Trump went on to describe soldiers he had seen in media accounts who had been spit upon who “want to knock the hell out of a person, but he’s not allowed to do anything … I say: ‘They spit, we hit’. Is that OK? I think so, they spit – it’s a new thing – ‘They spit, we hit’”. Trump said that immigration enforcement agents, facing people throwing bricks at their vehicles, should retaliate. “I say it here, you can get out of that car and you do whatever the hell you want to do”.

Fall has arrived! 🥵🙄 #florida
A screenshot of the Google Weather app showing 5 days of the 10 day forecast from September 1st to 5th, showing a range of highs from 84F to 88F and lows from 73F to 75F. Every day has a moderate chance of rain. The joke is that for most of the country this is still really hot, but in Florida it's a welcome relief from temps in the high 90s. This place sucks.

A screenshot of a LinkedIn post, stolen from Reddit, of a photo of an abandoned shopping cart. The post says that you should abandon your shopping cart so you don't steal jobs from cart pushers. It also says being mean to waiters is constructive criticism.

@amiry.bsky.social I'm wearing my gay #startrek shirt and thought of you!
A black shirt with six vertical stripes in the shape of the classic Star Trek symbol. The colors of each stripe from right to left (which is inverted in the photo), are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple . The shirt is stretched over my chest, which distorts the print. Oh well!

Florida Man is hot, but real dumb. In other news, water is wet.
Screenshot of an online article WKMG Channel 6 Orlando aka clickorlando.com, which headline reads: "Longwood super speeder arrested, thinks he was being raced by trooper, FHP says" and the subhead days: "Traffic stop occurred on I-4 near Lake Mary" with a byline from Justice Covert, media intern.

A screenshot from the Weather Channel app. It says that there's a heat advisory in the counties of central Florida (and lists the counties) with a heat index from 108° F to 112° F.

Stede wiped his eyes, though he wasn't quite sure when he'd turned to tears. "You have to understand, Ed; I'd spent so many years of my life being unhappy that it became a comfort to me- the sadness, I mean. It was difficult to imagine what I might become should I ever exist outside of it."

"But revenge is a mirage, hombre. You get there, and it's just... nothing. Same life you've had before, same problems, just a load of wasted years. Life's short. There's time to punish the people who hurt you, or to be with the people who who're trying their best to heal you. You might not get the time to do both."

"I'm sorry if your mother said yes, if you're good," Stede murmurs. "I'm sorry Jack said yes, if you're fun. I'm sorry Izzy said yes, if you're strong." "Fuck off," he whispers against Stede's mouth. "Everyone puts conditions on it. That's how it fucking is." Stede, I'm sorry Ed said yes, if you sent Izzy and John adrift to their deaths.

"A lot of people... I-I don't know. Start acting out like I'm everything, then I make one mistake—share a little bit too much—and suddenly I'm nothing. It's hard. It's really hard. And it's hard not to watch for the signs of it all happening over again."

"If that's true... why do things always go to shit?" he asks. "If I'm so amazing, why do people vanish over the horizon as soon as I open up to them?" Stede tucks a few loose strands of hair behind Ed's ear. "Sweetheart," he says. "Very simply, I think you've been choosing fickle and thoughtless friends." Ed huffs wishing he could believe that. "Maybe they've felt like the only kind of friends you deserve," Stede goes on, and Ed feels his very soul fall quiet to listen. "Maybe it's even become something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. You don't choose good friends out of the fear that you'll lose them, but the bad friends you allow yourself to have—who are uncaring idiots who treat you thoughtlessly—and are much more likely to leave you. And every time one of them does the lesson reinforces itself."

He's going to stop counting what he's lost, and count the things he is instead. Letting go of the past always seemed like an act of weakness before. Now Ed turns it quietly in his hands, he finds that it looks at it like an act of power. My life, he thinks. My future. He has things to live for, things to fight for.

" I mistook his arrogance for self-confidence and his greed for ambition. I never saw him clearly, not until the end. I'd entirely miss the way he'd undermined my belief in myself and what I'm capable of."
