My take on the government shutdown ending:
What was the point?
Was it to stress us out? Distraction from the Epstein files? Prevent NOTHING from happening?
Insurance premiums are going to annihilate people sooner than later, if they make it through their grocery and gas bills... without SNAP.

Until it happens, I hold no emotion towards this event.
When it happens, the context could matter, so I will do my best to keep my emotions private.
The dust has settled? It's true? Don't be surprised...

Not sure what happened to my "algorithm" today, but I suddenly started getting advertisements for female hygiene products...

So, is it about informing the sheep that they are sheep? Or leading the sheep to a better place?
Or maybe it's, duck the sheep, they are morons who didn't know what's best for them...
Ugh my neighbors today...

Usually, if you see me dancing, it's because I have to pee.

Like it or not, you're in the game, and cashing out only means you're dead.
Good inner morality is noble, but knowing a better way to the future doesn't mean you'll win every fight.
Putting your life on the line for anything is as strong a bet as anyone has. Pay attention, ask questions.

Lots of flash oh! look a whore.

And many meet their maker.
Hope you like lots of beaches
And sunsets, and... Yeah, um Disney? Man, this place is just..

I've figured out what the problem is with the internet.
Trust.

From a single human perspective, it contains more information than can be understood.
Truth is out there, sure, mixed in with all the lies. But there are a LOT of lies for every truth. Trusting with our eyes is no longer secure.

It's kinda hilarious the new MAGA bots on bluesky now. They create their own mini echo chamber, no replies unless they follow you, and still somehow it shows up on my feed...

Patting myself on the back for not responding to an online idiot... I've reached my limit of correcting misinformation for the day.
Gotta go for a walk to recharge my empathy for my ignorant neighbors... Maybe we can talk about how nice their front lawn is looking!

In some ways, the world isn't changing fast enough.
Confident ignorance and thoughtless tradition are leading the way to conflict with the endless data that filters down to an individual.
It's overwhelming how WRONG some people are, and how LOUD they are.

Came back from a vacation last Sunday... Coming back to Florida put me in a sour mood.
I'm going to exercise tomorrow, go to work, then I'm going to make two plans. One for if everything goes right, and then one for the other way...
On a good note, SpongeBob was adopted! He seems happy.

All the fake Christians in my Facebook family and friends who haven't been to church in years if ever are going absolutely nuts with the stupid Charlie Kirk tributes. Why I even bother interacting with some of them is a good question.
