Once upon a time in Holland, one guy fucked up everybody else's retirement plans so badly that they ate him. I've been to Holland. Its lovely. I'm not saying that's the reason, but its something I wonder about.

The Trump administration has placed me on a list of "media offenders" and is now targeting me for constitutionally protected media work. This is no longer theoretically something that will happen in the future.

The fundamental underlying problem in Maine is multiple younger-than-Mills normie libs deciding to run redundant longshot-at-best campaigns for governor because they were too chickenshit to challenge Collins in what is going to be something like a D +10 context

One thing I really don't like is the idea of ticket splitting. Because it is the entire Republican Party that is dragging us back. And we need to vote against it even if Democrats pick candidates we don't like (which isn't as often now).

When it happens, I'm going to play dumb online and pretend I'm a conspiracy nut who doesn't believe it's true, just to get strangers to repeat the news to me emphatically and in a variety of ways. you've been warned.

I’ve seen an increase in voter suppression agitprop accounts making posts that have mostly positive comments and commenting turned off, so no one can argue with them. It’s your patriotic duty to block these operators on sight.

Whoa, let’s not go trashing actual bookstores. Go ahead and tell them you will not buy anything written by AI, but don’t go canceling them because you don’t like some of the books they sell, because I guarantee you that every single one of us don’t like some books you’d find in ANY bookstore.

I do not want to rate your software. Yes, I use it every day. If that is going well, then it is almost invisible to me. I give it no thought. If I feel strongly enough about business software to rate it, you would rather if I did not.

Remember, Trump never does anything out of loyalty or gratitude. He’s paying his coup accomplices $1.8 billion of your money because he wants people to be ready to abet the next coup attempt.

This is.. .literally the first time i've seen another human mention this book. Heh. It's good to know i didn't hallucinate it.

I like Bernthal’s Punisher, but sadly, he’s only in the movie for about 10 minutes. Then the character is nominally still on the screen with his face. But it is as though the actor has been removed. I assume it’s still him but may as well not be. If the movie improves I did not make it that far.

You’re a sales rep working from home for a professional software company. Your product starts around $6000 annually. Could you perhaps find a spot to work from and a camera angle that does not have a bed in the background? Probably a guest room, sure, but put in the effort, please.

My unpopular opinion is that phone calls and text messages should cost money. A nominal cost per call or text low enough to not be be a barrier to normal use, but high enough to make spam economically unviable. If I had a nickel for every spam call or text I get in a day…
