Sometimes re-wiring a house or building isn’t as practical as setting up a mesh network that’s good-enough.

The worst one I do is my sister’s NB spouse. I knew them for decades before they realized they were NB and let us know, and I screw it up with them all the time. It’s not because I don’t support them. It’s because I don’t see anything different about them. They’re still family and they make my sister and their son happy.

We still nerd out over the same stuff and and our relationship hasn’t really changed at all. So I slip and refer to them as “him.” I think sometimes that my love for them and who they’ve always been has in a way blinded me to the outward change.

Yeah. I get it.

But when I did the book, I went in completely blind. There’s zero indication it’s going to involve extraterrestrial intelligence until suddenly it does. I loved the surprise and feel sad that so many moviegoers are gonna be robbed of that experience.

It’s a bad band for cellular. It’s short-range and shit at penetration.

It’s really not even that good for wifi unless you’re close or have a mesh network with APs all over the building.

Yeah. I’m not going to any celebrations of the country this weekend. I don’t have it in me to be patriotic right now. It’s wild how far we’ve fallen in the past decade. And flabbergasting how much further we fell over the last 6 months.

I never thought I’d literally be stocking up on ammunition over political shifts in the US. That’s what the crazies on the right do.

I fuck up people’s pronouns all the time and feel really bad about it. I promise it’s not targeted. The thing is: I’m someone who fucks up when I speak all the time.

It’s not hatred. I’m just kinda dumb.

The trailer for Project Hail Mary had me really hopeful that it was going to be a perfect trailer, then at the very end they revealed a huge plot point that would have been better left as a surprise.

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.

Doctor says, “Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.”

Man bursts into tears. Says, “But doctor…I am Pagliacci.”

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum.

Curtains.

The timeline in the article doesn’t line up with that picture.

Sounds like there was a nasty divorce in 2015 between the parents, including a restraining order.

I just hate how they keep referring to “Who, me?”

The name of that column makes reading the article infuriating.

Are the instructions in a basement lavatory marked “beware of the leopard”?

So, what happens to those people’s status regarding their statehood? We can’t force their prior country to re-instate their citizenship.

The makeup of the DNC is ultimately decided at the primaries. The people that participate in those primaries are those that determine the party’s path. If primary voters had selected Bernie in 2016 or 2020, he’d have been the nominee, and he’d have been President (in 2020 - 2 democrats haven’t been elected into office back-to-back since before the Civil War).

If he’d have been the nominee and become President, the “party establishment” would have moved left. But the majority of voters in the primaries and caucuses rejected him.

If you want a progressive, you need to support them up front. But you also absolutely must follow-up with the message that doing anything other than voting for the Dems in the general is a vote for the GOP, even if your favorite primary candidate isn’t nominated.

I don’t see what the big deal is.

I regularly launch artillery strikes on the local food bank to make sure everything is orderly and safe.

No. It’s saying that not enough people are participating in the primaries. I’m saying that if people want change, they should stop bitching after the fact and fucking vote in the primaries, then vote Democrat no matter who the winner is in the primary.

Instead, they throw hissy fits that feed the “both sides” bullshit that keeps people from supporting the non-fascists in the general elections.

Yeah. That makes a lot of sense given how caucuses work.

While Bernie had an early lead, as other candidates were eliminated their supporters went to people other than Bernie.

The rich can do it without civil or criminal consequence?

Wealth includes assets. If you can borrow against it, it can be taxed.

In fact, taxing the assets makes borrowing against them even more expensive.
