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.

Good news today: A coalition of 25 state governors announced a major push to reach 20M deployed heat pumps by 2030 -would represent a quadrupling of the number of heat pumps installed in 2020. Heat pumps are energy efficient replacements for furnaces & ACs -use electricity to transfer heat, as opposed to generate heat & can either heat a building when it is cold outside or cool a building when it is hot outside.

Any day is a good day for Rapture. It's a classic.

Apparently a large number of people believe today is the #rapture???
I like dirty vodka martinis.
What does disgust for disabled people look like in its purest, most densely crystallized form, like a black diamond of hatred spat out by one of the most twisted, hollowed-out, f*cked-up criminals in US history? Imagine supporting this man and calling yourself a "patriot," a "Christian," or even a "human being"? https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/general-mark-milley-trump-coup/675375/
I love the weird, overly annunciated voice people use when responding to automated customer service voice prompts. I just walked by a colleague's office (who is clearly trying to get into his bank account via phone) and heard him practically bellow:
"LOG IN"
(Ten seconds of silence)
"CHECK-KING ACCOUNT"
(Another ten seconds of silence)
"YES"
(silence)
"CUSS-TUH-MER SER-VICE"
First thought: Those are cool! I want a pair!
Second thought: I couldn't wear socks with those.
Third thought: No socks? [shudder]
Learn to play classical piano. I've always wanted to, but never done it because I don't think I could find a teacher/student setup that would be successful.
I like some types of Brooks running shoes, and Hoka, their Clifton series. I used to be a toe walker, but wore boots to train myself out of it. Some of the Brooks and Hoka shoes have thick padding under the complete sole, so they work for either.
I have a personality for Subject Matter Expert/Trainer. He's also very talkative, very confident, almost brash. I can feel the energy draining out, the whole time he's here.

It now looks like, per another brilliant report by ProPublica, that our dear Justice Clarence Thomas also participated in Koch Network donor events. Is there no end to his corruption and influence peddling? Donβt answer that, I know the answer.
MAGA IS TO BLAME FOR
A SHUTDOWN.
PERIOD.
βK-911. Whatβs your emergency?β
βTHEREβS A SQUIRREL!β
βPlease calm down, sir. Where is it?β
βIN THE TREE ACROSS THE STREET!β
βHave you tried barking at it?β
βYES! DUH!! IβM NOT AN IDIOT!!!β
βOkay, put down the phone and try again now, Iβll stay on the line.β
You know what you're not likely to see today?
A bunch of Democrats making excuses for Bob Menendez and saying the DOJ was weaponized against him. And Biden coming out and saying it's totally unfair the way he's being treated and castigating the FBI and IRS.
Why? Because the Democrats aren't a cult.
My biggest tip for people who have published stuff online is to take a snapshot of it with the Wayback Machine.
You can do that by pasting this in front of the URL:
https://web.archive.org/save/
(takes a minute)
By doing this, you'll be able to access the snapshot even if (when) the site shuts down.
