Update: I mount my smoke alarms on the ceiling with magnets. I have a guitar in my bedroom. I have just beaten the smoke alarm off the ceiling with guitar, and removed the battery. Should I die slumbering through a fire before 10 am, it'll look like a failed musician's suicide.

I have lifelong, unrelenting insomnia. My best sleep is between 4am and 7am. The degree to which I have murderously anthropomorphized this FUCKING "now is a great time to replace my battery" chirping smoke alarm is surprising, even to me.

When Elon Musk says "failure to respond will be taken as resignation", I think he's talking about his dating life, where women just give up and fuck him to get it over with.

President Krasnov is full on fucked-in-the-head. #IMPEACHTRUMP

I realize Pope Francis doesn't hate gays, doesn't hate Jews, doesn't hate immigrants, doesn't preach the "Gospel of Prosperity", and doesn't tell you that if you don't donate to his ministry, then Satan wins, but if all you've got is shit-talking him, go fuck yourself, k?

I have very complicated work machine setup - 2PCs 5 monitors. Win 11 does NOT retain the monitor IDs when I reboot, so RDP is a fucking nightmare to get right again. I'm shutting everything down to make some changes, so basically if you don't hear from me again, look in the obits.

Painting a silver lining dept: I put a hepa filter in my bedroom, thinking it might help with the stuffy nose issue. Good news: I don't need a white noise Sound Machine anymore!

Divorce is complicated; when you read about one, you find youself taking sides; but you also know you don't have the whole story. That's what makes the Bezos divorce so different: In the aftermath,it's crystal clear: Mackenzie Bezos is a Good Person, and Jeff is a Piece of Shit.

Imagine you're tasked with lowering Fed cost for Medicare. BUT: you can't kick recipients off, and you can't lower payouts to docs. Most effective would be to devise better ways for recipients to die sooner. All of a sudden, Musk/Trump cuts are understandable. #IMPEACHTRUMP

No matter how shitty you thought Trump was, turns out he's even shittier. No matter how petty you thought Trump was, turns out he's even pettier. No matter how incompetent you thought Trump was, turns he's even more. Unless your lips are glued to his ass, he WILL fuck you over.

Oh, ffs sake. Yes. Immediately, if not sooner. We have only - let me check - right, we have only 5 fucking billion years left.

As the saying goes: "Scum of a feather stick flock together." Christ, what an utter scumbag Trump is. Speaker Mike Johnson must swell with pride over this kind of Christian Goodness.

Well...Musk IS a fucking liar, so this isn't altogether surprising, is it? #STOPMUSK

The Musk/Trump Administration has decided Medicare will no longer cover Telehealth visits, as of 4/1/25. Why? Because Fuck You, that's why. When will you get it through your heads that Musk/Trump have nothing but contempt for you, and would be happiest if you just stopped living.

If Elon Musk had $50 instead of $500B, he'd be parking cars and forgetting where he put them for a living. And still be offering his sperm to whoever would take it.

When the post mortem of the United States is written, an objective eye will rank the person most responsible for our slide from pinnacle to pit. Not Donald Trump. Not Elon Musk. It'll be Mitch McConnell: corrosive, destructive, relentless, and, unfortunately, effective.

Gonna have to wait for the weekend - too much of that stupid "work" thing I do.
