It is a beautiful morning I the Pacific Northwest, I walked into the sunrise on my way home, and thought, "Empire Cheetos did not fuck this part of my day up. Amen."

What I really want is some democrat politician to neck a bottle of whiskey and take a swing at the nearest GOP politician. If it happens to be AOC vs. MTG I want ringside seats.
If it's AOC vs. JD Vance, I want money on it.

The cruel experiences I've had:
LGBTQ+ folk: none, cis women: some, cis men: uncountable.
I think we should judge people harshly for their cruelty, and better for their kindness.

Last week, a production defect ruined my new code deployment. And my week.
This week, deploying a team-generated remedy is making my week great.

I rearranged my music room/office. Everything hurts.

On a thread this morning about messing with menstruation tracking apps. There were recommendations for people to use them chaotically.
One responder pointed out that was easy to filter. Realistic, but inaccurate data is better.
Heard.

Good morning Blue sky, from a slightly wind-damaged west coaster. I'm sitting in my car on a ferry on a quest to find power, internet and tea. Not necessarily in that order.

I generally don't remember my personally solar anniversaries, but I think this one will be filed under, '... the one before things got really bad.'

So, putting it out there for skeeters; is there a methodology/platform/tool that allows you to share moral/ethical/societal questions, get feedback and get the best answers to bubble to the top?

I've stayed out of the news, but some has filtered in. Can I reasonably expect a cabinet posting if I open the right cracker Jack box?
