At this point I have to repeat it daily. I'm old enough to remember fearing the Soviet Union. One of the biggest baddies was Ukraine because they were the brain. Russia forgot this and now they have a nation full of highly motivated eggheads looking to do some damage. If Russian satellite orbits suddenly and catastrophically start to degrade, I wouldn't be surprised.

I drive the I-10/12 stretch between Austin and Orlando at least four times per year and I used to drive between Austin and the French Quarter in the early 2010's all the time because I had a place in the quarter. I have not seen bugs like I did in the 90's since around 2010.

I lived in Louisiana in the 90's. If you didn't add a mesh (think window screen) to your car grill before driving on the highway, your radiator grill would clog with bugs and you'd overheat.

MAGA: If you can't take care of your children, you shouldn't have children.

Women of color: Ok, so can I get proper child care assistance and a living wage?

MAGA: NO!!!!!! If you can't take care of your children, you shouldn't have children.

Women of color: OK. So can I get an abortion?

MAGA: NO!!!! Abortion is murder!

Women of color: OK. How about family planning services and birth control?

MAGA: NO!!!!!! Planned Parenthood are murderers!!!!!!!!

Women of color: OK. So will you adopt the baby once I give birth?

MAGA: Oh wow, will you look at the time. I'm late for... something. Bye!

my alt account be like...

I can see many use cases. Here's one.

Imagine Joe.

Joe makes well over $250k/year doing furry porn livestreams. Nobody knows Joe's face but they are intimately familiar with his penis and anal sphincter.

Joe doesn't want to explain to his friends and family what he does for a living.

Joe deepfakes himself a career.

His deeply conservative parents are very proud of Joe.

The consequences of wear and tear on the body. If I'm conscious, something hurts.

Lindsey Graham is a pus riddled sore. Why does cancer harm the innocent when there is righteous work to be done?

As a Gen-Xer who remembers living in fear of the Soviet Union killing us all, I clearly remember Ukraine being the big baddie. That's where the brains and the tech of the Soviets came from. It seems that Putin forgot that crucial fact.

The 2020's are literally the Cyberpunk future authors warned us about.

Having weed, in Texas, when it was a big deal.

Homie's body wash.

Hilarious. You can literally see the reflection of your phone taking the picture in the cat's eye.

I'm like Start Trek: The Next Generation and started hitting my stride in Season 3. I just hope I don't get cancelled before my time in Season 7.

"It's important to remember that it's not zero-sum. We can care about the well-being of women and girls and also acknowledge that young men are struggling, too. Those don't have to be at odds."

I'd like to revisit building a PiBoy. Was gonna do it. Never did. Any build guides with shopping lists and software lists that you would recommend?

I think what we've got here is comedic reference inception. Must...go...deeper!!!
