Oh god this made me laugh so hard. Watch til the end.
Loved this book!
My car crossed a milestone on π day. Bit of a nerdy conjunction.
There's a Trans Rights Readathon??
Well, I'm pretty privileged and don't need to make everything about me, but, uh, if you just happen to be looking for a nonbinary author of middle grade novels, I do just happen to fit that bill!
It often feels like people forget that about me.
It’s too on the nose that they’re using Palantir for their his sort of evil.
Damn, missed my chance to find out in 22.
(Miami Vice was filmed in Miami, but they'd claim to be in parts of South Florida they *clearly* were not in.)
I used to catch this kind of goof in Miami Vice all the time. It's a little surprising that some things never change.
L's watching CSI: Miami, and in the closing shot, a couple of detectives are at the beach, watching the sunset over the water.

If you've ever wondered how Hitler could have invaded Russia, now you know.
Republicans are the party of Christian values. Republicans are the party of people who value our supposed founding principals, like democracy, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.
More lies that need to be countered when we see them.

We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.
Without losing sight of the fact that this is an illegal war, it really needs to be emphasized (particularly when looking at multiple disasters now) that it comes only after hegseth and trump spent the better part of a year weakening us militarily due to their aversion to diversity.

Yep! I'd be off for a writing retreat there. Just not for convincing myself I could weather a nuclear war and be okay.
(I don't judge anybody who decides to put it to ironic use, however.)
Ah, this one.
I low key despise the people who built stuff like this. Imagine thinking that you will ride out the end of the world *in luxury*. Imagine thinking that's even *possible*. Imagine being that stupid.
Don't imagine it for too long, though. Just in case it's contagious.

The wealthy farmers that live in the rural part of the White MAGA slum where I reside, have no problem with public handouts for maintaining a county blacktop stretching to their palatial house/ machine shed. If some black kid gets a scholarship to a public college, that’s considered DEI welfare.
