I seem to have acquired a large amount of begging and beggars on my feed. Anyone else? I am empathetic, but don’t have spare anything right now due to this admin. I also don’t know if they are truly who they claim to be.

In the 80’s, we said that “if his lips were moving, he was lying,” about a certain President. I believe we should make a new precedent: “if he is breathing, he is lying.”

When I went to vote yesterday, there was an entire church group there to help people. The door was opened for me, I was thanked multiple times for voting, and felt extremely welcome. Not a ne’er-do-well in sight!

Hello GA! I voted;). #ossoff

Timeline cleanse: an amazing story of an altruistic bear. Empathy + Action = A Better World

I am watching Jack Smith’s testimony online and every couple of minutes, a fried chicken commercial plays. I don’t know whether to roll my eyes or laugh heartily.

I found something truly wonderful today. #playingforachange

Tonight, I heard three men complaining about DEI hires. Upon paying my bill for dinner, I stopped by their table and told them, “This DEI hire has a dual Masters.” I heard them choking on their food as I walked off.

So… an arch that is so tall it will disrupt air traffic… and now, it will have missiles and drones? Talk about air traffic control issues! Someone is feeling a bit insecure. Maybe he needs a low T test from Kegsbreath!

I am watching a show in Mandarin. Would you believe that I just saw a scene on a ski slope with the female lead wearing a pussy cap? I kid you not!

My cat is snoring on my desk. I want to join her in a nap… but the desk would be a bit uncomfortable for me…

Someone I know didn’t understand why a relative blocked her online. I asked what happened. She said, “I posted something Republican.” I said, “You mean something MAGA?” She said, “Well… yes.” My reply? “I think I understand why you were blocked.” Her response: “Oh.” And to believe she’s my sister!

I have to admit that they are quite creative and I enjoy the videos.

Musk crawled out of wherever he was & has his shady fingers all over our elections again, & he's also grabbing more of ppl's info "[His website Vote Safe claims to provide users w info] they need to “vote with confidence.” But all the while, the site is secretly collecting information of its own"

Even if you aren’t aware of any such agreements missing from the State Department’s site, you can still help out by RT’ing this piece…or share it in relevant Reddit subs, email listservs, etc. Tysm 🙏

Congress made it a federal crime in 1865 to bring armed federal agents to a polling place. In this video I break down the law and the four sentences to say when an agent stands between you and your ballot.

post 2 i can’t even with this. public libraries are facing political interference, harassment, book bans and funding threats. when libraries become censorship battlegrounds, what exactly are we protecting? [story](pen.org/report/out-o...)

I was raised thinking that the Republicans wanted less government interference…

I think all airports should be named after deceased people who are being honored. Example: Dolly Parton Airport. NOT Donald J Trump Airport.

How does one cite AI in a paper? Something to ponder AND avoid as a reference…

Redoing prior post: using AI to write a book is NOT writing a book!

It is interesting hearing people’s takes about belief systems that they have no clue about. Last night, I learned that one of the ones that I am intimately familiar with is one that “worships the devil”. The speaker couldn’t be more wrong.

As a trained infosec and risk person… it makes me cringe when I hear that the “hacks on water systems are the fault of the states where the hacks happened.” NO. Getting rid of our core Cyber protections helped.The hacking tests started on water systems over a decade and a half ago. Iran is in top 4

Odd statement made about me, by a coworker, at work today: “You Learn TOO FAST”. The engineer who told me this had been learning the system for a YEAR with constant mistakes before he figured it out. He said that I make far fewer mistakes than he did… I am at month 4…

Last night, I was up reading @altonbrown.bsky.social Brown’s “Food for Thought” There is a chapter in there about an incident at a bakery that had me in stitches. I was howling in laughter. Only thing is that the dumpster that I was imagining was, in fact, a #CYBERTRUCK. Made it even funnier…

You know the economy is tight when you watch a lady hand over her Walmart purchases to-the chauffeur of her stretch limo.

Best bumper sticker of the day…

I think someone ate my coffee almond fudge ice cream, because when I opened the freezer, I found chocolate peanut butter on the shelf… NOT what I bought… hmmm. Sibling?

Thank Gd for Cruise control! I have a long drive tomorrow with a broken toe on my right foot.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that it is a BAD idea to congregate a large number of our Naval ships together in Pearl Harbor? History seems to be a tough subject for the Kegman

Thanks to the new folks following me.

I once dated a guy named Kermit. Other kids asked if he was a frog. His Father started calling him Ponch when they lived in South America. He came back to the USA, and CHiPS was the hip tv show. The kids in his school started asking him if he was a cop. He decided it was easier being Green.

I once dated a guy who told me, a bibliophile, that I had way too many books for my condo. I stopped dating him immediately. I now have a house and books in EVERY room!

I think you mean HIPAA

“When’s the last time you were in a grocery store?” 👀 🔥 Senator Hassan grills pathologically out-of-touch rich guy treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about Trump pursuing taxpayer-funded vanity projects while ignoring the struggles of regular Americans.

Indivisible in my area is pushing us to support a candidate that gives me icky feels.

I might be slow, but I was yesterday years old when I realized that the number (47) on the Heinz ketchup bottle (that you whack to get the ketchup moving) matched the number of the Presidency. Is that why he has such a propensity for throwing it when angry?

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
