I got my second #shingles vaccine yesterday. Today I feel like I have a severe #flu. This is the suck.

But it’s better than shingles.

Please comment with pictures of cats. It’s what I need today get through today.

You all do realize #swearing in #Grijalva doesn't matter, right? The bill will pass the House. It likely won't pass the Senate, but even if it does, it will be vetoed. And there's no way there are the votes to override a veto.

The #Epstein files won't be released this way.

Someone's gotta leak.

Okay, presuming that the government re-opens and there's nothing that can be done about it, does that not mean the House must go into session? Does that then mean we get our 218th signature and a vote in seven days?

#epstein #house #shutdown #discharge #vote

Right?

Sitting on a plane headed home, Miami to Seattle. I’m working on code, using a remote LLM as a wingman. My watch thumps me as my daughter sends a photo.

I’m living in the future I envisioned when I was ten.

Grijalva is the legally elected and certified representative.

β€œSwearing in” is a ceremony. She can take any oath on her own by declaration.

She should just show up and start doing her job. Democrats should support this.

Anyone who doesn’t like it can sue.

This is why I usually add two days. One for me to recover. And one for me to catch up.

$130 million β€œdonation”

1.3 million active duty military.

Paycheck: $100 each.

Not even enough for gas.

You ask. Very casually but directly.

Perseus? Sure, everyone’s quick to talk about β€œdecapitating Medusa,” but nobody mentions he was protecting his community from a known terrorist organization. He didn’t choose to weaponize her head; he repurposed it for national defense. That’s called efficiency.

I honestly think the day I finish my todo list and have all my shit together is the day the political situation crosses the line and it all comes tumbling down.

We should stop saying β€œ #antifa β€œ

It sounds like an organization. It sounds abstract.

Say β€œAnti Fascist.”

Call it what it is. Make the #fascists call it what it is.

Make them say, β€œI don’t like Anti Fascism.”

If it passes the house, eventually, what hope is there of passing the senate?
