Literally unable to stop and smell the roses.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving is the most Sunday feeling Saturday of the year.

I’m taking the family on a Caribbean cruise soon.

I sure hope our secretary of war doesn’t decide to make Carnival the target of his next war crime.

Can confirm that the problem is real.

I solved it by moving far enough away from my hometown that returning for holidays is effectively impossible.
You will return to your hometown tonight and you will tempted to go out to the bars.

If you do so, you will see other people from high school.

So like.

Don’t do that.

The fuck.

Why would even consider —

I mean —

The hell.

Idiot.

Don’t.

Clip this out and save for your records.

Listening to Guided By Voices today. It seems that a lot of people who like other bands I like also really like GBV, but thus far they’ve not clicked for me.

But it’s been awhile since I’ve listened to them and there’s an awful lot I’ve not heard (41 albums released!)

I had my blood drawn once by a woman doing a spiel about how terrible her childhood was and how having canned soup for dinner was cause for celebration because they only got one or two hot meals a year.

Like, can I have someone not dealing with anger issues stick that needle in my arm, please?
love to get my blood drawn next to a dude who's doing open mic night "and what's the deal with passing out" bro please not now they're draining my lifeforce rn

Can’t wait to see what unhinged things Trump has say after yesterday’s elections.

My god, I hate Teams. There is always one (1) unread notification, but where is it? Where in the 60 billion chats and 90 billion channels and sub channels is it, because even when I filter by unread, nothing comes up and that one (1) notification remains there forever, like the undead.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...

Took my daughter and her friend to the library so they can prepare for a Science Olympiad competition this weekend. Friend’s mother came to pick up her daughter - and is now stuck in the elevator.

If his brain can comprehend the idea that even he will someday die, he’s going to put his mausoleum inside the new Trump House. This is his pyramid.
I think Trump is aiming to eventually demo the entire White House, here’s why:
(1) he’s already tearing down the *entire* East Wing per NBC News and others. Possibly as soon as this weekend.
(2) the ballroom is going to be so massive that the rest of the WH will not look right next to it. The

Finalizing my retirement plans:

1. Diligently save as much money as possible
2. Real estate bubble implodes
3. Borrow as much as I can against my savings to buy real estate
4. Hyperinflation kicks in and wipes out all my debt.
5. Retreat to my fortified compound

I'd love to hear ONE of them ask: "This 'revolutionarily disruptive' tech has been widely available now for 3 years... can you point to a single new thing created with it?"

Because... you can't!
we still don't have enough journos asking "but, like, what does it do... now?"

Welp, the diagnosis is that it’ll take $600 to repair a seven year old laptop, so I guess I’ll be shopping for a new laptop soon.

I’m contemplating putting together a Linux machine. It’s been many, many, years, but that used to be my daily driver.
Well, frack, my MacBook Pro seems to have died in its sleep sometime this week and will no longer power on.
