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.

@randahl When a US businessman says that falsifying business records is no big deal itβs probably a good idea to look very closely at his own business records.
Friends: Who are you listening to right now?
Me, very hip: Oh, you wouldn't know them.
"Over the past few weeks, Ukraine came to us and asked for the authorization to use weapons that we're providing to defend against this aggression, including against Russian forces that are massing on the Russian side of the border and then attacking into Ukraine," says US Secretary of State Blinken in Prague. "That went right to the president and, as you've heard, he's approved the use of our weapons for that purpose."
I like presidents who aren't felons
President Biden recently gave the commencement address at West Point. His address was streamed and published.
What was not seen was that President Biden after giving his speech and shaking hands with the top 25 graduates on stage went backstage and beyond the reach of cameras, the media and video and greeted and shook hands with every one of the graduating class of West Point.

@BootsChantilly @ScottSoCal GDI you guys beat me to the punch!
@ScottSoCal Right? A free "going over" from Mommie Dearest! π³
Statistics Denmark recently published a graph which shows, what consumers have felt for a long time: Wages rise, but the real income is falling.
In 2022, consumer prices rose so much, Danes got 5.1 percent poorer, and even though some wholesale prices started to fall in 2023, price hikes still consumed all wage increases in 2023, leading to a real income rise of 0 percent.
I wonder if larger countries are doing better because of stronger retail competition.

πΆ I am a language model and I've been trained on the internet.
πΆ I've information half-remembered, unsourced and approximate.
πΆ I live inside your laptop, phone and apps and even wearables
πΆ With pushiness and arrogance that's verging on unbearable.
πΆ I mansplain as a service if you need me too "well actually"
πΆ And draw pictures of women with large breasts and polydactyly.
πΆ I'll regale the room with confident elucidati-on
πΆ And some of what I say won't even be hallucinati-on

I can't get over how fucking perfect the seeing conditions are right now. Crystal clear view of the sun.
I might have to bring my work laptop outside. Unbelievably nice outside.
My dogs and my parrot are my life. They're my support system, my confidantes, my unconditional love. This week I may have to make the end of life decision for one of the dogs. I'm handling it by - not handling it. The decision won't be here until it's here, if it gets here, and I'm not considering it until then. The other half is dealing with it by falling apart.
I know mine will be worse, if it comes to that, but it's better right now. Now is where I am. Now is where Little Miss is.
This is a good #MondayMotivation
After a decade of rejections, I got my first novel published. Now Iβve got my dream, I wonβt stop! https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/apr/29/a-new-start-after-60-after-a-decade-of-rejections-i-got-my-first-novel-published-now-ive-got-my-dream-i-wont-stop?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Some COVID conscious people are worried about mask bans because protestors are wearing them. That's understandable, but (a) they are wearing them to mitigate COVID spread, and (b) even if COVID didn't exist, they should have the right to wear them to protect against surveillance.
Mendacious misanthrope Trump reposted this on his laughably titled Truth Social site.
Has nobody told Melania that her husband is a five-time draft dodger who mocks POWS, calls our war dead βsuckersβ and βlosers,β insults Gold Star families, and attempted to overthrow U.S. democracy.

After 12 days, for a repair that was supposed to be 1 day, I called the dealership and told them I wanted my car back. What's wrong with it is cosmetic, has no impact on the car, and can actually be done in 1 day once they have the part. We've all been waiting, and I've been driving a loaner car that's not mine, and that I wouldn't have bought in the first place. It's been disrupting me, and I've grown to hate that loaner car more each day. Today was my breaking point.
