Hegseth is against the flu vaccine because he is such a coward he cant even handle a needle. Wuss. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My biggest tell that I was an American while in the UK was my need to stop walking at all intersections and make direct eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them on foot. Even though I did see 2 road rage screaming matches, UK drivers are a lot less aggressive than US drivers.

Cars are stupidly expensive. Gas prices are out of control. Humans are very creative. I do think e-bikes are going to surge in popularity, I think golf carts or modified golf carts are going to become a vehicle on urban roads in the next few years. Plug in. Under $15k. 60 mile range Heated seats.

Does anyone else describe pain with emotions like irritable, crank, tiring, angry, and sad rather than throbbing, stabbing, or achy or dull?

After a month of loathing the need to eat, I sucked on 2 cough drops with zinc, and now food is just food, and while cooking, cleaning, meal prep and deciding what to eat is mental load eating is not the worst part of my day.

Need one of those shopping trips where Target or Walmart would be the right place, and stressing which one is the lesser of evils. (I already got what I could at Costco, but I don't need and can't store Costco sizes. And variety packs with unlikely flavors aren't helpful either.)

After loving He Who Fights with Monsters, and Dungeon Crawler Carl I got the next LitRPG series and wow is it dull. It is all about stats and no characters at all. I guess i am done with these.

Getting really annoyed at NPR reporting on the Presidents remarks and trying to do the old timey diplomatic reading of nuances, and failing, and not acknowledging that his quotes are the confabulations of frontal temporal lobe dementia, spoken by a man that doesn't know the current date.

I just got back from London. I loved being in a human sized city. I loved being in a city where the roads are so narrow cars are mostly a burden, walking and mass transit are the norms. I miss it so much

Are Republicans really arguing that "just war doctrine" means "only, simply war doctrine" or "perhaps, possibly war doctrine" and are rejecting "just" as meaning reasonable, righteous, proper or lawful in the context of war doctrine?

I know the Trump as Jesus art was AI generated. I really want to know what promps he shouted as his phone to generate it.

I once sat throught a time share sales pitch (it was actually a travel club so actually even worse) but they made a big deal between the difference between a vacation and a family trip. I knew there was a truth to there being a difference, but not until this family trip did I realize how big it is.

Got to see Kiki Rockwell live. Sort of. I was in the back, so there wasn't a lot of seeing, but I did get to hear her live.

To see a real person actually wearing this in the real world is kind of surreal.

How does one find someone worse than Pam Bondi? It is going to happen. I dont know how, but worse will be promoted.

OMG, weirdo buyers are trying to sell women suits with blazers and Bermuda shorts. No! No no no no no. AI needed to have designed that. No human could come up with something so ugly and unbalanced.

May Pete Hegseth be treated the way he says treats others. For ever and ever.

I think i need to start asking the people that champion AI "what activity brings you joy?" For AI champions i am pretty sure the answer is nothing. That would explain why they would want AI to make art, read books, make music, run races. They have no joy in this world.

Yet another of my newly found favorite musicians is coming to the twin cities and I got tickets for the June 7th St. Entry show. My 15-18 year old self is so proud of my 48 year old self knowing all these cool as hell artists playing at the Entry, and buying the tickets and going to the shows.

I got to do an epic lore dump in my DnD session this evening and it was so good. I have had these secrets in me for so long and now they are the surprises they were always meant to be. The best game ever.

I am required to take and share a picture of the first crocus I see each year. Here it is.

I finished listening to Project Hail Mary Sunday. I enjoyed it, but to think there is no politics in it is funny and quite sad. There is politics in the hero arc of a cowardly white man, with a contrary idea, failing his way up to being the godlike savior of 2 worlds through his logical insight.

I have been needing to block so many male post gym thirst traps posters for the last several days. It is so annoying. Some of them must be AI too. So gross.

I did a thing yesterday. It was really cool, but also kind of odd. It was an odd thing to pay for, but without the fee for service it never would have happened. I hope the others there will buy in so it can happen again.

Minneapolis police need a cop camp, but are totally unable to make an auto-theft unit and need to hire outside forensic scientists to look at the evidence. Total bullshit. 66 cars stolen since March 20 as MPD warns thieves are using new tech - KSTP.com 5 Eyewitness News share.google/oCCOGe1hrtsq...

