Trying to get tickets to show in at a gay bar in London for when I am there, and Ticket master won't let me. I am very confused why it is so hard.

Why is the act of feeding one's self so much damn work? The shopping. The cooking. The cleaning. The decisions. The actual act of eating. And one has to do it all 2 or 3 times a day, everyday? It is something to whine about tests for sur.

The fact that there are so many billionaire, and that they are such absolutely horrible human being, and that they survive any daily encounter of another human, whom they have exploited by nature of them being a billionaire, is a data point in the hypothesis that humanity is becoming less violent.

I have been in quite the book slump this year. Nothing is really hitting. I have read 7 books so far this year. But none have gripped me to compete with doomscrolling.

The other night, in what I assumed was a bout of nihilistic YOLO, I watched an old man shovel heart attack snow while smoking a cigar.

I have moments when I really feel for career AUSAs. Even a couple of years ago was a normal, respectable dream career of many who go into law. Federal cases meant putting away big scary bad guys, with really complex cases.

We gotta stop blaming boomers for everything. Elder Gen-X is proving to be nuts.

New PR of 99lb clean and jerk!

When your very sick rabbit is being an absolute flirt at the animal hospital one must go with the impatient care. He gave the vet tech kisses. He got diggy in his blanket and he showed his opinion on the way too small litter box they offered. He still hasn't pooped in over 24 hours.

If you want to maintain car culture you need to be 100% on board with paying average people a hell of a lot more. In order for people to be able to afford $35k base model car you need to pay them a lot more. Knowing what people are paid these days expect a lot more $5k cargo e-bikes.

The witches and astrology girlies said today is the day. I don't expect the predictions to be accurate, but it would be lovely it they were.

30 minutes ago I got a corporate communications email from my employer about Gratitude Gift. They are proudly giving us all NAIL CLIPPERS as a sign of appreciation. I hate this world and want off this timeline.

I was supposed to be doing session prep this afternoon, but all the digital source books I bought access to are now gone without real notice. 2026 is the worst year because greedy ass monsters are fucking everywhere fucking up everything.

Looks like DnDBeyond removed all legacy content from mobile without any notice. It might be off the web version too. I am so frustrated with this. Welcome to the total enshittification of everything digital 2026.

I am starting to realize that the Roomba's programing is weaponized incompetence taken to a higher level. It is weaponized incompetence with so much group buy it is gaslightingall who use it.

"Can I ask you a question?" "Guillotines. The answer is guillotines. I no longer care what the question is."

Heard Amy Klobuchar on NPR this morning. She really is not the right person for anything right now. She really supports the authoritarianism and illiberalism that is going on right now.

The same economics minds that insist grocery prices are down also insist that the Dow is at $50,000 and somehow these are the people ruling the world.

I had never heard of Cloudland before this afternoon. Found their calander for the month, and they kindly give genre descriptions under the band names. So I gave the band in a perfered genre a listen and now I am very excited about my next show.

I keep seeing news about Target firing 500 in supply chains so they can hire store staff for a "customer experience". Has anyone in the C-suites shopped retail of any sort since 1989? No one is coming back til they do the right things, and apologize for the wrong things.

Over a hour to get an app to scan a passport and read the birth year correctly. If AI cannot scan and read 1942 and not 2042 then why oh why are we relying on it for anything.

There is a thing that that I was very scared of but now am very excited about. When I started this journey my loose target was October but that was when I was scared. My first meeting about this is in 2 weeks. I know October is best because I want a good summer. But patience is hard.

Email marketing is so weird. I bought a mattress from a company. Why would they think I was still in the market for a mattress? It is a once a decade purchase, not a once a week purchase. Stop. The spam does not leave favorable brand impressions.

Reading The Twisted Ones by @tkingfisher.com and it is creepy AF. Got to the line "Do you know there are monsters in the woods, and if there are monsters in the woods, then the whole world is not what we pretend it is? Do you understand?" while living in MN in 2026. Now I need a break to cry.

