Got a new labeler that identifies Trump’s face in a picture and hides it.

Times I am taking care of business: Every day. Ways in which I am taking care of business: Every way.

God listening to Taylor Swift talk about herself is mind numbing.

What’s going to happen is that ICE is going to arrest everyone attempting to carry a vape or edibles through the TSA checkpoint. No one is going to explain to those apes that we just don’t check for that anymore.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

Eeeeeeeeee! 🎶

So they’ll use ICE to replace the three agents who do those jobs (and I’m pretty sure there are no guards at the entrance gates anyway). They should just hire temporary workers. They’ll be just as effective and won’t wear masks.

Someone ask him if ICE troops will still be masking up.

This looks excellent. It has that Between Two Ferns and Crunk on Life feeling to it.

When we do an Instacart delivery I take advantage of the delivery person’s youth and vigor* and I add all the heavy items I personally have a hard time** at the store with, like cans of dog food and soda or a 10-pack of paper towels. *Yes I know many shoppers are my age. *So we tip very well too.

Excellent use of ALT text.

My first modem was a 1200 baud model. I used it to access Compuserve circa 1993.

I can see the moment Trump thinks of the joke. His face brightens, and he works the word “surprise” into the conversation so he can tee up the joke. The man is a failed standup comedian. All his appearances are standup opportunities.

Big iced tea matchup on Friday

Remember when they used to count and track every new Trump lie with a link back to its original source? They counted over ten thousand lies in his first administration but now seem to have given up during his second.

🚨 IT'S ELECTION DAY 🚨 This is it. Today decides everything. Let's make it count: Knock doors, make calls, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone you know in IL-09 makes their voice heard!

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

Every kid growing up in Southern (and probably central) Connecticut would go to the Mystic Seaport and climb aboard the Charles W. Morgan wooden ship. They also had a cheesy seaside village set up where you could watch a blacksmith or other colonial craftsperson and then visit the gift shop.

Major crush circa 1973.

Good middle of the night to fellow travelers.

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

I’ve got to reset my watch. I had 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481117450284102701938521105559644622948954930381964428810975665933446128475648233786783165271201909145648566923468

Was this a digital leveraged buyout? It sounds like the strategy was to load the company with debt while letting AI take over the content, knowing all along that the drop in readership and this bankruptcy would come.

Also, a shout out to Alaska Airlines, who have stepped up to do a total replacement for my wife’s Pride scooter. They managed to kill it while bringing it up from gate check in Seattle. They left the rear gears and motor engaged and then forced the scooter to roll up the ramp. It blew the motor.

Finally sat down to assemble a folding shower chair that we can bring when we travel. The number of parts in the box was threatening and I’ve put it off a while already. I failed to snap a before picture, but here is the result. Now we won’t have to request a room with a handicap accessible shower.

This is the most Black Mirror thing anyone has ever said.

This sounds like a plan Steven Miller would promote and which Trump would support, not thinking through the negative effects of raising sea levels by 500 feet.

So primary him. Let Dem leadership know we are tired and frustrated by the behavior of our reps who only think of their own power. It isn’t just about having a majority. It’s about having a majority that can hold against GOP bills and impeach government officials who deserve it.

Geez-us.

What does gasoline cost, per gallon, in US dollars, in places like Canada and Europe? I found a price of $1.77 per liter but I don’t know if that’s in Canadian or American dollars. My point: Americans are complaining about $4 or $5 a gallon when the rest of the world has been paying more forever.

I watched the McCartney documentary on Netflix and now I have to find and watch a documentary on Lennon’s first album so I can get all those silly love songs out of my head. Found a doc on the making of Plastic Ono Band. That will do.

DST fans get their big reward tonight when the sun doesn’t set until much later. Time to start setting those after work tee times. (Except I don’t golf.)

I am Graham Platner's age. I too was in the post 9/11 military. I also grew up in a small town in the Northeast US. I am also a college dropout with PTSD. And I am telling you: anyone from my demographic who had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years is either a Nazi or too dumb to be an effective US senator.
