“If the pardon happens, I am concerned that people who agree with the pardon and with what Perry has done will end up following him thinking they’ll get a pardon too.”

I'm a big fan of SpaceX. Not the dude.

And you know I post alot about "hubris"

It's all right here.

This is what "hubris" gets you. This is the Spacex launchpad.

".....a sustainable launch pad may be the bottleneck for Starship’s success. SpaceX will have to consider what changes must be made before next launch. Perhaps flame diverter or stronger water deluge."

He famously said in 2020 they wouldn't need one.

The punishment for any minor mistake is discretionary instant death sentence if you're Black, and White Liberals are held to the letter of the law, but Nazis can get out of anything with an apology, or if it's really serious, a demotion or maybe losing their job. Maybe.

North Carolina Republicans introduced a bill to ban participation trophies for children

Republicans, realizing Anheuser-Busch is a significant donor, are quietly reversing their position on Bud Light https://boingboing.net/2023/04/15/republicans-realizing-anheuser-busch-is-a-significant-donor-are-quietly-reversing-their-position-on-bud-light.html

America already beat you to it you pompous ass.

If you thinking about creating a Substack, don’t. They have shady content moderation as mentioned in my last toot.

The best alternative is to use Wordpress. It’s open source and you own your content, not the platform. You can easily start a newsletter using the email subscriber feature in Jetpack or a Newsletter plugin. Wordpress.com can do the same, for free, although you need to pay for extra features like storage.

I do not suffer from “imposter” syndrome and I’m tired of every women focused program being about that or coaching me to be better at X. I just need the opportunity to actually get to do X. I need a door opened, hell, left unlocked, versus a lecture on how to walk through that door if it ever were to open.

Wait, NPR isn’t legally obligated to post on Twitter? Wait until other news organizations get wind of that!

Sure would be a good time for @NPR to start posting again 🤷🏾‍♂️

Two years ago today, I was at Trump Doral paying thousands of dollars to go to a Dr. Seuss themed party and watch some guy paint Rush Limbaugh while complaining that everyone New York is always literally pissing on the American flag.
