Elon Musk's X begins its push into financial services with Visa deal Visa will enable X users to move funds between traditional bank accounts and their digital wallet and make instant peer-to-peer payments, like Zelle or Venmo.

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

I’m not a coffee person, but I think this coffee maker is a little judgey.

Pasadena Unified reels with school relocation options after Eaton Fire Pasadena Unified School District is hoping to relocate some students after their campuses were burned during the Eaton Fire. Rachel Kim reports.

PUSD is using our children as pawns in their political game to close charters.

There were 5 PUSD campuses burned, three of them were charters, one was empty. There are 5 charters TOTAL in PUSD.

We are PUBLIC schools. Aveson is a non profit. We are not the problem, but we're an easy target.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Bombshell Big Barda from DC comics is a tall powerful woman with dark hair and a blue and gold outfit. She is a superhuman and is using her strength to wield a Nazi like a club to beat a bunch of other Nazis. She says, “These are the consequences of your vile attempts at world domination, you pigs!”

This is Bombshell Big Barda beating Nazis with other Nazis. It is my favorite anti-Nazi art because 1) Barda is a badass, and 2) DC based this Barda design on my original cosplay. So in my head-canon, it’s me beating Nazis with other Nazis. 💀

I'm glad they rethought their original idea for a third movie, PADDINGTON IN PURGATORY.

Here’s a screencap of Tidal.
If you have other music recommendations, please feel free to share.

Capitalists understand money. Spend your money where you think it does some good. Take your money away from things that harm others.
Easier said than done, right?
There’s are music apps you can use that aren’t Spotify or Apple.
Have you heard of Tidal? I recommend Tidal.

Waking up to see the fires are getting more and more contained is so nice. I can just enjoy morning brain fog like a normal person, instead of Fire Panic Anxiety Brain.

Never you fear, Government Anxiety Brain is locked and loaded.

I’ll take the blue skies wherever I can get them-lately they’ve been very smokey over here.

This is exactly how my dad spells his name.

Oh what’s that? Yes, that is extreme terror crawling up my into my body all over again.

I love seeing everyone share their screenshots from WatchDuty and saying, “I am the blue dot.”

You’d think, that after being on this planet for quite some time. I’d no longer have a drinking problem. But no.
I need more napkins

When I retire, I'm going to open a place called Chekhov's Gun Shop. It will be firearms and writing classes. No one can stop me.

I have spent the past month off of all social media.
I came back to check in and post about my parents’ wedding anniversary for my dad.
I missed the fun stuff: my friends, pet vids, webcomics, but I didn’t miss the depressing world. I’m not sure one can exist without the other.
Humbug.

Oh no. Nooooooo.

I’m hoping the new and improved Covid vaccine gives me the 5G wifi I was promised these past two years.

The sound of a cat snoring is rather delightful.

I need chocolate. It would require me to get up and go hunt it down.
I don’t know if I need chocolate that badly.

I think you have. At the very least, take a nap.

I can’t help but wonder how many cases of trench foot will come out of Burning Man.

Oh gee. BlueSky gets more fun when friends are here, tooooo
