As an angry lib this puts me on high alert

I started getting into mezcal and sotol, and that has helped me spill less whisky

I started using a funnel... and I still spill it

He's saying that they're coming here to buy it from us because we are making so much. He also made a post saying that on his site

Our tabby cat, Larry

I donated awhile back but I won't again until you support employees

Our orange tabby, Paco, laying on a heating pad

It's hard to imagine a better cat than Paco. He's really sweet, really social, and always cute.

My new phone got its first software update today. They grow up so fast

Paco doing the face I make after I said something I shouldn't have

A box of single cask Laphroaig whisky signed by Barry MacAffer behind a glencairn glass with a dark brown pour of it

I celebrated a personal win by getting a cask strength Laphroaig from a heavy toast virgin french oak cask. Very good... lots of coffee flavor, and even more smoke than unusual. I'm trying not to drink it too fast

Should be fun to try along with this june's Laphroaig french oak cairdeas release

The sun is already set, so the sunset is seen up reflecting back down from thick purple clouds

It's pretty out there right now

There should be a tea shop called Mister Tea. It could be next to a gas station called I Pity The Fuel

A glenairn with a pour of Laphroaig 10 cask strength batch 007 whisky in front of a window with snow in the yard

Got a bottle of Laphroaig CS batch 7 and have been trying it side by side with other batches. I've been wanting to taste this one based on the reviews

It's very good! For me it's not quite up there with my two favorite batches, 11 and 12, but is probably on my next tier down like the 16 and 17

Paco and Larry seemed annoyed that I had Trump's press conference on earlier so I turned it off out of respect for them. They have good taste and hate the sound of his voice

Since the tariffs were paid by the American people so that billionaires could have their taxes cut again, the correct way to fix this is to redistribute the wealth of the billionaires to the rest of the country

I wouldn't try to stop you, that's highly accurate

I agree with that 100%. In a better society the upsides would be more promising, but the downsides in our current capitalist techno idiot-oligarchy could be horrific

I'm saying I don't think AI is the useless ineffective scam that a lot of my fellow blueskiers do. As my post said "watch out"

Crypto might be further off, but I can imagine a more effective payment system than giving 3% of every retail transaction to Visa. Power usage is an issue now, but with developing tech and quantum computing I can imagine blockchains becoming very useful

AI is just starting. At my work people use it to write decent first drafts of contracts and RFPs in a fraction of the time. Its able to detect early tumors in CT scans way better than humans. In both cases the human is still needed but the work is more accurate and more is accomplished by one person

I've been thinking this for awhile. I love my fellow lefties but there are some real reactionary attitudes towards AI and also crypto

Just because a lot of AI hype and implementation is BS and a lot of crypto scams are BS.... It's not all BS. There are effective uses for these things so look out

Location?

I once had a job dealing with court documents. Many times I saw cops sound totally full of crap saying what they did was "based on my training and experience."

Seeing that common cop legal BS language here on an attempt to steal elections is even more annoying and insulting

Our orange tabby cat Paco sits on his grey heating pad with his grey tabby brother Larry behind him

Paco lost a quarter of a pound after cutting back a bit after our vet said he was growing too wide too fast. He just celebrated with an extra snack

One of the things about the epstein emails that I dont understand is that our government bothered to print and then turn around and scan to pdf all of these. There's a quicker way to save documents actually

That number isn't even close to being correct

I was just wondering earlier how long it would be before they really try to shut Bluesky down

Except that's a scam publication reporting on a subreddit that is itself satire. It's pure garbage and you should delete it instead of spreading it

This seems to be fake. Let's be careful and fact check before we share

This appears to be fake, let's be careful folks

Paco, the orange tabby. His name refers to an orangish reddish color in as Spanish, and also is a nod to our Mexican family members

I can't believe how much I love this guy. Seems like the coolest cat I've ever known
