That which doesn’t kill you still hurts a lot, and it’s not a cool experience

The way you behave when the only audiences you’ve ever sat in were Pig Races and Demolition Derbies.

Trying to find people I relate to on Mastodon. Please boost if you:

-don't believe in palindromes.

-once saw a psychic who told you that you will die in a tragic mini golf accident.

-think that cops should give you one chance to rock, paper, scissors your way out of a speeding ticket.

-microdose bananas to keep your potassium levels stable.

-constantly say sorry whenever you're walking just in case you bump into a ghost.

I do sing the anthem (off-key, and with a suspect falsetto for that high note. Hey, we can't all be Prince! Some of us have to be Barry White. OK Biz Markie).

But I'm making an informed choice, because I know white US history.

I don't judge Black folk or folk of any color that choose not to sing it, as "un-American" or "un-patriotic."

For some folk, American patriotism means unquestioning loyalty to the ideals of a white supremacist America. For them, anti-racism itself, is anti-America.

So, according to some people called “doctors,” you can avoid hangovers by not drinking the night before.

Yeah, like I’m gonna fall for that!

If you do not believe in scientific theory, test them out and prove them wrong. No scientist would argue with the results proven time and time again again.

Start with the theory of gravity.

Powerful. Simple. Truth.

Stuff that looks like Kyrsten Sinema’s #SOTU yellow dress

*me, to my 3 year old just now

"Deacon, I told you not to throw rocks. Why did you throw rocks??"

"Because I'm Deacon and I throw rocks."

I've never been shut down my such simple and forcefully obvious truth in my entire life.

"As the tech industry barrels toward a recession, platform engineering presents itself as a way for organizations to do less with more — while hopefully decreasing the cognitive load that still has the vast majority of developers burnt out." Jennifer Riggins

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Delivers The Christian Fascist White Grievance Incel Shut-In SOTU Response - Wonkette https://www.wonkette.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-state-of-the-union-responsesarah-huckabee-sanders-state-of-the-union-response

I finally watched the #gop response to the Address #darkbrandon gave the country.

Like she did in the last Administration, #huckabee still lies.

How can people who claim to be Christian look at themselves in the mirror after telling these falsehoods. There is a Commandment against lying, right?

I call today’s look, ‘I can’t find my lint roller, but I’m fucking wearing these black pants anyway.’

Last Sunday afternoon, my wife and I decided to play a game of Risk.

Or as she describes it, showing me some clothes that she bought to “see what I think”.

Teaching about the Holocaust should be mandatory. No exceptions just because it might shock students. It is horrific, all decent young people need to know this.
Teach US students about Holocaust, experts say, amid rise in antisemitism

@ScottSoCal I’ll need to schedule some time for a lunch-and-learn so I can be more effective at not being sick
