The Crewe of the Fancy

The last time I was in DC it was 2019. The areas around government buildings are the parts that I found chaotic and disorganized. A tiny Chinese restaurant hidden in the residential part of DC, now that is awesome. I'd rather DC without the whiny orange dingleberry.

Our hearts are broken for David Rose’s wife, 2 kids and his baby on the way. He was only 33 and died protecting CDC and ATL.

We don’t have words to do justice to his sacrifice right now. We are looking for ways to support the family. 💔

What is being called AI is not actually AI. I would love a real AI assistant, I'd probably trash talk it, but would love it because the opportunities for that level of tech have very awesome potential for researchers. What we have now is basically a chat bot on meth.

Saw an EMT walking out of the grocery store today while I was with my daughter, same hair, same Navy BDU pants and I swore I saw mine. Inara and I saw a Firefighter funeral yesterday and I remarked that when my time comes her and Killian get the folded flag too.

@bizhiwojibwe.bsky.social I have a question, if you had to live 5 minutes of your life on repeat for all eternity, what five minutes would it be? Can be parts of several.

Side note she was once overweight to where the dog (a pit mix) was underweight.

The Void sitting on an antique desk next to an ink well and a punched tin lantern yelling at me.

For international cat day, I pick the Void. (Not her real name) We were supposed to take care of her for 2 months till her old owners got a new place. Well...it's been 6 years. Turned out she has FIV, she hated men until my son and I. This is her yelling at me.

David Lynch directed mine. Weirdness, not boring, but confusing, and it hops around.

This was the era where the Lost Cause rhetoric and the Confederate Statues started showing up. Also Italians were getting lynched. Not sure why that part of my heritage thinks they are somehow safe. We were the ones first labeled as terrorists...and then gangsters.

Parts, not all.

Related to my earlier post, a very Autistic kid (20) working at the local grocery store noticed my spark plug shirt. He got excited and started asking questions. I went back and talked more. Dude is afraid of cars for all the reasons I was. Gave him my info.

They pulled it with my wife thinking I needed the "help." I got arrested and it turned out she had a stroke. No amount of calls or emails would stop them.

Luckily everyone survived. My grandmother got him out of his nest. Point is, if you support someone who hurts women and children or animals, you ain't a "redneck" you're a stool sample and I wish this man was still alive to explain it. /End

JD Vance likes to talk that he's Appalachian. This man once sat on a hill with a freaking sniper rifle because he misunderstood my dad was having a mental health problem and my mom needed him to hit her so she could 302 him. (Welcome to the 90s) He didn't want my mom getting hurt. 3/

He and my grandfather got me interested in history. He is the person who got me interested in cars. He also used to rescue and rehab animals, even though he hunted. He got to the point he stopped hunting and just did rehab. I will always count him as a dad to me. 2/

Ca. 1987, yours truly as a baby is held by a bearded man with a 1903 Colt on his belt. He stunk of kerosene and Gunpowder.

This man once gave me a talk about racism. He was a Korean War vet. He was the scariest, most redneck member of my family and he had fought people over it. He was my great uncle, he always treated my mom and I as his own. And he instilled in us not to judge people till they give you reason. 1/

Before I realized I had dyscalcula and my ears don't pop right for military air stuff, I was a space nerd because of that man. Apollo 13 hit at the right time I had all the patches, the models, I begged my mom and grandparents for every book and magazine, I built rovers for school. Rest easy.

Astronaut Jim Lovell, famed Apollo 13 commander, dies at 97 Lovell was also the first astronaut to go to space four times and part of the Apollo 8 crew, the first to launch on the Saturn V rocket and first to orbit the moon.

He didn't get to the moon but he got his crew home, and that was the more remarkable task.

Wait...he's flying from Charlotte to Knoxville? Did he lose his license in a DUI or something? I've done that drive and more, that's nothing. Is this some weird flex I am unaware of?

No clue who he is, but that just made me hide him on YouTube.

My son and I recently got Jurassic Park Hawaiian shirts and I will fight anyone who wants to take that away from us. Also I 100% forgot the Hawaiian shirt thing until just now. If it is Fascist to wear a Hawaiian shirt, then I'm stripping some Fascists.

As somebody who did time...Pedos don't get much time and often get less time than people who didn't hurt anyone. So no, I'd rather he and the rest would get proper time.

Honestly, my life has been really not cool since at least 2011. And it keeps getting weirder. Early 2024 I went to jail because my wife had a stroke. I took a plea to get out because I was worried...do you think anyone answered her calls or emails? Nope. I apparently attacked the state...

BlueSky- AI isn't cool

Also BlueSky- Let's see how bad it messes up the Presidents no matter how much water it costs.

Come on people, stop giving those morons traffic.

Back Senior Year of high school in 2005 in PA, a bunch of us managed to terrify some rally attendees into canceling, I miss when those POS's didn't have a safety net.

I almost failed my driving test because I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting a squirrel. I told the tester why my decision was unsafe, but that in that moment we were safe and she laughed and let it go. Keep in mind, I was out of the Army by that point. My point, Kristi Noem is gross.

"It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."

That said, has a Flex Fuel badge, but the wrong Vin code, but went through 2 departments and 2 civilians before me.

If you ever want to see the biggest group of undiagnosed neurodivergent folks...get into car culture. No Kevin, getting hyperfixated on PT Cruisers to the point you can rattle off every MOPAR part number is not a neurotypical trait.

I took a picture of the first Crown Victoria I ever rode in.

I was impressed at the handling and the comfort. I remember making small talk about what car I wanted...listen sometimes you just have to make the best out of a bad situation.

If it ever goes up for sale, I am getting it for the memes.

If you are thinking about what equipment is in your buddy's pants, you have no business being in the military. Only time that should ever come up is if said buddy had an interesting adventure the night before and is asking for guidance.
