"Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'."
From Terry Pratchett's Color Of Magic

Today was like a hot bag of crabs.

'Sometimes something like this can open people's eyes about managing their money better.' Oh eat shit. People are not making enough money to live, period. Wages need to go up. People aren't on food stamps cause they're bad with money. It's because companies don't want to pay living wages.

'They say no kings but Biden was like a king and Covid restrictions were tyranny!'
Yeah? The ones you ignored anyway, designed to stop the spread of a deadly epidemic? Yeah sure. MAYBE IF YOU HAD GOT THE SHOT INSTEAD OF GETTING COVID YOUR BRAIN WOULD WORK BETTER.

I'm gobsmacked by how dumb people can be. How dumb they are still becoming. I've seen some awesome SM comments that just make me sad for the commenter. 'If he really was a king he'd just keep the government open!' Why? The government being dismantled was always the plan!

I don't know what is under my dryer, but my cats are super interested in it. Could be a mouse or a shrew or a frog.

Saw some chode with an 'I stand with Charlie Kirk' sticker on their car and had to laugh cause he's not standing, bruh, he's definitely flat out.

This has been true for 14 years at least

Everyone making statements about how "political violence" specifically is bad is playing right into their view that there's an elite class of people this shouldn't happen to and it's not so bad when it's anyone else

Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota

I do love when he cooks

I told him that this was an insult to the concept of culture and it tastes 'okay'

Whaaat the fuck did my husband just serve me?

Starting to think that my husband took up woodworking just so he could say the phrase tongue-in-groove all the time.

Like she thought the guys were going to come back in? Or something? I was under the impression she had spoken to them, but I suppose that's absurd! An owner calling her employees to get their resignation officially? Nah.
Mind you, they quit because of her.

I can't wait to find out how under staffed my team is today when I get to work. Two of my team just stopped coming to work as of Monday and the boss started out saying they were off the team and how dare they... Then yesterday I asked her who was on for the rest of the week, and she seemed confused.

On to the next task of helping my aging mother deal with her anxiety that she's not properly medicating. Fortunately, I can talk her through it sometimes instead of just telling her to suck it up or making it a joke like she did with me for years.
Good thing I did all that therapy!

I think I am finally done telling folks about my boss' death. Everyone she used to chat with at work, people who have quit and moved on before she got sick, etc.
It should not have been my responsibility, but I'm one of those people who sees a task and does it. Mostly.
It sucks.

I can search for the remaining 249 koroks while listening to Midnight Burger? Why, yes, I will double fist my distractions, thank you.

Steve is 'Working from home' today.
He's trying his best.

I'm drinking the Bios Crash slurpee I hope it crashes my bios I hope I blue screen

TFW you're trying to decide if increasing the SSRI is a good plan or if everything is gonna continue to be shit and bum you out even with more serotonin so why bother.

Almost two weeks. That's what she got. Went in for surgery to remove her brain tumor, and never woke up.
Shit just sucks.

Lazy, judgy, and racist.
And won't stop telling me about her life that I do not care to know, like how her daughter is pregnant and she just bought her a small breed puppy.
Cause nothing says support like making someone care for and train a puppy all summer during pregnancy. Ugh.

I have this coworker that I don't much like. She said last night that she thought covid was a hoax. Because she never got it. Which probably had to do with her BEING VACCINATED. I told her I thought she was very lucky. That I had it once and I'd take any jab to not get it again.
Also she is lazy.

oh

TFW you're depressed and don't want to be seen crying at work lest the people around ask Why Are You Sad and that's not a conversation that you can even handle rn ... but then you find out the old boss who has been out for a month has weeks to live and so everyone will just assume that's why anyway.

Today's to-do list includes bird watching. Currently, there are no birds around but that's OK. It's a lovely day to sit in the yard.
There is nothing else on my to-do list today.

This really isn’t a hard message.

Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.
