Now that all the " don't speak ill of the dead" stuff has passed, I'll just note it's awesome when you get your dreams to come true.

I'm not a statistics or computer coder type, but this is the most fascinating analysis of Charlie Kirk's stochastic terrorism against LGBTQ. I'll say, if we had a better legal framework to prevent that behavior, he'd still be alive. open.substack.com/pub/eveywint...

I expected push back over canceling Hulu. Apparently bargaining for Sling is the way.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

The Charlie Kirk fan club canceled their big rally down in FluCo scheduled for tonight. I wonder if all the heavily armed leftists calling for war spooked them. /s

The founding fathers had a lot of ideas that need updating for these times. The thing they didn't get wrong was separation of church and state. Religion in politics is core to the dysfunction of our time. Good governance keeps us going. Bad religion doesn't.

Yay Virginia. Wegmans had vaccines this afternoon. I was turned away earlier in the week.

I was kicked out of a local discussion group for refuting the slain saint chatter. Not sorry. At least I know the bigots by name.

Accelerationism as programmed.

Local folks, Wed 9/17 5:30pm visit UVA Special Collections for the catered opening of a new exhibit of microexhibits. 48 of our library staff curated quick+deep dives into an "A-Z" of topics they care about in our collections, from Artist Books to Zines, Sea Monsters to Pandemic Books.

I was thinking,today, of Atticus Finch taking down the rabid dog with one shot. One of those old rifles. Quite a story. Rabid dogs got dealt with. Funny how people talk about the Epstein files with all that going on.

This seems out of the ordinary until you learn that they are traveling there in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

Very noticeable. No long term forecast.

Kirk was a despicable human being. He died exactly how he wanted. No empathy and by the gun he loved His greatest hits below

Live your life in such a way that when you die, people aren’t able to cite thousands of comments you’ve made advocating the deaths of others.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Arlington cemetery? AMIRITE

Paul Pelosi. They celebrated and mocked him.

I took a lot of bible courses decades ago — really — and I don’t remember there being a grand prize for making the most pious social media post being on the list of “get you into heaven” items.

This and comments are where I am. Shut it down.

I just wanna see the live cam when the bats start flying outta there...

Excerpt: …Pritzker has kicked open a door to an alternate future: One in which the restorative work of post-Trump patriots involves accountability for criminals and reparations for the people they’ve harmed. The taking of names and the doling out of punishments: This is now part of the larger

After seeing THOSE photos, all imma say is dudes better step up the game because elsewise the silly girls will not be impressed.

Wow - who knew jigsaw puzzles were only a bunch of white people nonsense. Looking for a gift and I'm appalled.

Scorched!

This thread and comments with links - AAA Saturday night thoughts....

Which side is Virginia going to land on?

Target had its third straight quarter of slumping sales. Their stock is in the tank. Their CEO has resigned. It all started when they scrapped their DEI initiatives to appease Trump. They thought hate would make them profitable. They were wrong.

I can assure those jerks, I will never eat in DC with them in charge.

...and here we are. I'm not sure if it's 1934 or 1984.

Another Ivy trip today. The solar farm is so massive it's hard to comprehend without seeing it. Great use of the property.

Orangie lovers unit.

Are the popo running drones from Milton airport? They have a training center there already.

So the dimwits have made SSA inaccessible.

Why are we stupid people all the time?

My lived experience is it doesn't matter which party is in power. Politicians have zero interest in fixing things. They get in government to get rich.

Interesting

The Ivy solar farm is massive. We need more smart locations instead of covering farms.

There's bound to be some weird link I don't understand with the billionaire baby boom thing... nypost.com/2023/08/22/j...

So this was the way to get a turnover at president?

Elmo was hacked.

I went to new Bucees Rockingham today. That place is a live SNL skit of "This is Merica". It's not pretty. People are unhealthy and intellectually stunted. No wonder MIT doesn't want them.

I’m so tired of mediocre white people, especially mediocre white men, unable to come to terms with their ordinariness. Yes, there are lots of others who are passing them by. So sad.

apparently getting more donations for the DNC is more important than actually doing anything. kiss off impotent rats.

Fu summer. The wood shed is nearly full despite your taunting.

You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

these cowboys look stupid.

Fried corn #2. Green chilis, yellow mini bells, onion, garlic, butter, paprika, cumin, black pepper. See y'all later.
