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.

Mendacious misanthrope Trump reposted this on his laughably titled Truth Social site.
Has nobody told Melania that her husband is a five-time draft dodger who mocks POWS, calls our war dead βsuckersβ and βlosers,β insults Gold Star families, and attempted to overthrow U.S. democracy.

After 12 days, for a repair that was supposed to be 1 day, I called the dealership and told them I wanted my car back. What's wrong with it is cosmetic, has no impact on the car, and can actually be done in 1 day once they have the part. We've all been waiting, and I've been driving a loaner car that's not mine, and that I wouldn't have bought in the first place. It's been disrupting me, and I've grown to hate that loaner car more each day. Today was my breaking point.
Interpretive dance is an under-utilized medium in courtroom settings.
If they read this back to me in court one day I would lean into the microphone to repeat it.
Nearly 20 years ago, I made a Craigslist post looking for a roommate.
This guy named Justin responded saying he wasn't looking for a roommate, but he liked my ad and the interests and music I'd listed and thought we might make good friends.
I ended up exchanging a series of emails with him and he was really cool and interesting.
At some point, I asked for his last name and he said it was Franchi, so, being the absolute creep that I am, I googled his name and came up with a series of articles and bulletins about how Justin Franchi was wanted by the FBI for terrorism.
I was like WTF? but I was so curious about this guy so I continued talking. I brought it up to my friends and one was like "Yo, stop talking to that guy!" and the other was like "Keep talking! There's a REWARD!"
I was like "Y'all, Iβm no narc. Besides, he's an 'ECO terrorist' so maybe he's not the bad guy?"
My friends were now even more invested than I was so we poured over his well-written yet strangely cryptic emails trying to figure out details on his whereabouts, reading into EVERYTHING as if it had a secret meaning.
We even talked about meeting up and he said he would be "Coming from the west" and we were like "WTF, we're in Michigan, he could be ANYWHERE!"
He eventually gave me enough information to figure out that this Justin Franchi was just a normal guy from a suburb of Detroit and just happened to share a name with an eco terrorist on the FBI's most wanted list.
Even though I was no longer going to get a reward, I ended up meeting him and he was super cool and I remember hanging out and driving around in my Jetta listening to Swedish indie pop and we remained friends for several years until I moved to Chicago and changed my phone number and lost contact.
Just wanted to say hi, if you're out there, Justin Franchi (the indie pop one, not the terrorist one).

The Republicans have long been trying to normalize sadism. They brag about it as if it were a virtue. Kristi Noem is just the most recent example.
She ought to YouTube it, and release it.
Roger Stone looks like Zippy the Pinhead, has no frontal cortex, but does have a HUGE tattoo of Nixon on his back. He's alleged to have a chin, but there's no data to support that assertion.

@johnnyprofane1 @eric @actuallyautistic @actuallyaudhd @actuallyadhd Is it sad that I don't remember which terrible person Roger Stone is at this point? I think it's a bad thing.
Any female-presenting person of a certain age who's taught long enough has had students absentmindedly call them "Mom."
Today, amid a rather frenetic last-day-before- the-draft's-due class period, one of my #PhlEd seniors looked right at me and, all unconsciously, said "Alexa, how do I cite..." before he heard his own words and froze in horror.
They always beeline to some random diner in a small town and are just panting to find out what they think.
Most of us live in cities.
Via Eric Kleefeld:
Saying this again: Black voters have determined the last three Democratic presidential nominees, but you donβt see media outlets working hard to interview them in diners, and find out what this important demographic actually thinks.

Realizing I'm autistic explained something about me to myself. I'm a huge Trekkie, but my favorite characters were Seven of Nine and The Doctor.
Two people trying to figure out how to human, and not quite getting it. Just like me.
After 20 years at my current job - and 20 years of evaluations that say I'm wonderful, but need to work on my communication and social skills - they've come around. I told them flat out, if you interrupt me I'll be brusque, even rude. Schedule a meeting, let me know what it's about so I can prepare, and I'll talk your ears off. Don't spring things on me.
It worked.
I used to describe myself as a hard-core introvert, but I realized in my case what's exhausting is the constant masking I'm doing, not the socializing. I love being around the (tiny, tiny number) of people I don't mask with, and it's not draining.

Today's sharp jump looks like a "buy a block of stock today to push up the price"
The ongoing fall is ongoing.
When women forgo paid labor as a Tradwife or Stay-at-home Girlfriend (SAHG), they take a huge economic risk. Financial dependence=loss of power & control. And in reality few couples can afford it. 78% of US millennials are dual-career couples. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/24/the-rise-of-the-tradwife-and-sahg-why-some-women-opt-out-of-work.html
@Porpentina2017 If Obama had stolen classified documents, stuck them in the bathroom, and refused to give them back, Republicans would be demanding the death penalty. No exaggeration: they would literally call it treason and unquestionably demand his execution.
