He's talking to about 20% of Americans who live in rural areas where they can get cheap Walmart butter. Yeah, "a stick" is $.77. But you can only buy a pound. He's never bought groceries. He's a total dipshit. There's so many better things to attack him on.

This is Riley. She's my beagle. She dresses up like an orange cat named Kevin to get more meals. She also strongly disagrees with Kevin's dieting restrictions. Do not feed her, she already ate.

Interesting dish: Old Number 7 taco. Flour tortilla, melted brie, arugula with apple cider vinegar, pickled blueberries and red onions, and topped with pistachios. #foodsky
An enjoyable taco, plated, on a table. Ingredients described in the post.

#Foodsky: I submit to you kalua pork, mac salad and corn, alongside a mai tai at Trader Vic's in Atlanta. Really hit the spot.

Is there a #DessertSky? If not, there should be. #FoodSky might be okay with it. Idk.
Pineapple upside down cake at Trader Vic's in ATL. Delightful dessert.

They don't care about the people who live there, just keeping the circus going for all the clowns who love the orange buffoon.

#DrunksOfBluesky why haven't you told me about the mescal mule? They're exceptionally delicious; the smokey flavor balanced with the bite of (Fevertree) ginger beer and lime juice is a delight.

I live in a very red area and I see more signs for Abdul than anyone else. Happy to see it, and I was very excited to take four voters to early vote for him today! I hope it makes a difference!

And look at the proliferation of flock cameras in Michigan, watching your every trip to buy a gun or cannibis or booze, or pick up your kids from school or get a haircut. Ref: deflock.org Police state anyone? #FuckFlock #FuckPalantir
Haley Stevens supporting spying on her constituents and having Palantir and Peter Thiel talking right into her ear, this screenshot documents how much of Michigan is spyed on by Flock surveillance cameras posted on public roads paid for by our own tax dollars.

They could have just put a Grindr flag at half staff, as is tradition for "southern gentlemen."

I got home and took out Riley to play in the grass and roll around all day. #JustBeagleThings
Just a happy beagle, Riley, getting pets and playing in the grass.

I don't remember what I ordered, but the fact that they light something on fire (the glowie burning steel wool[?]) to serve it to you immediately makes it twice as delicious.
A fine alcoholic beverage I am consuming at a bar at the Venetian. They lit some steel wool on fire to stage the drink nicely while serving it.

Here's what mine looks like -- it hosts on an rpi and handles proxying and encrypting the traffic for 5 services. You can see the first section and its replicated below for separate servers/ports.

Have you tried filthy olives -- the ones stuffed with tiny pickles? It's kinda like a tiny burrito of briney goodness.

Late flight from DTW to LAS and it was even later thanks to poor coordination from #delta and the ops team on the ground at Detroit. Had to wait over two hours for gate checked bags to get loaded.

Both my beagle puppy and I are thrilled. She too loves curling up with a good book. Congrats!

First class upgrade on my return flight from Jacksonville. Had a wonderful time leading a client's workshop. Both are definitely a welcome perk. 🙂

I don't normally eat like this, but I gotta say, when in Canada, get the damn poutine. The burger also has breaded, fried jalapenos. The flavor is so good, and it really showcases the Canadian beef. The place is Burgers Priest in London, ON. Great workers, great service, too.

Last minute booking to Jacksonville. Exit row plus no middle passenger isn't bad. At least I'm not squished into a middle seat in the back.

Staying in Montreal, had a few drinks at GaZette Bistro and Bar in my hotel. Not the best view, but it is a Westin, so it is good rest.

So Denver is pretty nice. Was at the Convention Center for a talk to a nice sized crowd, and got to get out for some good food at La Loma and checking out a cool clock tower from my hotel.

Age verification? This was my first personal computer. When I was 5 or 6, I sat down with a magazine (which they published code in) and keyed in a snakes game. I also played Hunt the Wumpus and Tunnels of Doom and stored data on cassette tapes.
