Breaking story: Fox news reporters have reassigned themselves as 'foreign agents' to avoid having to participate in the actors strike.

When I post, feel free to challenge me. I have no doubt I hold ideas that are wrong. I don't know which ideas those are, or I would change my POV. But I know, based on my past, that I am not right all the time. Just be honest, sincere, and logical and we will get alone swimmingly.

@freemo I can see it an easy way to partially fight discrimination by picking minorities, who have a much better likelihood of understanding the issues, a better likelihood of having experienced the problems. We have, never in history, really complained about appointing a slate of white men. This isn't something that should bother us either.

This gets a pass from me.

I mean, do we really need to wait for an AI written, directed, and acted movie??

As far as I know, Michael Swanwick has still not written the screenplay for "Bones of the Earth," but George Clooney has READ the book.

If you know anyone, I think you know what needs to be done.

I lost my wallet. I always put it in one of three places, a hat I rarely wear, on my couch next to a book, or on my desk. It wasn't in any of those places.... so I went nuts looking for it. Turns out it was in plain sight, 4 inches from where it belonged. 4 INCHES. I swear I have zero OCD....

OK, not sure where I first saw the post about truffles, and getting them from the back yard. If that was you, thank you. I have now tried some purchased from Amazon, and I will say that they are incredibly mild in flavor, but definitely add a flavor to food that is undeniably good. A small amount worked as well as a chunk straight to the tongue.

I'm a bit too far south, but expect issues to arise with the electrical grid, communications, etc. Those often accompany solar storms of this magnitude.

I awoke from a very convincing dream this morning, that made me understand God. I mean, I completely understand it. Even after being awake for a moment, getting that 1st bit of coffee, that dream is still dominant in my head and thoughts. I tried to explain my dream to my wife, and she said "if you completely understood me, you would have made me breakfast."

I'm curious, if a 12 year old gets a driver's licence in Kansas (or wherever they have an age that low) could they legally drive anywhere in the USA? How about a resident of a state that doesn't have a minimum age for a scooter, can they drive a scooter anywhere in the US?

Haven't been on the bird app in so log, I actually had to type "twitt" before google knew were I wanted to go. Before that I got suggestions for painting with a twist, tardis exploding, letter from twittler's lawyer, twitch, and a few others. OK. But, first thread is a guy running for office from a state who had their gun laws written by the NRA and signed into law by a republican, saying he wants to protect the 2nd amendment by adding the 28th... No text of the 28th, just a video I was uninterested in watching, and one of the top posts this bit of cold hard fact:

My evening with the wife:

Watching the trans community create strawmen to fight against TYT... I'm sorry, Ana has the absolute right to say her pronouns include 'woman' if she wants to, and not 'birthing person.' If she wants to be offended by that, that is her absolute right, and you don't get to dictate to her that she is a 'birthing person.' And yes, if Mike Tyson goes trans, there is a problem with him getting into a boxing ring with even the best female fighter in history. I don't care how unlikely this may be. I don't care if it is a valid threat. This is something that the ignorant right knows will resonate with their base, and win them elections.

Like last year, and every year before, I am reminded that July 4th is the best time to murder the neighbors.

Unfortunately, I will forget this fact in a few days, and next year will not have made plans.
