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.

@ScottSoCal I know someone connected an RSS feed aggregator to a morse receiver a few years back... it'd just start tapping things out whenever something new showed up. Not sure it's been done the other way though.

Both, equally and in combination.
the 4 types of national anthems:
- Gosh, This Sure is an Attractive Piece of Land We've Got Here
- That One War in Particular was a Doozy
- We Only Sing Parts of This Song Now Because the Other Verses are Racist
- We Speak French and We Will Fucking Kill You
βWhat the US has to do is to know your enemy. You have to look at Josh Hawley, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson. Russian media was showing clips of Carlson and understand that if Russia is on your side, you're on the wrong goddamn side, Russia means absolutely no good to the United States of America. Russia is your enemy.β-Paul Niland on @radicalizedpod

Good for you. Strength and courage.

Fox "News" is literally on the record, in court, saying they're not a news channel, they're an entertainment channel, and that no reasonable person could believe what their primary talking head (Tucker Carlson) says.

As Miss Universe approaches, Ukraineβwhich has had more important concerns this yearβsent 2021's runner-up to represent Ukraine in the pageant.
And her fierce outfit is the perfect representation of the nation's strength and resilience in the face of Russia's invasion.
Brava! π

Most of the people reporting on Republican politicians these days (and Republicans are the ones saying "illegal immigrants" and "not the right way") have become stenographers. They just reliably record what's said, and type it out. No analysis, no fact checking, no context, just listen and repeat.

Memo to the media:
Stop letting politicians get away with calling asylum seekers "illegal immigrants" or saying they're not coming to this country "the right way." Seeking asylum is legal. Presenting themselves at the border & requesting asylum is "the right way" to seek asylum.

Immortal words of Bush the Lesser.
Politics
@msignorile In the Republican party now, character and morals don't matter at all. Only party loyalty and strict adherence to the mandatory hyper-conservative/near-fascist political dogma do.

Federal prosecutors looking into George Santos' seemingly sudden wealth, sources tell ABC News https://abc7ny.com/george-santos-income-wealth-federal-prosecutors/12623759/

Because I have faith (belief, without evidence) that Putin orchestrated TFG's tariff and export spat with China, he should have learned from TFG's destruction of the soy bean exports. China just got them from someone else, and our export market for soybeans evaporated.
European countries have started getting the LNG from someone else, and they're accelerating plans to move away from fossil fuels. The barrel he thought he had them over is going to crush the Russian economy.
Putin's failure to understand Ukraine's ability to defend itself militarily is matched by his failure to understand the West's ability to defend itself economically.

Gotta admire American ability to quickly ramp LNG exports to specific nations when needed.
Putin really thought the rest of the world was as incompetent and technologically backwards as Russia.

Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
Itβs CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.
