Engineer, Roboticist, Dad, HAM, Lifelong learner, and teller of stories. I write code, build gizmos, and love learning new things.

I wish the Max Miller story was less framed as “look at how Republicans are hypocrites” and more “once again powerful people clearly knew of a horrific level of abuse being performed to somebody and obviously chose not to care about until it became a political liability.”

Since people will say "Who could have known?" etc about Mitch McConnell's death I'm going to put this out here, a week before August 3rd, and y'all and if he somehow recovers I'll donate $100 to what ever hospital treated him. I assert that on August 4th we will be told Mitch has "succumbed." A 🧵

We are now just 8 days away from the announcement that Mitch has 'taken a turn for the worse and succumbed.' It's a good time to remember Jahi McMath who was dead for YEARS before her parents could accept it and her life support ended.

It will never not amaze me that Gen-Z could single-handedly elect people who would forgive their student debt and jail those responsible for making them wage slaves in the first place, but don't.

I am always amused when some guy, and it is always a guy, confidently comments on something which simultaneously demonstrates that they no absolutely nothing about the subject they are commenting on, and that no one in their circle of friends has ever called them on it.

They say, "Don't speak ill of the dead." and they also say, "Mitch McConnell isn't dead." So I'm okay if I say that Mitch McConnell is a piece of crap whose career in the Senate did more damage to the US than any Communist could ever hope to achieve by themself.

Wait, am I reading this right? The President is using the Smoot-Hawley tariff and trade act put 50% tariffs on Canada? The same act that took us right into the Great Depression for similarly stupid moves?

You would think he could have AT LEAST had the puppet president of Venezuela produce documents that showed definitively that Hugo Chavez interfered with the election as Sidney Powell proclaimed.

In vampire stories, when the main vampire dies, the people that the main vampire had sired also die right? Is that vampire canon or just a plot device in some stories?
