fair weather fan or just needed to pick up a check

At least I made a really nice dinner tonight.

I’m not reading any tea leaves but early vote in on pace to exceed the 2022 early vote of ~260,000 in Hillsborough County FL

Any other attack ads on Dems this cycle linking a candidate to Nancy Pelosi or do Rs only think that will work in Tampa?

Looking for a car safety harness for Nico, I found this picture of a dog crash test dummy. This dog must be protected at all costs.

You can’t end a World Series game on a call like that. It’s embarrassing

Smoltz has done it. I miss Tim McCarver

Vòt bonè deja kòmanse. Vote pou Angie Nixon pou Sena Etazini nan Florid. Yon vòt pou Angie, se yon vòt pou lavi miyò, pou konbat koripsyon, e k'ap pote bon rezilta pou kominote nou a. Pa tann dènye minit. Al vote kounye a!

Feeling like a god damn genius for shutting down my last VPS running php a couple of months ago.

The tide gauge at Virginia Key (Miami) already exceeded the minor flood threshold today. We're still a week away from the peak water levels... this is going to get very bad.

I have only a vague recollection of signing up for this but when the first issue showed up in my inbox I’m glad i did. The Federalist Papers as they were published. Brutus I was published Saturday, the Papers start next week. https://federalistreader.org/antifederalist/brutus-1/

We're aware of a phishing attack that has compromised more than 4,500 accounts. The attack spread through posts promoting a fake offer of a government payment. We have temporarily suspended the compromised accounts and are working with their owners to secure them and restore access.

I haven’t seen anyone mention it, but I enjoyed the Netflix “East of Eden” series, particularly through the lens that the director, Zoe Kazan, is the granddaughter of Elia Kazan, who directed James Dean in the original film adaptation.

Whale-balls for breakfast—don’t forget.
