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.

No one who drinks coffee black can be trusted. And mixing coffee with bourbon is just unnatural. Friedman was obviously one of the lizard people.
Three reminders:
"Handmaid's Tale" has already been here the whole time, it was pointed at racialized women.
Racism is fascism that hasn't yet come for the white people.
The future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed.
My latest newsletter is all about the the debate that tore the trans community apart back in 2001, and why I think we've moved past it. Gather round, kids! It's story time...

They knew, and they were trying to raise money to cover it, and I've seen reports that they actually had it lined up - preventing this failure - but Peter Thiel, buddy of Elmo, buddy of TFG, buddy of Putin, had his VC company put out a statement that everyone must withdraw all their accounts immediately. And the bank crashed.
SVB was stupid, and irresponsible, but Thiel was evil.
How can a bank go that long not realizing they don't have enough cash on hand to cover their ass?
That was just my little pouring out of my heart, because a friend of mine was threatened by an anti-trans βprotestorβtoday. They were out terrorizing the Childrenβs Hospital in St. Louis because they offer gender affirming healthcare. The βprotestorβ aimed their car at my friend, threatening to run him over, swerving at the last moment.
And my brave friend DANCED.
He found a reservoir of unstolen joy in his heart and used it to make his trans Jewish self more visible as a counter to the hate.
It takes almost nothing - a few thousand sales - to make a "top iTunes hit." Just some context.
Broke the music industry, a few eardrums, and a lot of hope that this sh*t is dying anytime soon.

We "made America great again", with child labor. Education and leisure are for the rich.

I have it from unreliable sources that the real reason SVB failed is because they're woke.
It's the *principle* of the thing! And besides, he's a coyote, he's never heard of Sunk Cost Fallacy.

We regret to inform you that, due to a scheduling conflict, Spring will be unable to attend this year. Winter has agreed to stay until relieved by Summer.
#JuniorDoctors #strike starts today, and so as before; when your appointment has been cancelled, when your #healthcare has been disrupted, please do not get annoyed at the striking #HealthService staff.
They have gone on strike as a last resort, after years of #tory attrition towards the #NHS and a radical decade long program of defunding of our health service.
Direct your anger & blame towards the #Tories & #JeremyHunt who have been instrumental in causing the #nhscrisis
Technically, just doing less bad is doing better.
Wouldn't I have to do good before I do better?
So, my partner was sunning hisself on the varanda when he asked me to get him another beer AND open it,. When I asked him if he'd like me to press it to his lips, too, he said, "No but a sippy straw would be nice."

She's already the gold standard for Republicans.
We have a little baby avocado tree in the backyard that got old enough to produce a couple of years ago, and it works for us.
@geekyonion @ScottSoCal @peterb If I can be a plant nerd for a moment, I've always found the avocado toast thing to be hilariously strange. Avocados literally grow on trees in California, and anyone who wants to grow them in their backyard can plant one and in a few years have more than they can possibly eat. (We were getting over 2000 avocados a year from a tree at a place we rented a couple of years ago.)