Some needs to look up how much Amy Klobuchar has invested in the for profit prisons industry. She sits on the Border Security and Immigration subcommittee and has nothing to say about the current ICE situation. It's got to be money, not her own personal cruelty right? Right? Oh.

I am planning my 3rd trip to England in the past 4 years, and this is the first one where I need to pre-apply for a tourist visa. It feels weird.

I really need to ask, how are we saying BYD. Is it B.Y.D? Is it said "bid"? Is it said "Bide"? I know ai am wrong whichever way I say it.

I really enjoy salty regulatory writing.

So Lizzo is up on video supporting Ghislaine Maxwell, and defending people named in the Epstein files? I am a very weird combination of shocked and yet totally not surprised.

This isn't just Trump's bullshit America. This is Mike Johnson's bullshit America. This is John Thune's bullshit America. Mike Johnson and John Thune need to be held responsible for all of this.

What was most interesting about the DFL caucus was just how unhappy people there are that Amy Klobuchar is running unopposed for governor. She is not liked. She is not kind. She is not compassionate. She is not liberal. She is not seen as honest. She is not trusted.

ICE is made of snowflakes.

While Abolish ICE is we need to be clear what that looks like. ICE is abolished. ICE contract especially for detetion centers are audited so all fraud is prosecuted and breach of contract for serviced promised but not delivered has civil clawbacks. There needs to be arrests and trials for agents.

The tiniest of accidents for that old frail dementia rattled narcissist would do his inner circle as well, and the whole world so much good. A trip hazard. A wet floor. A cheaply built temporary stage. A mis-hung light. A catwalk tour of a ballroom construction site. Something.

Did individual people actually go and see Melania in the selection markets with ticket sales, or did a couple of rich people buy out a handful of theaters to pay for influence?

Amy Klobuchar sit on the Border Security and Immigration subcommittee. What is she doing to help the state and the country on that committee right now, and why the hell does the state party think she deserves an uncontested governor nomination?

Remember, the people that ICE killed in Minneapolis were witnesses and not really protesters. The assaults are on witnesses. Just watching them with your eyes and phone camera is called "assult" because you have hurt their pride.

I want to people this evening.

Start of a new bench press cycle and I am starting off with a new PR for all my percentage to be based off of.

Trump publicly burried Ivana on his golf course for what was presumed to be tax reasons. Did he actually do it to keep people from finding the missing children's bodies?

Thinking the red wonky stitching really is a good idea. It will take a while, but not being exact makes it feel more punk. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Still mad about this morning's campaign fundraising email from Amy Klobuchar calling her campaign "grassroots". It is a cliché and in the case of your governor race it is far from the truth. You don't run on small donors. You are escaping a primary by a backdoor party anointing. Just be honest.

@jensprite.bsky.social So good to see you again on the socials.

We need to make ICE get specific when they say "criminal record". When a sane person hears that we may think felony conviction. When ICE says it they might mean entering the county for an amnesty hearing, or a traffic or parking ticket, or since this is ICE, looking at them funny is criminal.

The electoral college will keep the US in a 2 party system for a very long time. Within the parties there are factions called caucuses. These caucuses need to be used as the tools they are to make and support mini-parties within the giant umbrellas of D/R. Republicans have done this for 20 years.

Get up to date on your vaccines. One case of measles can infect 12-18 people under normal conditions but in crowded concentration camps that person could infect hundreds. America has a history of plague blankets. Vaccines are more important than ever.

It is so weird to hear executive talk about things like customer service. Hearing them talk about AI enabled automated systems that will provide data so your sales team can do something else, like they have never in their life navigated a phone tree or needed to type customer support to a chatbot.

Homan is much clearer that ICE and Trump is at war with the American population than ever before. Indiana nearly allowed the use of gas chambers and firing squads in their prisons (failed by 3 votes but may be reintroduced this session.)

Billy Brag's song about Minnesota is so much better than Bruce Springsteen's new song.

Today I opened up a map of the Twin Cities and shared it with my out of state coworkers pointing the all the locations of where shit has gone down that they knew about. They were shook by both how close and how widespread the terror here really is.
