Now I want to read a 1000 year old diary.

"'Fitbit' appears to be a common dog name, like "Fido" or "Rex" in earlier generations."

erikarachelstone.bsky.social•34 days ago

Lol. This is literally my journal right now. 😂🤣

questauthority.bsky.social•34 days ago

Addendum:
While I was walking, Trump ordered - in cruelest and most toxic language possible - the military to change rules to force transgender troops out. Also Trump says that US military, which has many bases in California, "entered" California and turned on water. Nobody knows what that means.

2015 you: "GTFO with this never-happen-in-a-bazillion-years shit"

Me, whose godfather was 2nd in command at Vandenberg for several years:

Entered? What, like dug a tunnel and found Old California hidden in a big cavern?

mstevens86.bsky.social•34 days ago

They've got some poor kid with some low rank standing out there baling water out of a stream and tossing it to the south with a spork.

mstevens86.bsky.social•34 days ago

The stream already vaguely runs south-ish.

Apparently 4 pumps that were down for maintenance checks are now on. Ask Wax.

Also -
The milk tea kitkats I brought home from Japan are amazing.

mstevens86.bsky.social•34 days ago

I do need to check our new H Mart for what neat Kit-Kats and other such things they might be stocking. I've always seen a nice variety on online shops but haven't been able to justify the shipping or other costs.

kerovon.bsky.social•34 days ago

I was at a hmart about a week ago, and they had matcha, milk tea, and apple pie kit kats.

mstevens86.bsky.social•34 days ago

Oh, apple pie sounds superb. Not sure matcha would be up my alley (but my youngest would be down). I'd try milk tea but think that would be more for the rest of the family.

My partner had seen some manner of lemon variety somewhere but couldn't get ahold of, and I would love to try that too

(For clarity, that last bit was also part of the diary entry.)

In all seriousness:
This is a lot of a lot. Which is part of the point of shock and awe - to not give anyone a breather.

rincewind.run•34 days ago

me: you are going to have to avoid running yourself ragged and take a breath and not let yourself get burned out and panicked by everything they're throwing out

also me: AAAAAAAAAAAA

questauthority.bsky.social•34 days ago

In addition to getting my blog up and implementing a rolling delete on my account here in the next couple weeks, I'm going to start rationing myself to no more than 2-3 blocks of social media time per day.

rincewind.run•34 days ago

yeaaaaah

I was doing better with that until the impoundment fiasco tonight and now I'm trying to figure out how to turn my brain off so I can get to sleep

it's not going great

spsnomad.bsky.social•34 days ago

Eternally glad that I found a place in Chicago that usually has a few of the Japanese flavors in stock.

(It's Park To Shop in Uptown if anyone has been looking.)

rszasz.bsky.social•34 days ago

So the "troops entered California to turn the water on" was just 3 aquaduct pumps that were offline for a couple days for routine maintenance had their maintenance finish.

onedimental.bsky.social•34 days ago

We all know this didn't happen because as much as he is in love with pissing on the Constitution, we have had no reports of those troops being quartered in civilian houses against the owners' wishes.

juliemfaenza.bsky.social•34 days ago

Paging @wolmanj.bsky.social can you confirm

wolmanj.bsky.social•34 days ago

We have not yet heard any reports of quartering without consent in the circumstance. However, we are eternally vigilant.

izzos.us•34 days ago

So you're saying they DIDN'T commandeer the "Jewish Space Faucet" or something?

lawzag.bsky.social•34 days ago

If I remember right, Czar Nicholas II’s diary entry for the February Revolution was focused his unsuccessful game bird hunting that day.

esswrites.bsky.social•34 days ago

Note to self: Fitbit is a great name for a dog.

joebirdwell.bsky.social•34 days ago

This was recorded on a cassette for them to find and play while touring the wasteland right? What format are we choosing to go with? i want to pick the right one.
