SoCal is getting rain again. And then again. And then again. Freeways are closing due to mudslides, evacuations are being ordered in flood prone areas, dam spillways are being opened to make room for the new water coming, and we're officially out of drought.

More than that; if your bank managers aren't able to walk and chew gum at the same time, maybe it's time to consider a new bank. They clearly don't have the horsepower to meet the requirements of their positions.

Or perhaps, just perhaps, the nationโ€™s supposedly leading business newspaper would have better seen these failures coming if they had focused more on market, economic, and business conditions and less on obsessively rooting out the woke menace of women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and veterans(!) gaining token admission to the corridors of power and wealth.

I have a task in my notebook saying "Text Andrea" which I wrote as soon as I woke up and arranged my tasks. I have no idea who this is. I looked over my emails and messages everywhere, customers, supporters, no sign of an Andrea I would need to text today. So I asked my partner and he said "I met an Andrea in my dream", so we realised, it's one of those times that our dreams overlap, it happens a lot, and my mind when I just woke up definitely knew about Andrea. But who the fuck is Andrea now?

Good morning, beautiful people! Rise and shine! #sunrise from my office window โ˜€๏ธ

Oxford commas seem great until you confuse a list for a clause because youโ€™re a complete idiot.

A dangerous new proposal at the #Texas Legislature would potentially empower militia groups to act with impunityโ€”and full legal immunityโ€”at the #border, reports @justinmiller.

Opponents call it a dangerous vigilante move that will get innocent people killed. texasobserver.org/border-milit

This is DeSantis spokesbot Christina Pushaw. From her Wiki page:

"From June 2017 to July 2019, Pushaw worked in Washington, D.C. for the Stand Together organization. She worked for former Georgia president Mikheil Saakashvili from 2018 to 2020, living in the capital, Tbilisi. In June 2022, Pushaw retroactively registered as a foreign agent per the Foreign Agents Registration Act, after the United States Department of Justice contacted her."

Well there you have it. Desantis is Putin's agent. As is Trump and every member of the Republican Party.

If you want to save the world from dictatorship, stop wasting your Blue vote in a Red State and move to a Swing State before the voter registration deadline for 2024.

It's strange how anachronisms can creep into your speech when you get old enough. "Waiting by the phone", you know how many people have done that in the last decade? None people, that's right.

The guy who paid $44B so he could shitpost without filters would like you to know that's not the most effective method of communication.

โ€œBetter to talk to people than communicate by tweet.โ€

The former tech giant known as Twitter has a new company motto.

Hello. I am a Briton who spent half his life in the US and is now living in Amsterdam. Quite soon I will be Dutch.

After the repeated mendacity and hostility from UK gov't officials, a gov't that got re-elected twice after Brexit, no one trusts the UK not to be evil and dishonest at everyone's expense, even against their own self-interest.

A collapsing economy and society would not be an asset to the EU, unfortunately.
