So, BJ’s is running a massive sale on their…tubes (I have no better description) of ground beef They’re like huge discounts and I was looking at the prices and in shock I said “holy crap, those are Biden prices” A guy behind me actually guffawed. 😂

Man, you want some tactile whiplash Try switching between a machine using an Apple keyboard from the early 2000s and then a modern Apple laptop keyboard The 2000s keyboard is like pushing keys that are made of little miniature marshmallows (still a great keyboard, just a very different feel 😂)

Although I am going to quibble with some of its choices for Halloween/horror movies I don’t know that I consider “Predator” a horror movie OTOH - Dellamorte Delamore (“Cemetery Man”) hohohohoh, oh fuck yeah that movie is messed up ❤️😆

Ok, I gripe about Plex, but this is kinda cool. It has a Halloween playlist it created off the movies on my media server.

Screenshot of Plex on my phone showing a playlist called “Oh, the horror!” that I didn’t create that it apparently generated from my video server (Delphi)

In addition to the aforementioned Dr. Shiva bus - woman at grocery store had an awesome hoodie that said on the back “ I’ll let God fix it If I fix it, I’m going to jail” big boat of an 70s sedan honked at Lexus nosing out & was gesturing at him in various facial expressions of WTF _both hands_

OK, originally this was funny as hell because I thought that asshat, ”Dr Shiva, ‘Inventor of email’” was living van life in a sad looking campaign bus after getting BTFO in his last campaign run. Sadly no, he’s now planning to get BTFO running for Senate again using this sad looking campaign bus

Picture of an ancient “Partridge family” style school bus painted blue with red highlights and with a bunch of gibberish advertising the senate run of serial fabulist Dr Shiva

Good luck* to him, because it’s not gonna do him any good when he gets blown the fuck out in the election.

I’ve blurred the restaurant that he’s parked next-door to, because it’s one of my favorite restaurants and I don’t want to smear their names by even being in close proximity to this. (it’s parked in the parking lot next-door) good for you I’d think

What’s just pure Trump about this, is Donald Trump basically insisting he could have run the illegal initial Russian invasion of Ukraine better, while in _month 4_ of his “two week” illegal war on Iran.

All the discourse did get me a little curious, so I fired up my third-party Twitter app (yes there’s at least one that still works) On my “following” feed, there’s only like four people left out of the hundreds I follow/ed. I’m kind of glad I checked, I was still following PAX there - note, WAS.

You all. My book is out. You can buy it and everything. You can ask your library to carry it. You can put it in tiny libraries by the side of the road. Nobody can stop you. It's available in all the places, but you can get signed copies here: schulerbooks.com/authorarmoxon Go do the thing!

A promotional image for Fighting in the Dark, by AR Moxon.

On the left side, a thumbnail image of the cover of the book, which features the title in blue text in a diagonal, and the authors name in white.

To the right of this, two blurbs, the first of which reads:

"There's a think A.R. Moxon does that I've watched other political writers try and fail at: he holds fury and tenderness in the same sentence. He names the traps fascism sets for us (the false unity, the offer of easy complicity, the fake peace that asks you to pretend people aren't being hurt) more clearly than anyone I've read. This is the book I've been handing out piecemeal for two years, finally in one place."
-Parker Molloy, The Present Age

the second blurb reads:

"In this absolutely brilliant marriage of storytelling and political insight, Andrew isn't afraid to speak truth to power. In fact, he gets up in its face in the middle of the cafeteria and challenges it to a fight."
-Wil Wheaton, author of Dancing Barefoot and Still Just a Geek

Autocorrect used to be so good the mistakes were funny BECAUSE they were either rare-ish or they were consistent on a particular word (see “ducking”) Related, 10 years ago voice dictation was so good (iOS) that I used it almost constantly - now it’s so bad, I almost never use it anymore
