I know we all have much greater problems but my co-workers simply cannot allow the microwave to run down to 0:00. It’s always flashing on some time less than 0:10. Like that additional 3 secs was going to ruin their reheated Chinese food.

As for the Niangua, I only tried my preferred method of swinging trout Spey. I thought that with the water being so low that it would be best to use small soft hackles. No takers. So I switched to my pheasant rump micro -Intruder and immediately caught trout in the riffles.

Matching the hatch, Bennett Spring style: the flesh fly. Sleep in. Roll up to the stream about 10 am as the limiters start to clean their fish streamside, and throw the discards back into the spring branch. Throw an unweighted flesh fly. Catch fish! Top is rabbit, bottom is faux fur.

Also pictured: the ticket for the kayak rental bus lol. We did a 5 mile float, lots of dragging the kayaks through bony riffles, even below Bennett. Mainly as a way to see how floatable it would be on our paddle boards. I’d want about 6 more inched of depth before I’d float it on my paddle board.

Bennett Spring State Park and the Niangua River. Swinging mini-intruders on the river with my OPST 3-weight Micro Skagit was the high point. The river is pretty bony but there’s still fish in the rifles and tailouts. Also The Beloved slayed them with a tenkara rod while sitting in a camp chair!

Elon Musk can’t buy the universal love and admiration he so clearly wants. It’s not enough to be the richest person in the world. He also wants to be seen as the smartest boy in class, the kingmaker, the savior of Western Civilization and even the #1 best video gamer! Take notes from Dolly, loser.

Dolly Parton took her fame and fortune and used it to do good. She took criticism and changed things in her entertainment empire related to the less savory legacy of the South. The billionaire bros sitting on their dragon hoards will NEVER be as beloved by pretty much everyone like Dolly.

I always hear from libertarians that regulations aren’t necessary, the public could use the power of litigation to restrain polluters or other general corporate malfeasance. This is yet another reason why right-libertarianism is just billionaire worship for stoners who want to marry minors.

The Odyssey was great. Yes it changed some of the story beats. I’m pretty sure that “Homer’s” Odyssey wasn’t the same as the earliest oral tradition. The beauty of mythology and legend is that it has always been fluid, changing to address the times.

The planet is literally on fire. Every year the fire seasons get worse, the fires get larger and more intense. The change is accelerating. This is more than just and environmental or even economic problem. It’s a moral one. People WILL suffer and die. We can make a difference. To ignore it is a sin.

Small businesses are the ones that would benefit most from things like universal healthcare, child care, etc. Imagine the boom in entrepreneurship if people were no longer tied to wage slave jobs for health insurance. And that’s just another reason why the rich don’t want it here. They need bodies.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.
Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow. The parliament or the people of 1688, or of any other period, had no more right to dispose of the people of the present day, or to bind or to controul them in any shape whatever, than the parliament or the people of the present day have to dispose of, bind or controul those who are to live a hundred or a thousand years hence. Every generation is, and must be, competent to all the purposes which its occasions require. It is the living, and not the dead, that are to be accommodated.
