I really want to join a book club but I lack the ability to stay focused on what other people think I should read versus whatever my goldfish brain has chosen at any given moment.

Oh snap thanks for the love on these 😭 there’s prints here if you want them: gdbee.store/search?q=sco...

Serious question: even if they drop some of the tariffs, will companies lower prices? As we remember from the past 5 years, some used the excuse of supply chain to intentionally inflate prices.

I am 3/3 for smooth and on time flights. Least delayed (i.e. not at all) work trip in recent times, during a freakin government shutdown. What even is my luck 😂

So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser. gofund.me/f5615787f

TSA agent giving out reminders at the precheck security line sounded like he was a NPC shouting out barks in a game like Outer Worlds.

Flight 2 of 3 went equally smoothly.

Completely unrelated: I could not buy myself any advent calender because I would just open everything on the first day instead of one a day 😂

On my way to the airport for flight 2 of 3 on this trip, AMA.

gasp no this can’t be true how could we not see this coming no way republicans voting against the ACA??? No! I can’t believe it!

Coworker and I walked into the airport 10 minutes before boarding started, but everything seems to be running on time (we picked an early flight in hopes of this).

None of these people should ever know peace.

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law! That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Their job is to be politicians, how are they so fucking bad at it?!

Senate Democrats (@democrats.senate.gov) are expertly skilled at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It's genuinely impressive how inept they really are. The shutdown is wildly unpopular, and everyone blames the GOP. Yet here we are, with Dems eager to cast a vote to kill your healthcare.

I just made my calls to Schumer and Gillibrand. PLEASE call your senators and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding. #DidThisToday Find your senators here: reps.fyi

I was having a decent day and then I saw this BS

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Here's a partial list of suspected guilty parties. Call them if they're your senators, friends, right now. blacksky.community/profile/did:...

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

Generally pissed with how often I'm needing to call my Senators but hopeful that they will hold the line.

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

Shout out to all the people taking part in Extralife game day today! Know there's so many needs right now, but supporting your local children's hospital is always a good cause.

Last day!

I just accept the background sound of snoring.

I'm traveling next week and waiting to see what/how much of my trip is impacted by flight cancellations.

Fellow fountain pen users, do you have a preferred storage brand? I'm thinking cases, etc. Know Rickshaw and Galen are popular.

Please hold, questionable financial choices pending.

Not me repeatedly reading Art as Rat today.

I had someone try to tell me that it's for the good of my career to at least try out AI/ChatGPT because what will I do in the future when I'm interviewing and get asked what kind of prompts I use? 😑

I should mention this again: Worldbuilders Market worldbuildersmarket.com/search?q=mar... has Murderbot and Sanctuary Moon merchandise where the proceeds go to charity. At this point as far as I know there is no other licensed official merchandise.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.
