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.

"In Georgia -- and other states controlled by Republicans -- protest is being turned into a criminal act."
It already was - it has been since Bush the Lesser. Rounding up protesters and forcing them into a corral 2 blocks away, and saying protesting anywhere but there will get you locked up is criminalizing protest.
In Georgia -- and other states controlled by Republicans -- protest is being turned into a criminal act. This is only the latest attack on democratic values and norms from a party that sees abuse of citizens, with impunity, as a key way of staying in power. https://theintercept.com/2023/01/27/cop-city-atlanta-forest/
Here is a dad joke for everyone:

If hell was a real thing, his would be bagpipes every time he closes his eyes, so he can never sleep again, for eternity.

"Today we will a start a marathon for fair play aimed at clearing the management of international Olympic structures of hypocrisy as well as (preventing) any attempts to drag representatives of the terrorist state into world sport," says #Ukraine President Zelenskyy, announcing a campaign to prevent #Russia from competing in the #ParisOlympics2024.
"It is obvious that any neutral flag of Russian athletes would be stained with blood."

And yet it's exactly what I've seen some people - including some on the left - try to do, because apparently skin color trumps everything, including systemic bias. Ignore the research and studies that say anything else.

Don't worry, folks. We've FINALLY realized police officers should be held accountable for murdering Black people, so it's okay to watch this one."

finally agreeing on who'd get possession of the car, our divorce came to be known in legal circles as 'The Honda Accord'
Extremists need to stop playing political games with the lives of working people and families.
Democrats stand with the people. Dismantling Medicare and Social Security will never be up for debate.
Itβs a shit show.
Everything and anything involving Trump is a shit show.

Floridaβs new student textbook guidelines that prohibit books βthat may lead to student indoctrinationβ actually sound a lot like indoctrination.

I mask at work, and thankfully we're still almost completely teleconference (even though we're all in 2 buildings, right next to each other).
The last 2 times a co-worker exposed me to COVID was also the last 2 times we had an in-person meeting, with many people in a conference room. The most recent was this Tuesday, so I'm waiting for test results. I don't like in-person meetings. I discourage them, but sometimes not enough, clearly.
During the #Holocaust, a team of Jewish researchers in the Warsaw Ghetto documented the grim effects of starvation on the human body even as they themselves starved.
"They hoped their research would benefit future generations through better ways to treat malnutrition, and they wanted the world to know of Nazi atrocities to prevent something similar from ever happening again."
Hear more from the researcher who found the book in the library, in our #podcast: https://podfollow.com/the-conversation-weekly/episode/107c5a4291d53c4969264fb901f0215ff947c7b8/view #history
Please
stop what you are doing
and in a calm clear voice say:
βcomputer, end program,β
for there is a chance
that you are actually
a crew member on a starship
in the 24th century
stuck in a holodeck simulation
of this historic pandemic
the chance is small
but itβs worth a try
