Celebrating a successful mission πŸš€

As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologizeβ€”rememberβ€”SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of terminationβ€”while spending $0 updating SW software😳

Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greedβ€”& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.

In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.

To appreciate the beauty of the winter, it is important to embrace it. That shift will create a new love for the sub-zero temperatures and brighten the mood. I danced on the frozen Yukon river at -25C/-13F. I created joy, hope, healing & positivity. I am dispatching all to you. Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/CWnD9IF46bY

If it walks like a duck…

I suspected that the functionality of QT was available, but didn’t find the impetus to check as you have.
I also suspect it could be automated by a macro to give the single button functionality that some people want.

I don’t think I ever understood the politics / use of QT. On balance I think I’d side with the people who say they have been harmed by QT ( because harm ) over those who feel they need the *single button* feature.

@ScottSoCal @UncleDuke1969 It could be worse. Our eldest (now 28) recently told us that she walked in on us as a child without us noticing.

Me: um... how much did you see?

Adult child: "well, now I can say, 'yay Dad! Good man, for being so diligent with your mouth!' But the door was behind you, so I got an eyeful of your... everything. It was... yeah. Traumatizing."

i have decided 2023 will be the year i just start taking ppl at face value

since most ppl are just saying what they mean, it will make interactions w them less complicated

and for the ppl who are being passive-aggressive or whatever... well, that'll just drive 'em nuts

so win-win

The great thing about hiking the trails on Cape Cod is NO BEARS. I live in fear of bears, and I've been a hiker all my life, and I think I may have finally escaped them. Unless they learn to swim.

At the end of a historic, productive session of Congress full of bipartisan results, I still have a few bills left to sign.

Take a guess how long it took me to sign a stack of 65 of them.

The DeSantis administration was sued for failing to release official records relating to its infamous migrant flight to Martha’s Vineyard. Then it dumped the documents right before Christmas, hoping no one would notice. But we noticed. I’m doing my part to amplify this story.

My older gal, Bonnie Blue isn't feeling well this morning. Very quiet, not herself πŸ˜” keep her in your thoughts please. I hate it when one of my pups is not feeling well. I'm so paranoid, especially when they're older.

As an adult, I have made peace with the idea that my parents must have had sex, but as an only child, I am comforted by the fact that it was just the one time.

When I first starting posting more on Mastodon I was unsure if I would talk about trans stuff at all. Every time I talked about being trans on Twitter I would lose followers. People told me to keep it to myself. That I talked about being trans too much. I’m really glad that I decided to open up on Mastodon too because the amount of support and community here is incredible. I love all the little trans people in my phone πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ πŸ’•

Cognitive Dissonance: the discomfort a person feels when their behavior does not align with their values or beliefs

Example: You bought a high-end electric vehicle to prove you were a progressive environmentalist. Then you realized who Elon Musk was.
