I’m fighting with my partner. Forgot the rules about cell phones and 3 am drunk texting. Accidentally kinda blew up his phone. While the messages are innocuous, he’s upset about the number of them. Sigh. I am not so good at this relationship thing. It’s been too long since I was in one.

This is a very colonist post. And racist. Anti-Black I bet Jackie was like “no kings!”

Powerball jackpot tonight is 467,000,000. So to get to a trillion, I’d only have to win a jackpot like tonight’s … 2,141 times. To put it another way, I’d have to win the lottery, once a week, every week, for … 41 years Hot streaks like that? Very rare. Have to be quite lucky. Fingers crossed.

This is true, but back to the fact that law enforcement are particularly cruel to disabled people, as they see anything out of the norm as “noncompliance”. 50% of custody deaths are disabled people. The despicable treatment of detainees is unlivable for disabled people. Which is the point.

The electoral college is bad, actually. The will of the people isn't properly reflected.
