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.

When I saw this scene, I announced that it was the gayest Star Trek moment - gayer than Jadzia Dax's kiss.
The banks didn't fail because of wokeism- they failed because of Trumpism. Trump and GOP repealed regulations that would have 100% prevented the bank collapse. Once again Dems cleaning up the GOP's mess
Iโve heard it said that phishers leave in bad grammar or errors to help limit potential victims to people who are impaired or not paying attention. But todayโs email demanding payment from โBit-Defederยฎ Secuirtyโ took that a bit far.

โLiberal, liberal, liberal.โ I remember when Ronald Reagan used the term as a slur during a speech in 1988. That dreaded โLโ word. Many Americans lump โliberalโ together with the words โbleeding heartโ and incorrectly believe it means people who are just plain soft on things like spending and crime.
But true liberal values are actually what hold our democracy together and the loss of them threatens our future as a democratic republic. Todayโs piece looks at the state of Florida under Governor Ron DeSantis and how it is a prime example of the illiberal threat to our system.

Sure, if that's what you're determined to do, by all means. DeSantis will be grateful for your help.

2 names for you: Manchin and Sinema.
Manchin is best we can get from that state. Sinema is an attention whore who only cares about lining her own pockets.

They had a majority of 1 in the Senate. 1 vote.

"Democrats and Republicans [...] All those things that they โcanโtโ do (legalize abortion, student loan forgiveness, protect LGBT kids, protect Black people, close the border camps) are actually things they donโt want to do."
No. Just no.
Dems are being BLOCKED by Republicans from doing those things. This is not "both sides". This is not "they're all the same".
But, as Betty Bowers points out, you can shorten it to "Nat. C's".
The proper term is โChristian Nationalismโ - thanks.

SoCal is getting rain again. And then again. And then again. Freeways are closing due to mudslides, evacuations are being ordered in flood prone areas, dam spillways are being opened to make room for the new water coming, and we're officially out of drought.
More than that; if your bank managers aren't able to walk and chew gum at the same time, maybe it's time to consider a new bank. They clearly don't have the horsepower to meet the requirements of their positions.
Or perhaps, just perhaps, the nationโs supposedly leading business newspaper would have better seen these failures coming if they had focused more on market, economic, and business conditions and less on obsessively rooting out the woke menace of women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and veterans(!) gaining token admission to the corridors of power and wealth.
You could start with these, and work your way down:
I have a task in my notebook saying "Text Andrea" which I wrote as soon as I woke up and arranged my tasks. I have no idea who this is. I looked over my emails and messages everywhere, customers, supporters, no sign of an Andrea I would need to text today. So I asked my partner and he said "I met an Andrea in my dream", so we realised, it's one of those times that our dreams overlap, it happens a lot, and my mind when I just woke up definitely knew about Andrea. But who the fuck is Andrea now?
Good morning, beautiful people! Rise and shine! #sunrise from my office window โ๏ธ
