Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 06/05/2025One of my MAGA colleagues thinks it's great that Trump starts his day thinking up and posting trolling posts. "What can I do to make their heads explode?" That's where we are. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Based on Tesla's Cybertruck insurance woes, it's more likely your insurance will be canceled! 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Any judge worth their robe should dismiss any such case sua sponte. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Nerd pet peeve of the day coming from a chemical engineer: using the word "insoluble" for an unsolvable problem. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 10/03/2025The Trump Economy, the Trump Stock Market, and the Trump Social Security and Medicare Policies are extending my working years. Lovely. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 27/01/2025How do you say no immigrants please without saying it? "Looking for a current listing of available, highly recommended cleaning people. Need someone 2x a month. Would prefer someone with good communication skills. Thanks." I'm embarrassed for them and their ilk. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Well, to start up with the times, I call it a "Lazy of America". 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Now that the President has issued an RTO EO for government workers, it'll be interesting to see if my MAGA partners issue an RTO for our staff. Very interesting indeed. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 21/01/2025And then I mentioned that Trump didn't go to Biden's inauguration. He had no idea! None! And other than being MAGA, my partner is intelligent! 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Ignorance is not bliss. At lunch today one of my MAGA partners negatively commented on Michelle Obama not being at the inauguration. I said Trump has said evil things about her and Barak for a decade, so why should she go? He said that's not true, Trump had never said evil things about the Obamas. 020
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 17/01/2025SCOTUS upholds Tik-Tok ban. As part of the per curiam decision, we get this: "A determined foreign adversary may just seek to replace one lost surveillance application with another," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in his opinion. 100
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Hmm. Does this change anything? Greenland has a nationalized health care system. Greenland’s health care system is publicly funded. All residents are entitled to free health care services, which include general medical care, hospital treatments, and specialist services. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 21/12/2024So, did de facto president-unelect Musk and de jure president-elect Trump get owned last night? 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Yep, every now and then you have to clear out the refrigerator. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Every dad out there would have pardoned his own son. Get over it. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 28/11/2024I follow the Janis Rule: subtract your age from 100. If you read that number of pages and the book hasn't grabbed you, move on to the next book. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I'm listening to Constituent Services by @scalzi.com Although I've only just started it, I have to say that as a Tufts graduate I know it will be great! 😁 110
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 23/11/2024I do both. When I'm walking or driving, it's awfully hard to read 😁. Where I'm sitting around, I read physical books, preferably with photos and illustrations. I "read" more now with all of the options! 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Well deserved. Definitely the text, not the sale. A fun read. One of the funnest (don't let the dolphins see that word!) 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 23/12/2023I finished Starter Villain. What a hoot. Definitely worth a read, despite the use of both Imperial and Metric units of measurement. 🤓 Moving on to The Kaiju Preservation Society. So far, just as entertaining. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 29/11/2023What other authors are on Bluesky? I'm up for reading anyone. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 29/11/2023Thanks for all of the comments on "Starter Villain" or "Lock In"! I'm still waiting for @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com to chime in. 😁 I love his books, too! I'm starting with "Starter Villain", then "A New Eden" by Menilik Henry Dyer, then either "Lock In" or one of Neil's newer books. 000
Skeptic @larry17th.bsky.social · 28/11/2023@scalzi.com I know this isn't fair, but "Lock In" or "Starter Villain"? Or a different one? I read all genres. If you recommend one, I'll read the other next. 😁 450
