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.

Maybe McCarthy is just running the clock to claim squatter rights on Speaker's office.
Hey everyone. Just wanted to eliminate the confusion and let you know that this is actually me. π Hope you are having an awesome Thursday!

It's Thursday and as everyone is talking about Simon Pegg (thanks to his glorious takedown of the PM) here's a throwback to my poster for Shaun of the Dead π π§

@ScottSoCal We're probably related :-) My grand uncle lived there with his 2 wives and 100+ children and grandchildren.
Researching mines in northern Spain I came across this curious object. It's a canary cage designed to keep the canary alive in the event of a gas leak. If a miner saw the canary laying at the bottom of the cage it was time to abandon everything and leave the mine, but not without first closing the latched glass door and opening the valve of the oxygen bottle to save the bird. A miner would do that on their way out and take the bird with them. It's a signifier of the miner's legendary sense of solidarity, no lives lost to the mine on a miners watch. A solidarity that was also crucial in the fight for workers rights, creating safer and more humane working conditions, achievements of unionization and solidarity that some of us still enjoy today.

Jeffries is still in the lead π€
BTW, here's a little interesting fact. You may have noticed that cameras in the House the last few days are frequently focusing on groups of congresspersons and areas other than the front of the chamber. This is NOT typical. C-SPAN operates the cameras and feeds them out. Normally, House leadership controls where the cameras point, and that is virtually always to the front, avoiding any other areas or groups of persons in the chamber. But with the House leadership in limbo, C-SPAN has full control, and they're wisely making the most of it!

Kevin McCarthy might move some Freedom Caucus members his way by giving in to all their demands. But it won't win over the "Never Kevins" who are blocking his path. So my guess is, it's still a no-go. Final answer.
@ScottSoCal @TinCanWin here I am hiding behind the clock with just my little head sticking out.
@ScottSoCal @TinCanWin I wonder if thatβs why I havenβt been taken outside muchβ¦
Well Iβm glad they feel like they have a safe place to go. I like to go hide behind the clock on the bookshelf when I see something scary.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday ordered a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine on Orthodox Christmas.
The Facts are simple - Russia is getting their asses kicked and need 36 hours to gather their shit.
Ukraine sees through this lie and will not stop their drive to oust the Russian invaders!

Iβm not sure how long Iβll enjoy watching Kevin McCarthy being ritually humiliated but Iβm willing to give it another day
Oops! I did again:
I created a Twitter account pretending to be @SenMarkey (with his permission) and applied for Blue βverification.β
And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark.
