So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

Who could have guessed that a feral group of sociopaths with the motto "move fast and break things" would break things?
Not shitposting you, just old enough to have seen too many of those "can't fail" career paths burn out. I started my career in software, and was lucky enough to stumble into an easy transition, a couple decades back - the first time computers went China Syndrome.
When I graduated uni in 2008, I figured compsci was more-or-less future proof as a career: cutting edge tech, still in the first century of discovery, it seemed like a golden age in spite of the now obvious signs of decay.
Now, I'm unemployed again with 20 years of experience in this ridiculous field. I remember feeling very confident in my c# and JS back then, ready to replace those COBOL-dinosaurs who weren't keeping up.
Oh the irony...

Mariupol will be a living nightmare, after they've driven the Russians out.
They matter to Graham, because they're the people who keep voting this feckless nitwit into office. And they care very much.
Unfortunately for Trump and his allies, completely losing your shit is generally not an effective legal defense to felony criminal charges
everyone who posts anything like 'omg i talked with chatgpt and it changed my life, we're on the cusp of a New Era of perfect intelligence!' should be dragged into the sea and chained to a reef to feed the fish

You have to do everything you can to keep the wrong sort of people from voting. Young voters tend to vote liberal, and you can't get more wrong sort than that.
Our state's abortion restrictions have not only prohibited access to elective pregnancy termination, but theyโve also obstructed the path for timely and medically appropriate care for many Texans experiencing pregnancy complications.
This article was my first big deep dive into healthcare access in a post-Roe Texas for the @TexasObserver. I hope you give it a read:

Lindsey's kompromat involves male escorts, allegedly.
The kompromat must be really damning: 3/31/23 Lindsey Graham Tweet:
On the way to the DAโs office on Tuesday, Trump should smash some windows, rob a few shops and punch a cop.
He would be released IMMEDIATELY!
my mom woke up in the middle of the night from these powerful explosions. r*ssians terrorized one of the most beautiful Zaporizhzhia suburbs with several missiles hitting the homes of peaceful Ukrainians
r*ssia is a mad death cult.

I wonder if they'll allow Ivanka to make conjugal visits.
I hurt my knee and itโs super swollen and I canโt bend it so Iโm headed into an orthopedic express type of thing but first I have to do my hair and put makeup on so that Iโm taken seriously and treated with a minimum of respect. This is what itโs like being a woman who needs medical care in America.
Happy #transdayofvisibility. Trans people are beautiful and powerful because we've found our true selves in spite of all the obstacles the world has thrown in our way. I'm proud to be part of this community. ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
But FUD (Fear/Uncertainty/Doubt) gets more clicks and sells more papers.
What's more important - truth or profit?
No no no no. The actual study showed that COVID vaccines REDUCED all cause mortality. But among those vaccinated who did die (which happened at lesser rates than those who didn't get vaccinated), the AstraZeneca shot was more represented than other vaccines. That's all the study showed. Highly unethical journalism.

Overheard: โIโd love to be a fly on the wall at Mar-a-Lago, but I might be drowned in ketchup by now.โ
Slippery slopes are the most fun.
Actual conversation I just had with my husbandโฆ
Me: What do you call those baby cages?
Him: (terrified)
Me: EVERYONE had one.
Him: (more terrified)
Me: Oh! Playpen!
