This morning I awoke with the following idea for a campaign issue:

People over the age of 65 who can should retire to create opportunities for the generations that followed them.

Courts should fast track this one to make an example of them. Arrest them and sentence them this week.

And don’t be ashamed about it. Don’t advertise it, but also don’t hide it. It’s 2024 and we’re allowed to ask for help.

Yeah, it’s about projecting confidence when you want something and you’re intimidated by it.

It gets mighty expensive.

I had the biggest crush on a coworker, but I stick to this rule like it’s oxygen. I waited to ask her out until after we stopped working together. To my surprise, she said yes.

Shit, I was able to get my GED to get in to college, didn’t complete, and get a job at one of the biggest tech companies on a prestigious project without completing either. But I was self taught and lived and breathed tech stuff to get there at 29 while the people with CS degrees were getting there at 22, so there’s a downside. But it’s just a piece of paper.

Looks interesting. Marked it for exploration. Too many cool projects to explore and not enough time!

I only got around to blocking subs that are in other languages in the last couple of months. I should have done so sooner.

Two. And one of those was Blog Oklahoma cause I was tired of seeing their submissions and didn’t wanna block the community. I think blocking should be reserved for people who are obvious trolls only. I like to drink from the firehose.

Drink from the firehose.

We drove an hour to a restaurant that we’d accidentally found to be awesome earlier this year. It’s out in the styx a bit. I joked with my partner (who is obviously from another country when you hear her speak, plus non-white) that she should stand up and declare that she’s an immigrant and she’s voting for Harris. It’s sad that that’s a funny joke because it implies that we both know that we were likely in the presence of at least a few racists. The food was excellent, however.

What a great idea. I hadn’t considered this. There’s no chance it will happen with our crazy reverence of the free market, but a sane country would respond this way.

Hypocrites every one of them.

“The Palo Alto Fire Department recovered approximately 550 gallons of the mixture from the storm drain,” the report said. “The incident occurred while Tesla personnel were draining the system.”

Put Lonnie in jail, ffs.

They argue that trustee Christopher Murray does not have a right to the social media accounts as property that can be sold, and warned that a purchaser could face lawsuits as to whether they were rightfully obtained.

I’d like to buy it and start posting LGBTQ-positive content. I’m not part of the coalition. I just think it’d be fun to watch people react.

Jones is appealing the civil jury verdicts, citing free speech rights and questioning whether the families proved any connection between his comments and the people who harassed and threatened the relatives. He has since acknowledged that the shooting did happen.

Yeah, Margie TG just happened to follow a kid shouting at him for being part of a coverup and recording it on her phone be coincidence. It’s not because she gets her talking points from this asshole.

This account popped up in my media some time in the last week or so. I’m not sure if it was in a podcast or in written form. I strongly suspect it was the QAA podcast because they did an ep on X accounts last week. Not sure if that one was public or private (I’m a subscriber on Patreon). Anyway, nobody with two brain cells thought this person was Black. MAGAs, however… are easily bamboozled.

Edit:

Last month, the account posted what Black Insurrectionist claimed was an affidavit from an ABC News employee, alleging Harris was given questions in advance of the network’s debate with Trump — which ABC News vigorously disputed.

Oh, right! It was definitely QAA. They talked about how the screenshots showed emails with differently formatted dates (like Monday, 1st September vs Sept 3rd, Wednesday, and shit like that). Also, there was a visible text cursor blink in one that showed that the text captured was just edited / typed. They laughed at how sloppy the forgeries were. MAGAs, however… are easily bamboozled. Fucking morons.

If it was me (which it was), I’d set a reminder and then every time I got a notification, I’d push it off until later. Also, I’d hate my(past)self for making the commitment to have to deal with the notifications.

I also found that a bit unexpected. But also, they may be banking on the idea that before science was a thing, you might not be certain that regular decay would poison the water and maybe you toss in the guy with plague to ensure you get the desired effect (not that you wouldn’t throw in an non-diseased person if you lack a plague guy).

Some of the former Louisiana cops Higgins has associated with have been accused by law enforcement officials of severe wrongdoing—including allegedly participating in a sex trafficking ring in one case and of committing incest in another.

They only pretend to care about sex abuse happening to children.

In 2021, a year prior to Higgins posting a photo with his hand clasped with Boudreaux’s, a New Mexico jury convicted Boudreaux of incest after a teenage relative accused him of sexually assaulting her between the ages of 14 and 18.

See my first statement.

Jerod Prunty is another former cop in Higgins’ orbit who caught the attention of law enforcement. In 2019, Louisiana police arrested Prunty and nine others following a 17-month investigation while he was working in Higgins’ district office as a field representative. Police alleged that Prunty was part of a sex-trafficking ring involving Chinese women who were reportedly forced to live and perform sex acts at local massage parlors. “We are shocked and saddened to learn of allegations against Jerod,” a spokesperson for Higgins said in a statement before Prunty resigned. (Prosecutors did not pursue charges against Prunty, who did not respond to a request for comment sent by email.)

They only pretend to care about sex-trafficking.

The judge deemed the years-long period during which Boudreaux allegedly raped his then-minor relative in Louisiana to be inadmissible. Nevertheless, in February 2021, a New Mexico jury found Boudreaux guilty on the incest charge, a felony offense.

See my first statement.

Louisiana is shit stain state.

Oh, great point that I’ll add to as I have battled insomnia all my life. If possible, develop a rigid sleep cycle where you get up at the same time every day and go to bed at the same time every night. Set an alarm and get up to it even if you have the day off. This helps me to a great degree. Once the pattern is set you can drop the alarm on days off because you’ll likely still wake up fairly early out of habit (I usually wake up at the time when the alarm would have been or an hour after and feel quite refreshed doing it this way).
