Had a few minutes of sheer panic because my laptop couldn't see my D: drive. I was trying to fix it with Disk Management and that didn't work, either. It was invisible. Friends, my external drive wasn't plugged in. And the usb I had plugged in clearly said, "Bose," on it.

Voting, voting, keep those folks a voting, Hugos.

The other day I saw a satire video of trad wives and I just figured out why it was so strange. She randomly chopped a salad and dressed it while it was on the cutting board--just like a Sim. Can't believe I missed that when I watched it. That was the point of it. Trad wives are Sims.

Finishing up my re-read of Disch's The Genocides. So dark but I love that book.

Listening to Lucinda Williams and waltzing around the place.

Saw the AI video of Zombie Lindsey Graham falling out of his casket dressed as ladybug. He then zaps attendees with a Disney wand. Lolol.

Uefa says they have reason to believe that Trump, Joshua Kushner and Infantino hatched a corrupt scheme involving the privatization of Fifa, and they are suing for damages and the ouster of Infantino. They have issued an anti-spoliation letter today demanding preservation of documents..

Def worth it if you can spare the cash.

Everyone acts normal so they don’t set you off again, abuser. We tiptoe around our abusive fathers for this reason.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

senator bernie moreno finally makes a statement about the allegations of abuse by rep. max miller against his daughter and granddaughter after miller went live on X this morning to deny everything.

You know, referring to a culture or society as a decadent isn't something I do, but it is now.

There are simply no words for how fucking cooked we are.

Talk about a mild anxiety dream. I was talking to several people and I realized I hadn't brushed my teeth and I was wondering if they noticed. That's it. My teeth didn't suddenly fall out. No dark presence was lurking.

I endorse this.

People need to start getting disbarred for this shit.

Bugonia is one hell of a ride. Emma Stone is brilliant, as always.

Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.

Man Convicted in Idaho College Killings Seeks to Take Back Guilty Plea

In an interview from prison, Bryan Kohberger said he had filed a petition to reopen the case. He blamed his guilty plea on “false promises” and wrong information.

Yale is signalling a willingness to engage in Lysenkoism and that they will obey a political officer. Shameful.

Jeremy Stahl@jeremystahl.bsky.social · 6d ago

The Trump administration sued Yale for its admissions policies (alleging too much diversity). Yale is negotiating with DOJ, whereas Harvard fought Trump. The former dean of Yale Law School thinks he knows the real reason why. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I put a Spotify code on my rear window. Today, at a red light, I saw someone take a photo of it and proceed to laugh their a** off. This is what the code plays. 🦭

Has anyone out there taken Lyrica for GAD? Reviews?

There is a brand new outbreak in Red Montgomery County, TX. Their spokescreature passed it off at normal, saying there were other outbreaks in the country and "around the world." Oh, I heard your propaganda, mister.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Sigh.

I saw a Jewish person, who works for a Jewish advocacy group, earnestly argue Mamdani not appointing Jews to this panel is a sign of antisemitism, but if he were to appoint Jews, they would be anti-Israel token Jews whose presence would just reinforce his antisemitism. forward.com/news/841697/...

Noticing some chat about the bar exam. I have one question for you. Would you see a doctor who hadn't passed the USMLE? I certainly wouldn't. I'm not going to put my life, freedom, family or property in the hands of someone who cannot take or pass a bar exam, either. And I have severe GAD.

I asked AI to write a letter for me as an experiment last year. It took more time to fix it that it would have just to draft the dang thing. Never again.
