Just stopping by to tell everybody that I’m super Duper straight and that women are gross and that I just bought a Ford F150 super duty and I can burp the alphabet
The last time I saw such a truck, it was covered with the US flag. It also had a few mini ones on it. It's almost as if they want everyone to know that they are allegedly patriotic because they can hang flags on their truck (Hint: Most don't need all of that to show patriotism..)

Scalise: "For God's sake -- you can't get pasta at Olive Garden without a picture ID! Why not be able to show a picture ID to vote?"
Completely agree. The entire process has become corporatized and homogenized.

To the people complaining about the choice of subject matter for my posts: I have not been receiving your checks. Please verify that you are sending your monthly payments to the correct address. Thanks.
Makes sense to me, especially for sensitive documents. They're kept safe under normal circumstances, but if you need to evacuate or flee rapidly, you can quickly destroy them with the microwaves so that they can't be found. 😅
My personal life has been a world of turmoil lately, some of it a direct result of my well-intentioned, but poorly thought out decisions, much of it a by-product of the same. The "punishment" from a "loved one" has lingered long beyond its shelf-life and is no longer a response to hurt, but has become a pursuit of vengeance and retribution.
In the midst of this tempest, my 26 year-old daughter (the youngest of my 4 kids) the single mother of my 4 year-old grandson, has rearranged her half of a rented, modest duplex to accommodate me. She purchased a sleeper-sofa to make sure that I have a comfortable place to sleep. She stays up late dispensing wisdom that only someone three times her age should possess. She insists that in her house, there is no judgment, only love and peace...and she shows it.
When I tell her I don't deserve her, she assures me that, yes, I really do and follows it up by saying "Dad, you raised the children you would one day need, whether you realized it or not."
This woman, my "little girl", is changing my life, rearranging my thinking, and is bringing me out of a dark place into a place of promise and relief. I pray you all have someone in your life like her. We are blessed if we do.
The world is sliding into the abyss, but for people like her. She wags her finger at the tumult and declares "Not on my watch."
I love you more than I can put into words, AGB. You have saved my life. Thank you.
Wondering what OS to use on my laptop since Windows is going the direction of enforced AI hell. Just discovered Copilot force-installed on my Win 10 machine. Not happy. Uninstalled but don’t trust it.
Do I go with Linux? I have a bit of experience with it already.
I still need to be able to use MS Office docs and OneNote for my university lecture notes. 🤔 Plus MS Teams for my uni. None of these are optional.
Also: Zoom, Zotero, Steam, Claro accessibility software… and maybe more.
I've been busy today despite my best efforts not to be. Just stopping by to say hello and remind you to be kind to yourself today. You have to take care of yourself, after all you're the only one of you that we have.
A populist leader coming to power on the heels of crushing inflation. One who blames the country’s problems on a minority ethnic group he rounds up in detention centers while promising to invade neighboring countries and attempting to compromise the major forms of mass media. All sounds familiar.
