump Arch™️ are complete. We’re still at war with Iran, and they surely still have drones. If those state-of-the-art facilities were done, DC would be impregnable — but as it is, broadcasting his specific location and time sounds like a dare.

I keep getting campaign mailers from Husted that insist that Sherrod Brown’s slavish devotion to the Left’s policies will cause runaway inflation. And I think about Pappy O’Daniel berating his idiot son, “How are we gonna run on reform when we’re the damn incumbent?!” youtu.be/W8AgOozM8KQ?...

Leviticus 19:19 says “Do not mate different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.” That “Let’s Go Brandon” t-shirt looks like poly-cotton to me. Shall we stone the unbeliever?

I maintain my film-enthusiast kid’s Plex server because his sister got him some movies that were region-locked. It was either get a multi-region DVD player ($100+) or set up Plex (free software, repurposed old hard drive). Easy decision.

Not new ones, no, but she’s doing a sort of “director’s cut” version now that the rights have reverted to her. The first two are out — _Daughter of the Sun_ just released a couple of weeks ago.

She goes on, “You said it would take a few weeks. Clearly, you did not know what you were talking about. And you're sounding like Richard Nixon when you say you're going to end this right after the election.… “The fact is so sad about this war because it was could've been so totally avoided.“

Don’t sweat it, folks. If the Supreme Court has an overriding belief (aside from “The Voting Rights Act was illegal”), it’s “debt forgiveness is unconstitutional.”
