Every day, I have more and more questions.
Why am I in this room?
What part of my leg made that noise standing up?
If I donβt go to the toilet now, when will I next be close to one
Iβm prepared to use?
Where did I put the to do list I wrote yesterday?
How did I get a bruise there and not notice?
Why am I, once again, not wearing the right glasses for the distance I need to see?
Does the colour of my underwear support the level of confidence I have that this is just a fart?
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
I'm still not ready to talk about Black history. I want to talk about white US history.
Q: "Why don't Black people build any generational wealth? Newer immigrant groups seem to be doing just fine? Must be a lazy and shiftless people!"
A: Because for most of US history, white folk have *intentionally* destroyed the wealthiest Black neighborhoods in the US and stolen all the wealth.

Look, I'm not asking you to support my Patreon because my facts hopefully bring a little joy to your day.
I'm not asking because it's cool to support small creative projects.
I'm not even asking because I can barely afford to pay rent.
I'm simply asking because Ruby demands that I buy more treats. I'm afraid to tell her no. She may be small and cute, but she has a very threatening aura.

So that was a thing, yesterday.
80% of the Wagner Group's "troops are killed, missing, deserted or surrendered." Those who have been captured are suffering from diseases ranging from AIDS and syphilis to tuberculosis and pneumonia that -- due to danger to Ukrainian medical staff -- often must go untreated.
It doesn't sound like the Wagner Group's raping and pillaging paid off in the end. Karma is a Ukrainian.

@TheOldGuy
"80% of the Wagner Group's troops are killed, missing, deserted or surrendered."
80% is a good start, but we should be able to get that to 90% or better.
Hunter Biden's legal team is on the offensive, demanding state & federal investigations into the dissemination of material from his laptop, & threatening a defamation lawsuit against Fox's Tucker Carlson for allegedly failing to correct false statements.

@PeggyJoan I think I'm going to go with an outfit consisting of:
A skirt precisely one inch above the knee, in the loudest pattern I can find. A high-necked T-shirt with no writing, possibly with holes in - this does not seem to be specified. Men's shoes, with socks. Neon ones preferably. Plus leggings worn as a hat.

I know that could be anywhere, but it looks like the neighborhood down around Liberty Park, in SLC.
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.
