In Texas, they would just close down every polling place that any Democratic voter would cast a ballot in and then say "voters are only Republicans, we can do what we want."

VIrginia should tax the fuck out of AWS datacenters there... they would have Bezos over a barrel...

Wait, were you not already?

No beagles were harmed in the taking of these photographs -- she was 100% happy with the hat after she tore it up, like every puppy toy. And she got lots of treats for her birthday.

Putting a silly hat on my beagle Riley for her first birthday. It's pink, conical and has a 1 on it.

Riley, the beagle, in her silly hat eating a pupcake.

Riley, again, eating a pupcake in her conical pink hat.

Yay, her first birthday hat is in the pupcake. She had a good time.

My puppy turned 1 and gets a silly hat! Beagles do not like hats -- but they do like pup cakes. #JustBeagleThings

My beagle, Riley, poking through some grass in an improperly maintained flower bed outside my house.

Both my beagle puppy and I are thrilled. She too loves curling up with a good book. Congrats!

Ahh yes, the famous "liberal media" at work...

Just finished. What a fun ride. Will there be more in this universe, or is this a one-off?

I have built this in Kerbal Space Program many times.

"He recently expressed frustration with the look of FBI merchandise, complaining that it isn’t intimidating enough." That says it all.

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

Do they think having this loser at the top of the DOJ is a flaw? That's the feature for the GOP. The worse the DOJ does at enforcing justice, the better for them.

I have experienced EXACTLY that. I even called the hotel...

"It has the appearance of a bribe" is being said about the orange clown asking for bribes from everyone, always.

I imagine this tasted better in the 40s than it does today, considering even their tomato soup used butter, instead of adding corn syrup.

Same thing for Marlins... rough game for 'em...

Hopefully Jamie Bamber, Tricia Helfer and James Callis were the three friends joining Katie, just to make it a cross between a con and a holiday.

The fanfics which had a polycule with Janeway, Paris, Kes and Neelix during the pandemic era were 🔥🔥🔥.

My legs, Tom Bihn travel bag and the back of seat 10D on Delta from IAH to DTW.

Another uneventful flight -- IAH to DTW, Delta, in the back of 10D.

Living things hallucinate. Machines have bad math or flawed programming; are defective or have unfounded logic. We normally get rid of unreliable tech, but now people/companies are investing in it on purpose.

Every single day Opus and ChatGPT are throwing basic "hallucinations" out that the models, when confronted, reply they were hallucinating. The problem is that "hallucinations" are a misnomer and is normalizing the idea that there is thought/perception where none exists. It is all just bad math...

I slept like garbage because of it. I need nap today but I have work that needs to get done.

A boring picture of the seatback of Delta 10F on DTW->IAH. Showcases my usual jeans and my Tom Bihn bag in low lighting.

Tonights trip to Houston has been wonderfully uneventful.

Israel? China? Russia?

Bragging about being in an economic recession for the last year is quite the take. 🤡🤡🤡

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Hugo Boss still has never recovered...

Not yet...

Not a very good picture of my tricolor Beagle, Riley.

She will not sit still for a picture, but she still is adorable. #JustBeagleThings

You're assuming they haven't been in the negatives for the past 4 quarters and they haven't been cooking the books?

I walked away from FB in 2010 and I haven't missed a thing.
