Official unofficial gov of East Texas. Agitator of status quos, nerd. Usonian. They call me Queso Blanco. Yall Means All. Democracy Supporter. He/Him. This may be who we are, but it is not who we will be. Old glory does not wave for them, it waves for us.

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

Just stating the obvious here, but we have to build a government that doesn't starve and bomb the planet for kicks.

Omg no, you’re not going to make Anthropic into β€œresistance tech.” Nope nope nope

Paid upfront for the MRI to get a discount, along with insurance.

Just got a 600 dollar bill for the anesthesia.

I hate this country's stupid healthcare system.

I don’t think that we need to think Anthropic are heroes of the resistance or whatever, but I do think it’s illuminating who is able to see a couple years down the road and think β€œoh shit, I might be held liable for this stuff” in a way that, say, Planatir clearly isn’t.

This is amazing. As a native Chicagoan, going into the lake at all in February is a huge feat of will, let alone treading water holding a stroller over your head

This was the most disheartening thing about the summer of 2024, IMO. Whatever anybody thought about what should happen, the degree to which many parties wanted to go about it by shoving knives into backs (specific backs but also just the party as a whole) was no bueno.

This is gonna make a lot of great officers leave imo.

Getting to go get advanced degrees at those universities was a great perk for a lot of ones I used to know.

America has its issues, but it's floor and ceiling are still incredible compared to almost all contenders.

Our legislature meets every other year for 90 days and we pay our legislators nothing. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve pitched pay raises (not to mention annual sessions) and it just goes nowhere. Everyone seems terrified because they’d have to try to explain it.

I switched to credit karma tax, which is now Cash App taxes, solely bc it is free and if they're gonna lobby to keep this stupid system, atleast they won't do it on my dime.

I hate turbo tax and it's lobbying.

The City of Saint Paul is seeking proposals for a site-specific public art installation at our new animal services facility at 1115 Beulah Lane. Proposals should be welcoming, inspiring, and resonate with the animal services shelter’s mission.

Turbo tax and Republicans want taxes to be hard.

The former so they can get money from you, the latter so you'll hate the government.

For like 85% of people you could easily do the autocompute and we act like the reason we don't is that this would be an injustice to the 15% who can't
