I think my new headcanon is that Andor takes place in the real star wars universe and the star wars movies are movies within that universe which turned actual, awful events into fictional entertainment

I feel so very good about my tax dollars paying people to check for poop in my food. Honestly, 10/10 on tax dollar use.

I also draw the line at using gen AI+. It’s why I ended up overseas, the US jobs I was being offered at the end of 2021/beginning of 2022 were all web3 and NFT-based at the time. They have all gone under or been cancelled. We hold our lines and integrity. Some companies will find out the hard way.

Finally understanding what "race is a social construct" meant led to same realization for gender. One doesn't *think* they're a man or a woman (or NB), they *are*. I've long believed everyone should be who they are, & the best they can be at it. "Getting" this therefore dovetailed right into that.

Some Senior VP at Target: Sir we thought The Blacks (TM) would let this go and come back but they haven't come back. They haven't come back sir! CFO: The line must go up, but it keeps going down! CEO, wearily removing glasses: It's time SVP: Sir, you don't mean-- CEO: Get me Al Sharpton

USPS Informed Delivery emails me a daily digest with images of the mail expected that day, and tracks packages in transit. So it's always exciting to see that there's a package coming our way while neither my wife nor I know of anything we're awaiting delivery of!

I had Ralph Stanley's a cappella rendition of "O Death" running through my head today--not for any particular reason. And I had a prompt for a drabble. So I now have a drabble.

Cast iron cover redux: Went looking...found only some barbed wire & a chain link. But posted some photos in the--where else--CastIron subreddit & someone IDed the manufacturer! W.C. Davis & Co., operating from 1848-1881, so 140+ years old. Dunno when it broke and was tossed it in the gully.

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them. Also? These messages are effing hilarious.
