People who are only engaging with social movements via social media are not going to be able to grasp the depth of collective discipline and strategy that people are coalescing around across the country. It’s not No Kings peace policing or lib brain rot. It’s almost invisible tactical maneuvering.

Aged 16 went to my girlfriend's house for the first time. After dinner with her folks I was desperate to use the bog and was surprised how low it was. Did a shit and realised it wasn't the bog; pushed the shit through the plug hole with my fingers. Never seen a bidet before.

Happy grilled cheese day to those that celebrate
A grilled cheese sandwich alongside a bowl of tomato soup.  (For those interested cheddar, pepper jack and havarti on sourdough. WITH bacon, and no the chef is not entertaining the argument that bacon makes it a melt)

I’ve watched Trump’s unedited speeches for 10 years now, since he started running in 2015. He’s fucking dumb. And there’s all these “distraction theory” and “controlled chaos” arguments and the bottom line is he is a dummy who doesn’t understand anything.

Eat dirt, old man. The Democrats did not talk too much about race, gender, and sexual orientation. It let Republicans talk constantly about it--demonizing and politicizing multiple identities while Democrats cowered.

At the VA for an early morning appointment. An older volunteer with a full on snowy white John Brownesque beard complimented me on mine. I replied that I was happy to hear that from an expert

Just updated my Mac's OS, and one of the first pop-ups I get is about "Apple Intelligence." So PSA for people who don't want this (because who does?): if you have the latest OS, go into settings and turn of Apple Intelligence.

The Feb 14 drop date is no joke, THE GORGE puts the Love in Lovecraft. What begins as a workplace meet-cute at the mouth of madness spirals into a first date, if not from hell, then straight into the bowels of Hell itself! A genre-bending sci-fi action fantasy championing poetry, vinyl & rabbit pie.

A lot of new followers today, I assume from the KC list. I’m working on following back, starting with people I recognize from the bad place. If I don’t recognize you, vetting may take longer. I will get to following or blocking, hang in there. In the meantime at least make an intro post, it helps.

the vast majority of people, even those with collegiate degrees, do not have time for a liberal treatise on issues. they need information fast and quick and the other guys are more than willing to lie to them in a soundbite. the bare minimum we can do is give them the truth in a blip.

Last game for my nephew’s Homeschool team. The team they are playing is so small my sister in law told me to bring a lawn chair because no bleachers. Which isn’t a big deal, but I’m SUPER glad to know before getting there!!!

Didn’t need to reveal it, everyone was cool. But as I left I think I saw the guy that made me buy the shirt in the first place. Same 2024 Revenge hat and sour face anyway. Didn’t feel the need to confront.

Did my reverse trick-or-treat & took hand filled variety bags of small size candy & 1 full size each, to the few kids in my neighborhood. There are only 3 houses with kids and nobody goes door to door here. Still have to drop off for my brother’s family.

You couldnt do much in India while they ran it, but the one thing you could do whenever you wanted if you were in a position to afford the trip was jump a boat and sail into London and be admitted without question. The literal British Empire was less xenophobic than the modern GOP

After voting I hit a drive thru for a meatball sub as a treat. Looked across the street and remembered the Mexican place had a Friday Quesabirria taco special. So, tacos for lunch and sub for supper. Hopefully this isn’t the highlight of the election.

Addendum for other Jackson County voters who might want to use an early/absentee location. They have a bathroom, BUT it’s not available until you reach the check in table since you have to pass through the actual voting area.
