Did hegseth get his jawline done? Like bolted on a buttchin™?
I was having an extremely satisfying BM and a HUGE cockroach ran out from behind the toilet. Like 3 inches. It was as freaked out as I was. (We have these massive 'palmetto bugs' out here and every now and then one makes its way in the house) Poor bugger has gone on to Valhalla. I'm left empty.
'The Killing Moon' by Echo and the Bunnymen came up in the playlist as I pulled up to the coffee shop this morning. Inside, a tinky musak version of the same song was playing. World gonna end?
The number of people walking around my immigration lawyers' conference with T-shirts that read CHINGA LA MIGRA is just a treat
We're all going to just ridicule the fuck out of Stephen Miller for as long as it takes, right?
Just finished 'Babel' by R.F. Kuang in a weird bar in San Francisco. As a language nerd, I am meant to love this book. It is probably more gripping for someone who has not lived in other languages for a spell, but even for me it was pretty good.
Controversial take, also a marriage of horribles: AI MAKES POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS BETTER

I am in Oakland and many things kind of smell like wet dog.
I will not attend the yacht cocktail tour unless my boss tells me I have to.
Transformers the Movie (1986). "It is the year 2005. The treacherous Decepticons have conquered the Autobots' home planet of Cybertron. But from secret staging grounds on two of Cybertron's moons, the valiant Autobots prepare to retake their homeland..."

I work in an industry that is splotched with wealth but the underpinnings are working class white collar. Is that a thing? People working in offices and making salaries but not terribly well paid? Mostly middle class or middle class aspirant? Anyway, the casual displays of wealth still shock me.
Just because people are short sighted here... The S&P is still up 500 for the year and almost 1000 since the administration decided to attack Iran.

Once again I'm asking you to listen to 'The Humbling River' by @puscifermusic.bsky.social
In another story, I spent the entire semester of shop class chewing through a metal bar the teacher used to operate a drill press. I succeeded because it was iron, not steel.
Steven Perkins@stevenperkins.bsky.social · 2w agoplease delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street
In high school when the Internet was new I figured out how to set up an admin account and created dozens of email accts for friends to bypass the rudimentary student restrictions that were in place. Principal found out about one and called me in, but just said to chill and not get caught next time.

Today I was playing overwatch and a round turned bad after the other team swapped characters, adding Pharah (a flying missile boat). One of my team switched from a hitscan (aim-based ranged character that could target Pharah) to Junkrat (a ground based grenade goblin). It was a weird choice.
Cue the president getting bored and disenchanted and the whole news cycle wondering what's going on
Between Texas, Kansas, and the Carolinas, the Dems have obtained a BBQ majority
It’s incredibly important to recognize that Democrats running up the score so high they exceeded the margins of fuckery is not a sign of democratic health. It is a time-limited reprieve to secure the government before we lose it. This was the failure of the Biden Era that cannot be repeated.
Totally independent of the rest of the joy, this is the first time in his goddamn life that Mike Dewine hasn't been on the public dole. I guess he's retiring so he's on some public benefits (OPERS?), but goodbye you fucking toad.
Oh, before I forget, I hope they throw Hakeem Jeffries in a closet and elect a better speaker. He won't know he's in there. He'll be surprised later.
EAT SHIT LINDSEY GRAHAM'S CORPSE! (I hope this survives the night)
20 year old me is fuggin DANCING in the streets. BLACK LADY GOVERNOR! BLACK LADY GOVERNOR!!!!!
Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE@leftistlawyer.com · 6d agoMercy just told me that Keisha Lance Bottoms is the first Black woman governor in US history, which is both an incredible accomplishment and another fucking travesty that it took 250 years.
