I don’t think the internet is making us any better. Might be time to log off.
there’s a nonzero chance we’re already in The Bad Place
Honestly, I’ve been doing my best to ignore inflammatory guys like Kirk. His death is a tragedy. I’m looking for a sober account of his views. Any specific recommendations?
I thought this was well-put by George Packer at The Atlantic: “The Tragedy of Charlie Kirk’s Killing” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc…
“O come, Desire of Nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind.
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
and be Thyself our King of Peace.”
“Then Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.'”
Still into sea shanties. No regrets.
Make shamelessly and constantly lying to the public socially and politically unacceptable again.
I really hate all three branches of government right now. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🗑️

Didn’t faint when I got my blood drawn this morning! Got a bit sweaty, but that’s par for the course. Crossing my legs and tensing my legs/torso for 5 seconds on/off once I sit down in the chair seems to help. Keeps my blood pressure high enough that I don’t pass out.
Getting blood drawn for labs this morning. I faint in a cold sweat like 50% of the time, so I really don’t enjoy this! Going to try crossing my legs and tensing my legs and torso for 5 secs at a time. Worked pretty well last time!
Forget PSL season, it’s Oktoberfest season!
Probably late to the game on this, but, has anyone written a parody of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” about Trump?
Pardon the language, but too good not to share and ponder: “If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.” (Raylan Givens, fictional character in “Justified”)
Looking for the best pocket tape measure. Ideally something that can do imperial and metric. Maximize versatility and minimize size. Any recommendations?
I don’t think ICE is going to do very well in Hell. 🧊🔥
