There is a whole class of medical procedure that is essentially not covered by any insurance. Extractions? Sure, you can pull all the teeth you want. Bone grafts and implants? Not covered. US medical insurance is a scam.

So, I almost just broke Magic arena. The only reason I didn't is because of their hard cap on the max number of tokens. Yarok, Thassa, Lumra, Scute Swarm, Mossborn Hydra. Yeah, I had a 50,000+ / 50,000+ Mossborn. #MagictheGathering Final life total Me 521 Opp -50445

What. The. Fact? TIL that breast augmentation can thin the skin. Also that the material used can react to UV light. Thus, you can tell if someone has had a boob job by shining a black light at their chest.

In the US, 610 people die each day from accidents. Our idiotic government fails to do it on purpose.

Interesting, I just checked and SpaceX has to put people on the moon in 2027... or their "rapid development" plan is actually slower than the SaturnV.

My wife looks at me says, "The only explanation is that your cat is a dork." I say, "You're right. It's the only paws-able explanation." Then she threw a sock at me.

@wesleywatts.bsky.social Is there a way to insert a front matter page (copyright, ISBN, etc)?

If there is ever a time when "Use the force" is no longer a valid and well understood pop-culture reference, then I know my time on this planet is over.

Started watching Lanterns. Casting choices are... odd. The Sheriff looks mid 40s, but the actress is 50. Her "husband" looks like he's 19. The husband's father looks like he's 40. Does this get explained?

@wesleywatts.bsky.social I'm enjoying this piece of software. Once I find everything... I can't seem to figure out how to attach the cover. I also want to insert a single illustration, but so it won't create any orphan or widow text.

I got a dehydrator from work. I have tried several things, but the best is apples.

Old Pharmacy mixtures. Its a wonder anyone survived.

A very old bottle of Children's medication. The first two ingredients, copper arsenic and mercury chloride, are both extremely toxic.

@glynnstewart.com I'm really liking book 18, but I've found a ton of typos. I'm happy to pre-read for you if you need it.

#writing Going slowly as I'm in a part of the book that I don't really want to work on. Once I get going, it's usually OK. Almost to 40,000 words. We're going to have one more minor skirmish, then get ready for the big one. A couple hundred cybernetic water buffalo stampeding across Africa.

Quote of the day. Expecting Mitch McConnell and getting Lindsey Graham is like expecting chocolate chip and getting a snickerdoodle. No upset, just confused.

Kevin McCarthy @ogremkv.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

I honestly wonder if Graham had decided that enough was enough and pushed back against the current administration.

ELI5: Polestar cars are Chinese, even the ones built in South Carolina. Fords are US cars, even the ones built in Mexico. Jeeps are also US cars, despite being owned by French/Italian company and are built in Italy. Volvos are Swedish despite being built in S. C. and owned by the Chinese.

My prediction. In Democrat districts someone* will be found as a "non-citizen" trying to vote. The GOP declares that vote void and calls whoever the GOP controls to select the rep. Johnson will accept the false rep. The legitimate rep will not be allowed in. *who likely doesn't even exist

#Writing Didn't make my goal. I am just shy of 30,000 words. Life is rough sometimes.

#writing Topped 21,000 words, in about two weeks. We've got action, alien weapons, body horror, epic explosions, and a training on how to eat MREs.

A major component of my new book, The Day After, is to push Democrats to embrace Supreme Court expansion. This court serves as a permanent veto on any and all progressive legislation. We need meaningful, lasting change, and that doesn't happen without Court reform.

2000 words so far today. I need to run some errands, but I'm really curious how far I can get in an otherwise unbusy day. I have a 4 day weekend next week. ;)

In my limited sample size, introverts seem to have difficulty with having 2 or more conversations simultaneously. Extroverts seem to have no difficulty with multiple conversations simultaneously. Also, extroverts assume that everyone can be just like them. #introvert #extrovert

Less than 10 days and I'm already more than 12,000 words. Unreal and I'm having fun writing this fast and it's... decently good, I think. #writing

@adamchase.bsky.social @thewheatgerm.bsky.social In Tag... bikes cost 1 coin per minute. 2000 coins is 33 hours. Thats longer than 3 10 hour days. You could theoretically head for the hills on a biking trail that taxis can't use and no trains. Chasers have to walk.

I wasn't even planning to write tonight, but another 2000 words down. I'm going to be shattered at work tomorrow.

#writing I just wrote 1500 words in my second light novel today. How is this happening? I think it was "novel" that might have scared me. Now, I don't care what the word count is. I'm not writing to words, I'm writing to tell the story.

One thing I've discovered with writing a 25,000 word light novel in two weeks. You can really mess up your wrist tendons. #writing

#Writing That's it. That's the story. I need to really clean up the last chapter, it's all concepts and sentence fragments. But it's done. 25,000 words in less than two weeks. I've never experienced that before. It wasn't easy, but it was way easier than any other writing I've done.
