Since 2016, Ive been carefully curating all of my Pandora stations and playlists. Having just received an email indicating they will start charging $2 more a month, and the fact that Pandora TV is on in the background, and SKIPPING, I am cancelling the service. Ive had enough of renting things.

If anyone in the Ukraine is listening... high-speed internet can be connected to high-altitude balloons operating in the stratosphere on the cheap. High-speed internet signal beamed up from a ground station to a balloon, which absolutely could relay the signal across most of western Russia...

Nearly every single package we've shipped using USPS First Class International has been returned to us in the last four months. No explanation from the post office, no reason otherwise. USPS is now turned off. UPS and DHL were turned on as options guess what. Stuff is getting delivered...🧵

While we had those options on, it's always been a less expensive shipping option. However, it could take weeks, months on occasion, as long as 6 months once. Now this. Packages sitting in Miami for months then getting shipped back. So yeah, it's gonna be a bit more but at least we'll get it to you.

The angel Annabelle. One of the very few dogs I've known that doesn't look away when you look at each other. She looks right back into your eyes. Scruff muffin here getting a bath this morning. Look at that face! "I eat with reckless abandon. I do indeed..." She's a Miniature Schnauzer.

A bare bones electric roadster model that looks like the one on the left for $35k or this one on the right priced at $130,0000? Id have stood in line for a week for the one on the left. Prediction here. Anyone? Beuller? 104 years of gorgeous cars... Jag is dead. They just don't know it yet.

Be advised, most homes already have a built in water storage tank called a Water Heater. If a boil water thing happens, turn the intake valve to OFF. Flush out the hose bib at the bottom of the tank, which you should do at least twice a year anyway, and get your potable water there. #HURRICANE

I feel like my phone number is just out there for any and all fundraising texts. 27 today. TWENTY FUCKING SEVEN. This is beyond ridiculous. Its sapping time from my day. Replying STOP seems to do nothing, blocking, it just comes from another number and Spam Protection is useless.

We had a pretty good obituary today. Not the right one, but Ill take it. The expression, "don't speak ill of the dead." Yeah, this dead, bible thumping piece of plague tinged rat excrement deserves eternal consciousness with quark-gluon plasma fervently scorching his every molecule.

Watching Bob Ross doing an hour long instructional and he's applying liquid white for "wet on wet by doing these long and hard horizontal and vertical strokes..." He turns to the camera, winks, and with a big, rambunctious grin he says, "That's up and down..." My god I really miss Bob Ross.

Real "men" don't rape a woman who has passed out from too many drinks, and invite their friends over to participate. Real Men would make sure any person who has had too much to drink is completely safe. Period.

I have an idea, how about get rid of your police, who suck $186,000,000 million a year. 40% of the city's total operating budget. Most of the "crime" in that city is burglary. Less than 13% of which are "solved." That's 186 million for 635 prosecutions. www.wusf.org/environment/...

This was amongst the very first toys I sculpted back in 2017. The original was shaped using Apoxie two part sculpting resin. It makes its first appearance on the Uberrime Insta account in early 2018. Just a few years ago I swapped the base with our 3d printed "puck" with the brand logo in it.

In 1998 just before my kid was born, I was working in Keystone Colorado as a chef for Vail Resorts. One of the culinary students asked if he could borrow my brand new Tool Ænima record, which I never got it back. Looking around now, that record goes for more than $2000 now. Prick...

Standing in the exceptionally long line to get into the Ozzy house at HHN, I had a thought about a scifi movie plot, a Dust style short. Billionaires have been secretly developing a method to make themselves immortal by editing their genetics. Alterations that take 100 years to switch fully on🧵

... a coordinated effort to seize control of the planet. Their plot, which had been immediately observed and actually predicted by some, was deemed a grave threat to society as a whole. All 10,000 were detained and assigned into productive incarceration, permanently. Youthful cultural language🧵

... High standards of education, clean air, water, food, health care are considered human rights. The concept of money and wealth no longer applies in society.
