It’s adorable the way people ring my doorbell as if I am actually going to open the door.

"The charges against McGonigal alarmed his former colleagues in part because of his depth of knowledge of so many elements of U.S. espionage. McGonigal was an expert on Russian intelligence activities targeting the United States."

Why be a conspiracy theorist when all the really disturbing shit is right there in the newspaper

Thought I got in on the ground floor. Turns out I’m just short.

Nice review from the AP while we’re at it. https://apnews.com/article/book-reviews-78c74652abf3edc75460d51155e4b2ce

“Even a mild case of #COVID19 can increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular problems for at least a year after diagnosis, a new study shows. Researchers found that rates of many conditions, such as heart failure & stroke, were substantially higher in people who had recovered from COVID than in similar people who hadn’t had the disease. What’s more, the risk was elevated even for those who were under 65 years of age and lacked risk factors, such as obesity or diabetes.” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00403-0

‘It Sounds Human’: Audiophiles Are Re-Embracing the Lush Sounds of Old-School Tube Amps

@flexghost right?! Which is why she’s so quiet. She learned the hard way the extent of corruption in our government and knows first hand there’s no justice here.

It makes my blood boil that Reality Winner told us about Russian Collusion and was imprisoned by the biggest traitor in American history. Especially now as we learn of all the traitors in our government working for Russia.

House Intelligence Cmte. chair: “There are election deniers on both sides of the aisle.”

There really aren’t. Election denialism is a problem, but it’s not a bipartisan problem.

If you need anything please don’t hesitate to never contact me.

@atomicpoet DeNazi is running roughshod over the constitutional protections because he's facing no consequences. In a recent 1A ruling he just ignored it and judge said he can't do anything to compel him. Which makes our legal system toothless if it cannot be enforced. He trafficked humans and NOTHING is happening to him it seems. So that's yet another thing. Consequences exist to keep bad people in check.

Folks are treating the recent tech layoffs as something spontaneous. They were not. The current layoffs were orchestrated by a hedge fund (TCI Fund).

This hedge fund demanded that the big tech companies lay people off because they were being paid too much. Let that one sink in: a hedge fund manager saying that you're being paid too much.

Note that TCI is demanding that Google lay off more people.

I’m not sure how many cups of coffee it takes to be happy. So far it’s not twelve.
