Mx. President at your service

I have a few words like this where I know if it looks right, it's wrong, and I need to spell it the wrong way for it to be right.

The real mindfuck comes when I get into an internal "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line" loop.

Then I just use text to speech.

And their student loans are only at 7.5%, but it'll be huge for their mental health and at least I will have gotten out while the market is up... Sell high [📈|🌲]‽‽‽

Seriously conflicted.

Seriously!

My partner is super sensitive to their student loan stuffs. They just saw the monthly interest that began accruing again, and it hit hard.

I'm seriously thinking of cashing out nearly all of my retirement savings to pay down their debt. Sure I've earned about 20% in the last year (VOO)

Why won't the Democrats let the Republits open the government back up‽‽‽

Is not being a minority in BOTH houses enough for these terrorists!

No health insurance for you!

You get a National Guard! You get a Nation Guard!

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills today.

This is like the third piece of news makes no sense and lacks enough context to grep.

As I understand it, they are asserting that it infringes on the therapists freedom of speech, totally ignoring that the state licences the prof and can regulate its practice.

I'm sure the SC will have the backs of socialist attorneys that want to tell their clients to seize the means of production.

After sharing all that, I feel like one might wonder what's wrong with me. #MostlyHarmless

Escalating Tensions

One last podcast proffer, which is how I just realized that the TFG "podcast" is only available through specific channels, is Lovett or Leave It. Spotify link (derogatory) attached.

Best (only?) queer politics podcast. And yes, Lovett is a Pod Save America bro, but still worth a try.

Shutdown for What

"... everything from reproductive rights to romcoms. They break down the political news of the week, plus the topics, trends, and cultural stories that affect women's lives."

And since I already have Spotify open, here is this link to it there.

Highly recommend!

The duo that host TFG also host Hysteria, a podcast described thusly...

"Political commentator and comedy writer Erin Ryan and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco are joined by a bicoastal squad of funny, opinionated women to talk through everything from reproductive...

FWIW, They bring the receipts too.

"Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco, co-hosts of the podcast Hysteria, do a deep dive into the lives of some of the worst b*tches in the game."

Is the description of a podcast (video podcast?) that did an episode on SM, and it covers some of the signs of what's wrong with KM.

I mean if it happened in a six way intersection then 10 cars would be possible...

Swing by your local fire department and ask to see their TV room setup.

Would have been a La-Z-Boy recliner in the 90's, but if the tech has improved the FD will be all over it.

Erik Satie - Gnossienne and Gymnopédie

Here is a playlist I made for my infusions. I'll probably delete this post in a few days, as I prefer to be pseudonymous here.

Gnossienne and Gymnopédie by Erik Satie

I disliked anything with lyrics, as they could distract or pull up unnecessary associations.

Why the twitter short link?

But also, thank you for the reporting and the link even still.

Before TX NG arrived, yes, but I believe that the CA NG had already arrived in OR before the TRO.

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said.

Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%.

Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer.

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

Sanctions! Sanctions!

Between apartment hunting in Chicago this month, Chicago this week, and Bills (SO hard launch alert!) WORST week at work, it felt good touching base with two old friends and making sure we all still had each other's numbers and Signal, and emailing Cory Doctorow to report link rot on their blog.

Changes that would allow them to maintain some of the status quo and keep their docks.

No more ARC review for repairs that have the appropriate permits! So no waiting weeks to months to be able to replace your roof after a hurricane.

Automatic approval of native friendly lawns.

So many things!

while ignoring the restrictions clearly spelled out in the controlling docs/statutes. So there is 20 years worth of "well Mx. X built a dock across community property for their own use, so I will too," which means that I should have a fairly solid base of individuals that will approve my suggested

Now I get to implement all the mad and unhinged schemes I've been ruminating on over that time period.

First up, amend the docs to allow an easier and more direct way to recall the board. Fortunately we've had 20+ years of enforcing only the interpretable (paint color and land scaping) items,

A screenshot of a text thread: ** Yesterday [Wednesday October 1st] at 10:54 ** Sent by me: "You need to get your people at sentry in line. We have a new manager so nothing we have established before matters any more? Look you're 5 months past your election maybe it's just time for you to step aside for the good of the community." "That is if you can't manage the managers or maintain the common property." From the Board President: "[Redacted], as always I’m happy to discuss by phone. I agree, I’m more than happy to let another resident take over. The board is down to [Redacted] and myself at the moment." Sent by me: "So there isn't going to be a meeting tonight?" ** 14:00 [Oct 2nd] ** Sent by me: "Hi [Redacted], circling back to your offer from yesterday, I am absolutely willing to take over immediately so that you can step down. Thank you for all your hard work over the years. Have Sentry reach out to me once you've informed them so that they can bring me up to speed."

After nearly a year and a half of trying to get our HOA board to do something about the management company charging homeowners fees not allowed by our governing docs, the management fee schedule in their contract, or Florida statute, the president just decided to hand off their roll to me.
