Not vote for a woman, vote for THAT woman
I voted for Jill Stein, who IS a woman
I also did NOT vote for Hillary Clinton after the DNC screwed Bernie Sanders
The DEMOCRATIC PARTY is the reason we have a convicted felon as President today

@firefly-aerospace.bsky.social had a failed launch today
I saw something weird on their launch feed 👇
You would think with all those engineers around someone would know how to set the clock on the VCR! 😂

I have been away since mid-January, I wanted to see how the new administration in DC would go first
Not only has it been bad, it has been much, much worse that I thought it would go
Rather than get worked up about it I decided I would rather laugh at the sheer stupidity of the situation...

Picture of beer taps mounted on a reflective metal surface at Big Hops on Bitters Road
It is like two of the beers are telling me "pick me! pick me!"
Sometimes a good picture is simply being in the right place at the right time

2016 seems so far away now
We were younger and had no idea what the next 8 years would bring 🫤
If we are living in a simulation as some people believe then the person running the simulation is one sick SOB 😠
Hang on, we are in for a rough ride the next 4 years 😬

Before the pandemic I used to drive all over town taking pictures, since then not so much so I need to start doing so again
I like taking pictures of neon signs 😀
Currently reorganizing my files, once I get done I should start posting more pics

Hate to burst your bubble but:
Too bad the Democratic elites did not allow the voters to pick the Presidential candidate
Too bad the Dems campaigned on "Orange Man bad" and culture war issues
Too bad the Dems did not campaign on issues that actually mattered to average Americans
It's on you Dems

This is a scam account
@maviswanczyk998.bsky.social
They said they won the lottery and were giving away money
They sent a phishing email from a Gmail account
Notice how the font on the date is sharp while the rest of the text is fuzzy due to it being a JPG
Plus today is Sunday not Saturday! 🤣

I always am surprised by the number of climate change deniers out there
A newspaper clipping from 1912 that states that carbon dioxide released by burning coal can raise the earth's temperature
The article ended optimistically by stating: "The effect may be considerable in a few centuries." 🫤

I am still on Win 10 because I HATE the Win 11 taskbar
I like mine on the right with no icon grouping set wide enough to read the text labels (and vertical tabs in Firefox) like below
I found StartAllBack which lets you set it Win 10 style on Win 11
At $5 it is a bargain
