Guess Trump will finally have a real Time Man of the Year to frame and put up to replace the fake one he has in Mar-a-Lago.
Time magazine has named President-elect Donald Trump as 2024’s person of the year.

The publication announced its selection Thursday. This is Trump’s second time, after first being selected in 2016. Pop megastar Taylor Swift was 2023’s person of the year.
Donald Trump named Time magazine’s person of the year
President-elect Donald Trump has long considered Time’s person of the year his holy grail. He also won the title in 2016.

I knew people who watched "Plandemic," and refused to believe in Covid early in the pandemic. I'm getting over my first bout of it, been sick for a week, well, I'm firmly in the camp of there was no conspiracy on the part of the government.
RFK Jr revealed that his group, Children’s Health Defense, financed “Plandemic,” a conspiracy “documentary” suggesting the COVID-19 pandemic was government planned.

Welp, you know what they say, it's always September somewhere, and today is the first day of September here on Bluesky.

9 times out of 10, it's a Republican. Once in a great while you'll see a Democrat arrested for the same despicable type of crime, but very rarely.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Ex-North Dakota lawmaker has been indicted on a federal count alleging he traveled to Prague with intent to rape a minor.

R.I.P. to the wedge of parmesan cheese that my dog stole because it fell on the floor. Can't retrieve it without risking life & limb from a very angry, bitey dog.

Came out of my office this morning to find Buddy right outside my door (there's a baby gate that keeps him out because he likes to steal things like my slippers). @darthbluesky.bsky.social

My feed over on the hellsite now pretty much consists of ads and a few news orgs I follow who haven't deserted the sinking ship. I am trying to DL an archive of my posts there, and while it claims to have sent me a verification email, I never received one, no matter how hard I try.

I think I've had too much caffeine this morning because my whole body is vibrating. Probably not the greatest idea to have a caffeinated protein shake, then a caffeine pill washed down with my water mixed with a caffeinated flavor packet. Whee!

Made myself officially old by signing up for Medicare. Don't need to use it yet since I'm covered under my husband's excellent private health insurance but have to be ready for the day he retires.

Work done. Now it's time to check the plums in the dehydrator. If they're dry enough, I can seal them into a Mason jar and bid adieu to this year's plum harvest.

I wish they'd get the new COVID-19 vaccine in at the pharmacy we use (Safeway). I'm 65, spouse is 66, so we're those senior citizens who should be getting the new vax, but it's not happening yet. Now I have to wear a mask in public again, so I can keep dodging the virus bullet.

TGIF. I spent a minute or two trying to catch what I thought was a fungus gnat (I have lots of plants in my office) and was unsuccessful. Finally dawned on me that it wasn't a gnat, but an eye floater, one that I hadn't noticed before. So how is your Friday going?

Thinking about that time when I named my family newsletter, "Hello, I Must Be Going." That memory just popped into my head right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YrN...

Well, well, someone fucked around and found out. It does prove my husband's point about the corrupt politicians being on both sides of the aisle.

Well, yikes. Every day brings another fresh transcriptionist hell. We have a guy with an extreme stutter to where I have to transcribe every "uh, uh, uh" infinity times. And I think his wife is interjecting answers, but she isn't a native English speaker, so it's heavily-accented English. FML.

Reschedule our flu & RSV shot appointments for the same time on the 29th as originally planned. No word on when they'll have the new Covid shots in yet,which is frustrating when I see people getting in other cities. Time to go back to wearing masks any time we're near others indoors.
September 21, 2023 at 8:51 PM
Why, oh, why did I decide to accept this recorded statement to transcribe? I question my sanity some days more than others. Naturally, this person has a strong foreign accent & not the best command of the English language, so it's hard to discern what he's actually saying. I'm a professional, though

Doggone Safeway Pharmacy canceled the vaccination appointments for myself and spouse due to not having the new Covid-19 one. But why not the keep that part where we were getting the flu and RSV ones? Stupid. Now I have to reschedule. Boo.

Okay. In what universe is the word "golly" considered offensive? Sometimes I wonder about the suggestions my work editor program makes.

Well, I have just arrived here via invite code after being on the waitlist forever and for someone, anyone to invite me, so thank you to my benefactor. Still need to decide on an avatar.
