I don't know who needs to hear this this morning, but...
Whatever you do, it is important to somebody.
You are important.
Your life and your actions have an incalculable impact on others, and things we may never know would have been impossible without you.
Don't let the sky be taken from anyone.

This is disturbing...
We need transparency and at least continuity of operations as things are "fixed" at the very least! How are people this incompetent in government?

So I finished 20 years and got disability... they said permanent... I count on that and my pension now for income. Are people magically going to get better because they just don't have time or a claim system? Other articles talk about how tricare is failed... I wonder why! HANDS OFF HEALTH AND VA!

Is anyone else concerned about the Hawaii volcano observatory being on the chopping block for federal leases, especially since it has been erupting recently? Seriously, wtf...

Seriously... I had to have a psych evaluation (however brief) if I took anything stronger than Tylenol or Motrin...
Makes sense if you already gave up the secrets to Russia or China...

Anyone annoyed by some popular postings using X as the medium or YouTube? I think greater effort can be made to divorce from those either bowing or joining the insanity.
YouTube - Google - Gulf of America idiocy
X - why still using that disinformation machine, especially as a video sharing medium?

I'm not paranoid, just cautious... and realistic

BLUF:
People need to live, and we should make life better for others... but we are all getting tired of a$$hats.
A good country meets citizens' hierarchy of needs.
It took 20 years of service, disability claims, and trauma for my fam to provisionally get a foothold in middle class. That's F*d up.

Quick intro part deux:
Used to have cats until their sentience decided to target my wife... under couches to swipe at ankles, perching on doors to attack from above...
Once I left on deployment or patrol, -there could be only one-.
I can't blame her. Cats have their own Lovecraft story.

I’m feeling like for the next four years all media outlets are going to become just like Fox News because they will just bow down to their king. I’m afraid that more people will be brainwashed. This is what happens when a dictator threatens the media. Let’s see who stands up to him.

Quick intro:
geek since childhood turned IT, Navy sub vet of 20 years.
My son and wife are my pride.
I'm saddened by humanity and the US, but find comfort in pets, computers, heralds and especially success stories of justice, good, equity, and love.
Linux and open source also make me happy.
