iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

For any candidates or staffers: pick a thing in this, fireworks, island rental, the bar bill, whatever. Figure out the cost. Cut an ad showing how many dinners for a family of 4 that would buy, or tanks of gas, or doses of insulin. "They're getting a party; you're getting the bill."

Never going to get over the fact that "making things dirtier and poorer" is exactly what Ohioans said poor people from Appalachia were doing when they started leaving coming to Akron, and Toledo, and Middletown.

Stuff like this is why olde-tyme vaudeville comedy like Abbot and Costello was good for people. They did whole bits on Abbott doing a run around on Costello, borrowing money from him, then lending it back, and at the end Costello owed more than he'd had it his pocket to start. This is same deal.

*sigh* I want to be charmed by how the Steelers unite the city, and there's consistently been good dudes on the team (Ward, Polamalu), but then there's these guys. And the QB is always the well-spring of it.

Ok, Hawks. If we could have a great season this year and not imperil my dad's health every game, that would be super.

So, yah, pretty much, then. (Montana? Well, the Minnesota great-grandparents did briefly homestead there.) Beggar's Night. IYKYK.

I had an ugly message board argument in undergrad back in the early 90's. Kept telling this very confident dude that they weren't just coming for abortion, they were going to come for non-barrier contraceptives, too, claiming they were abortifacients He said that was crazy and it would never happen.

The US military used compressed air for vaccines for 30 years

We've been getting our military vaccines injected with painful needles for decades, like a bunch of chumps.

Isn't it funny how they key to dominating the future is to pour more money into what these dickweeds are already invested in?

I love Maytag Blue. Great stilton is life changing. So is a truly sharp cheddar. Aaaaaged gouda, like, crunchy gouda Manchego with green peppercorns in it Swedish Vasterbotten This German Hirtenkase that apparently isn't imported to the US anymore and which I will miss forever.

In a town where you could only get one station on the radio that played rock of any kind, 120 Minutes was like a transmission from another world. Heck of a week for GenX

A substantial chunk of what's wrong in America today is hack culture infusing its way into everything. LLMs and AI crammed into everything? Hack Culture. Prediction markets? Hack culture. Picking candidates with no experience but the right vibes? Hack culture. A better world requires The Work.

No PA peaches this year because of an April freeze, no new NPS Gettysburg battle walks this year because of a heat emergency. This summer is ass.

This military parade Trump is watching in Beijing... Reckon it's a 50-50 shot now that it inspires him to either order a ground invasion of Iran or demand US troops learn to goosestep. He's gonna want that flags every 5 feet on the roof thing, too.
