if you are a guest in my house, you get the same kind of towels I get. That doesn't mean they are any good. You have been warned.
Given that many of us may either be house guests or are potentially hosting house guests in the coming days and weeks, I put out this tiny advice video 😉

And don't forget to decline the face scan at TSA and request a manual ID verification. There's no need to be giving them additional data points.
I cannot express how important it is for anyone going through a secured checkpoint like TSA to make sure thier phone is in BFU (Before First Unlock) mode. To enter this state: reboot your phone and don't unlock it.
In BFU mode all data is encrypted and your phone requires a passcode to unlock.

I was just asked for my phone (to swipe the outside for whatever) for the 1st time during a “random” TSA extra screening for a domestic flight - i told them i didn’t consent to a search of the phone, made sure there were no notifications visible & it was locked and didn’t let it out of my sight…

Nothing better for my mental health than spending hours in the woods with no cell service. 3.5 miles, plenty of elevation change, a nice snack by some waterfalls with a book and no doomscrolling for nearly four hours.
I might need to do that again next weekend at this rate.

Democrats had the opportunity to force Republicans take the fall for the worst holiday travel season on record.
Instead they voted to get blamed for massive healthcare premium increases just so they didn't get thier flights delayed or cancelled.

I was reading through reviews on the orange hardware store site for dish washer detergent and found this absolute turd of a review.

Friendly reminder to anybody who isn't paying attention. Welcome to the off-year election cycle. Polls open today. You should go vote. Off-year elections are just as, if not more important, than presidential and midterm elections.

Turns out most voters just want you to talk with them, to listen to thier concerns, and not belittle them. The Democratic party regularly fails at this.
I love that this is literally just
we realized we weren't connecting with Black people so we tried talking to more Black people and Black people like us much better now

"Black organizers had noticed gaps in the campaign’s strategy for reaching Black voters. To address them, they led canvasses in working-class Black neighborhoods...By early October, Mamdani had taken a commanding lead over Cuomo among Black voters"

If you feel the absolute need to have surveillance cameras up on your house, make sure you own your own data and can tell the cops to take a hike if they dont have a subpoena.
@ubiquiti.bsky.social is on my shortlist for replacing your ring cameras.

Why even bother breaking out the sharpie at that point?
Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

I think we need to tax them more. Hell, with the amount of money these people are throwing at this, Mamrandi might need to increase the planned amount for the new tax brackets because they clearly have plenty of money to burn.