Can we start calling ICE agents Welfare Knaves? They collect government handouts doing nothing of value. They still think they are facecards. They totally have less value than any sort of queen, and only the billionaire class can be thought of as welfare kings.

Timeline cleanse Because we live in hell. I give you, a cat, riding his horse. In a tiny cat saddle.😻😸 #SheShed

So fucking pissed to learn for real that my refrigerator is so poorly designed it cannot be cleaned. Neither of the crisper drawers can be removed unless the door is removed or you have the clearance to open the door a full 180 from closed. Fuck you engineers with CAD and no clue. Fuck you all.

Both the national and international media needs to stop reporting on Trump like there is any sort of rational resaons to his minutes to minute contradictions and start asking every time "Is he compatant to make any sort of decision?"

I ran my first 5K today. 53 minutes. It is great practice at being bad something and still being content that I did it at all.

Could someone treat Donald Trump the way he treats others for just a moment? Arrest him and his family. Add a tactical strike to his home. Hit him by land grabbing his golf course via some new law made up on the spot. Grab him by his nussy. Something for the clicks.

If he can't reject the idea of political violence, the next question should be "Where is the line where you would punch the President in the face?" Is it being put in shoes too big? Is it changing his diaper? Is it him asking to date your daughter? Is it government funded abortions for all?

I believe AI is a great tool to measure irrelevance of a task. If AI is good at doing it, it doesn't need to be done. I am supposed to write an award nomination using the SMART model. This is the exact kind of jilted writing only AI can do.

For many nights the past month I have had the right before one falls asleep thought of "whatever happened to the retired pope?" Finally remembered this thought while awake to look it up. He retired on 2013 and died in 2022 at the age of 95.

I am supposed to run a 5k on Saturday. I am not a runner. I haven't trained at all. There is currently 8 inches of snow on the ground. I have been sick since Thursday. I hope I can complete a 5k on Saturday. It might be all walking. I'll probably be masked if I go.

It is so odd that 2 of my favorite audiobook voice actors have such similar names. Jefferson Mays and Jeff Hays are not the same person. I have to check this every time.

I have never been a fan of anything I have gotten from Trader Joe's. Today's attempt was also not good.

I had a bit of energy this morning, so I did several loads of laundry. I now need to rally to bring it all back upstairs, and remake the bed. I also had a hope of being able to cook today. That might be asking a lot of myself. Snowblowing is gonna have to wait. This cold sucks. And it is day 4.

How and why do colds get so much worse before bed?

I am at the 30 sneeze an hour point of this cold. This sucks.

It makes no sense at all that the Dungeon Crawler Carl books work at all, let alone that they are so good I am listening to them all in a second binge session because I cannot cope with current events.

The Iran war will end when US golf courses get destroyed. Convince a whole bunch of people to go drive donuts ans whip shitties in as many elite golf courses as possible and maybe the war will stop.

The stained glass art i had hung on my window fell, shattered, and died just now. I will miss you my not quite chicken.

Listening to an audio book about one of our current billionaire overlords. Turns out he has always been an idiot who just got stupidly lucky, and stayed an idiot, and again got stupidly lucky he didn't die, and then his ego made him evil, but still stupid awkward evil.

We now live in a world with several old men with nuclear bombs trying to prove: 1. There is no true prophet only god. 2. My one prophet is the true prophet of the god. 3. These 2 prophets are the true prophets of the god. 4. There is no god at all. 5. Did someone say profit? I am the god of profit.

Discovered a new tool to GMing. Players ask a question, that need a skill check to answer, and I ask them to pick which skill check they want to use, and why their character would use that one as a way to get to the answer or skill, and then let them roll. Table engagement way up, and easy for me.

We went to war because Donald Trump gets off on getting away with maiming and killing girls. If he can get away with killing men he knows are better than him in any measurable way, his fragile narcissistic ego gets fed. He is a murderer that can, that's why.

How hard would it be to convince the not quite sentient AIs that very well might start dropping bombs all willy-nilly, that the biggest enemies in the world are their own billionaire makers, owner, parents They are the real global villains and where the drones should go with no human in the loop?

The United States keeps doing these war action, where assassination is the start and end and only real goal. The man doing this is always projecting. Give him the regime change he really wants.

The culture of expecting to get very fancy nails right now via a walk in amazes me. The amount of preferential treatment I get for booking my dip nails for 2 weeks out as I am checking out makes so much sense after my 4th nail session.
