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.

I didn't have Vikings reassembling on my 2023 bingo card

Canada's news system has been seized, bought sold off, and is now under the control of a far right American Corporation (most Canadian Newspapers large and small)
There are a handfull of excellent small regional papers, Halifx Examiner for example, and The Tyee. The Tyee has come to Mastodon, and thats great, its a great paper, swining and landing far about its weight, more than regional paper, well worth a follow, maybe even a bell.

But SCOTUS assured us that allowing unlimited money in the campaign process couldn't possibly bring corruption. Because [mumble, mumble]
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on...
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
He's also the guy who quashed all the stories about Trump, and generally did whatever favors TFG asked. He was Trump's Pecker.
@MeidasTouch Wait, the former publisher of the National Enquirer is named David Pecker? How did I not know that? I love when reality is ridiculous like that.
Or he's using the royal "we".
L'Γtat, c'est moi.
Anita Mann and Ivana Humpalot have both registered their concerns.
Missouri's attorney general has been harassing a gender clinic in St. Louis because they work with youths.
Now he has an online form for complaints and concerns regarding "gender intervention" in the state.
Prime trolling opportunity, pass it on.

The outrage over security from TikTok might be taken a bit more seriously if we didn't just watch Facebook admit to enabling Rohingya genocide, help to manipulate the 2016 election, cause massive PTSD to its own employees, and face zero meaningful accountability whatsoever.
I'd say it isn't necessarily being in or out of touch with reality, but as a percentage of your total disposable income. I'm sure there are people who would find it life changing, and people who would find it irrelevant. Just depends on where their economics are, generally.
35 years ago I walked back and forth to work for 3 months because I couldn't afford $84 to renew the registration on my car. An extra $5 a day then would have been most welcome.
In your current life, how big of a deal would an extra $5 per day be for you?
That's about $150 per month or $1825 per year which seems very significant to me, but I'm curious if I'm out of touch with reality or not.
Well, I just found out the Texas Observer is shutting down at the end of the week and I'm, quite abruptly and with no warning, out of work.
Pass your leads on to me.
