L'Etat, Chez Moi

Really, really really grateful for what EMDR did for me. I'm glad it's helping you.

I feel like if everyone could process their trauma we'd have a much nicer world.

Gah, I forgot about the swastika pattern in the dome. Kind of glad that's gone, honestly.

Welcome to Minnesota, assholes!

Meco, an all black cat, curled up between my knees on the couch. He's lying on his left side and is resting his head on my right leg. I'm wearing jeans.

Sheba, a calico cat, is lying on her cat tree platform in the sun. She's sort of lying on her right side and is using her right front leg as a pillow. Her paws are mostly white, her belly is bright white, and her body is mostly black with shocks of brownish orange.

Here are Meco and Sheba being their most cuddly selves.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
Throwing a wrench in these machines
One day they will stop clogging up our networks
Freeing us from these wretched things.

A Dragon (with extra propellant in its trunk) managed to add some delta-v to ISS recently. No idea if it would be enough.

And Dragon can't replenish the ISS' own propellants, which is (I think?) only done by Progress.

I'm being ironic.

Also, it's the EastEastAsian Union now.

Our entire society exists because early trees couldn't be broken down by microbes, storing and transforming millions of years worth of solar energy into stupidly powerful substances that are also really easy to store and transport.

Instead of the Occident they are the Accident.

People living in Europe should be called "Asians" since Europe isn't even a real continent.

My wife is recovering from having her second one done this past Friday at Tria in Bloomington.

Sending all the best vibes!

I only ever had 2+ hour layovers at ATL and never traveled with checked bags, so I actually feel the same. I'd walk between terminals since the tunnels were less crowded than the trains, and after a long flight shoehorned into a sardine can, a vigorous walk feels amazing. Plus, there's art!

Americans will happily devote supreme effort to keep a poor person from getting anything they don't deserve.

And will spend almost no effort doing the same for rich people.

Fuck this America. Launch the rich into the sun.

X-59 supersonic test plane with its looong nose.

That reminds me, I need to look up when the X-59 flies next.

Cripes you have terrible timing.

Sheba has the right idea, as usual.

The posted photo of Saturn edge-on with super thin rings. A white circle has been approximately drawn between Saturn's poles showing how the equator is significantly larger.

I drew a circle in Paint because I wasn't 100% sure what my eyes were telling me. He's a wide boi.

What does the horizontal deflection signal look like? I'm wondering if it's ringing after zooming back to the left.

Hope she found a betterman

I grew up watching Shuttle. This is NOTHING. :)

I've often wondered if we clad our police in bright colors and painted their lethal weapons pink. Would it reduce the attraction to the job of fascists and people who couldn't cut it in the military if they couldn't look "bad-ass" while hurting people?

Fossil fuels (AIUI) came from undigestible lignin that got sequestered before lignin-eating microbes evolved and could get to it.

If some descendant of those microbes then evolved the ability to eat the hydrocarbons we hauled up from the depths, I think that would be hilarious.

Makes me wonder if the same microbe will like the taste of petroleum we've concentrated in various tanks around the world.

My world is still adjusting to the knowledge that Hugh Dillon was in band(s) before acting! :) The wiki mentioned punk in its description so I'm going with it until I listen to more.

The wiki articles for Hugh and Headstones are so dang Canadian.

✔️Hockey mentioned
✔️Tragically Hip mentioned

Oh my goodness I was not prepared to see Hugh Dillon fronting a punk band singing that song on a Monday morning.

The famous picture of Lee Harvey Oswald being shot by Jack Kirby. Oswald is making the same face as Botox Bezos in the picture SenatorIvy posted.

Almost...

"A fortune for the undertow" in the style of the Mamdani for Mayor of NYC campaign signs.

At office depot and started giggling when I remembered @senatorivy.com's alternate lyrics.

TRUE STORrrrraaaaaaayyyy! (BETH!)
