SNL hit this one out of the park a while ago and posted something that seemed farcical but was truer than any of us would like.

“You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know … morons.”

I’m just finished This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone and am working through We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson

Time War was a book that I had tried to read multiple times in the past and could never get through finishing it even though I enjoyed it I would just peter out in reading. They both fill a couple of Bingo squares for me so I may shift them around in the future but for right now, they fulfill “family drama” and “it takes two” 

I signed up a few years ago for Dracula Daily and it sends you (via email) the appropriately dated entries each* day. I read through it each year now.

“The Only Patriotic Choice for President… Here’s Why That’s Bad for Harris.”

I ran into this a bit over a week ago when I upgraded. I had been running the public beta on my 2020 iPad Pro, and upgraded 2 days after 18 officially launched, but after it was pulled for bricking M4 Pros. It sounds like 18.0.1 is in progress and should be out soon, however I installed the 18.1 public beta on mine after seeing others have success with it from 17.7.

That said, my prior upgrade sat around for at least a week before I threw the beta in and there were no issues.

If you have another iOS device, you should be able to go to settings>Account Settings (the one with your Memoji)>iCloud Backup and see all backups stored in your iCloud.

Can’t catch STIs via FaceTime, minor victory?

Randomized, but with a certain amount of derandomization by senators blocking additional vacancies in the district.

Are we sure the public notoriety over his past isn’t his kink?

You have my deepest apologies for inflicting this upon you.

I apologize up front for sharing this mental image, it was shared with me and I fear that the only way for me to cope is to pass it on like some bizarre chain letter.

My Reaction When…

I’ll leave this here in hopes you’ll watch it. There is no way for what you’re hoping to actually succeed in the current environment. The only way out is through and the only way through is voting as harm reduction.

Ahhh… big oil paint dollars.

You trying to bully and pressure me is either privilege or sociopathy.

I did neither, in fact I don’t even respond to your comment where you might think I was responding directly to you.

Considering any third party is viable in the system as it exists today, make as much sense as playing Chess using the rules from Candy Land. It’s delusional and detached from reality.

It’s an unfortunate mathematical truth and no amount of wishing it otherwise will change that. That’s why for any non-primary election, it must be treated as harm reduction above all.

Was he showing them in class? If not then there’s no reason to fire him as long as he’s otherwise successfully doing his job.

Have we considered that these protests are astroturfing by big professional art-restoration backers?

💯

Voting is always an act of harm reduction. Choosing to vote for a non-viable option or not vote is a statement that neither you nor those you care about (in life or the abstract) are in minimal risk of harm or you don’t care about the harm they may undergo.

That’s either privilege or sociopathy.

By the same metric, neck tourniquets work wonders for headaches.
