Mostly harmless.
You know what's fun? Being given more "mandatory" things to do in a day than any human being can accomplish and then management acting as if working over to do it is a choice for me to make.

It's free OT (I'm salaried). Something's got to give.

I am absolutely disgusted at the destruction of the East Wing to replace it with a god-awful brick. I'm sure the West Wing is next, and who knows? Maybe even the main house.

Welp, a post about Charlie Kirk enraged some doofus so much they complained to my company about it. So I've spent the past hour and a half or so locking down my social media and taking down profile pictures.

Fuck this timeline.

Want to know what Kimmel said about Charlie Kirk? Watch the video, the clip is about 20 seconds in.

Spoiler alert - he said nothing about Kirk. What he did do was make a joke about the tinpot dictator's flippant reaction to it.

We're cooked.

The thought occurs - apparently so many little MAGAts were horrified that the Munchkins were celebrating the fact that the Wicked Witch of the East was gone.

First it was Colbert. Now Kimmel (allegedly "pulling" but "indefinitely" sure sounds like "cancelled"). Next will probably be Myers, probably even Oliver.

We're here y'all. Free speech is dead. Liberty, freedom, and civil rights are dead. Progress is dead.

Under His eye and whatever BS.

Guys... I think we're in the Bad Place.
September 16, 2025 at 8:21 PM
Don't forget that 24 yrs ago today 3,000+ ppl died in a nat'l tragedy that reverberated int'lly.

Never forget what happened nor the unity of purpose we felt on 9/12. I hope we can find unity again that isn't rooted in violence and death, but in a collective will to do better b/c we can be better.
September 11, 2025 at 6:39 PM
Here it comes! All the hand wringing and calls for unity when people like Charlie Kirk are the very ones undermining any unity and refuse to even talk to the other side.

I have no place in my life for this kind of thinking.
September 10, 2025 at 11:25 PM
Charlie Kirk is dead. Oh no. Anyway.

I will not celebrate the act that killed him, but you will not find me mourning him b/c he's gone. If you want to be revered in death don't be a POS in life.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

You guys, YOU GUYS. How is it I've used Office for 47-11 billion years and found out just today that Shift + Windows Key + Right/Left Arrow moves the active window to the next monitor to the right/left?!

HOW?!

It'd be really nice if my company realized that no machine, especially one of the human variety, can run at 125% of capacity indefinitely. I've already used up all the mental capacity I had reserved thru Thursday.

Official State Dept policy is you must have "correct" faith and "right" morals to deserve freedom.

Welcome to Gilead.

This is the Nazi or Communist propaganda your government is putting out now. I'm at a loss for words.

Seems a good time to remind the class that sci-fi has always been woke, even if some refuse to see it, and while it often makes a point that's not topical in the moment, it will come up again in the future.

I really, really am beginning to think "dude old" was a distraction.

As of today, I've lost 50 pounds!

I see that MAGAts, deep in "finding out", are shocked, dismayed, and bewildered that the man who promised to shaft people meant everybody and not just "those people". To them I say:

I ran out of fucks 1/20/2025. More are on backorder but the factory shut down b/c of tariffs. Check back in 2029.

I think he's on top of the East Colonnade, and if so he's up there b/c that's where the damn hallway from the East Room to his new East Palace will be built. Probably.

Doesn't explain all the other crazy.
My kingdom for a healthy gust of wind…

Because I don't have the engagement on here that I do on Threads, I'm going to express my frustration here:

Complaining about leftists invariably makes leftists call me a Nazi and MAGAts to think I'm one of them.

FML.

I wish I could work somewhere unionized so that "that's not my job" would be a valid excuse to not do something piled onto you that you don't have the time or energy to do in addition to what you already don't have the time or energy to do.

What's been entirely unreal and hard to come to grips w/ for me is the realization that all the "guardrails" protecting democracy were a lack of audacity to just do it and ignore the courts. Apparently.

Wouldn't it be fun if late night ratings soared b/c of the orange man and then nobody wants to cancel any of it?

I've done the math on my pay and it was eye opening.

Base pay chg'd an avg of -4.69% when adj'd for inflation, and incld'g everything it averaged -0.33%. Last year was the only year where I got a raise, and it was 0.12%... only if you include things not the day-to-day.

Something has got to give.
