Not there this morning. Everyone needs to remember to check in the morning bright and early

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

Magistral:

Trump sucks

Who indeed?

What a lovely idea!

This printer was broken and left a kinda beautiful toner blob.

Does it ever.. of course, divorce IS litigation, so it makes sense.

I’m watching a live stream

tl;dr no, humanoid robots are actually just a stupid idea and if they weren't we'd have had them for decades

A lot of litigation is simply walking into a meat grinder and demonstrating your intent to stay there.

Reading this, it sounds more like “being honest and upfront with your goals an intentions.”

Sounds like a good plan to me, what am I missing?

Obviously some people will take it to far and act like assholes. Those people will always find a way to act like assholes though.

Ewoks are fucking metal. Agreed.

But, I just want to get all my priorities passed right away and I’m entitled to it! If you don’t give me exactly what I want, I’m not going to vote for you.

I didn’t realize that the “hi hungry, I’m dad” dad joke has a deeper meaning, which is “please politely ask me for what you actually want instead of just announcing a problem to me.”

“Dad, I’m hungry.”
“Hi hungry, I’m Dad.”
“🙄 Could you please make me something to eat?”
“And how hard was that??”

Heart with flowers, telling Brain "Don't be so hard on yourself!"

If you are feeling too emotional, let your logic cool you down.

If you are feeling too logical, let the emotions carry you to act.

Understand the ying and yang of life.

Am I missing a mistake? Or are you agreeing with him?

Agreed. It would decimate the GOP, especially if they ran down ballot candidates.

Yes, yes it did.

I think I’ve seen this movie before.

Mural of Statue of Liberty in shame unveiled in France the day before 4th of July

Kristi Noem was asked why the National Weather Service did not ping their phones before 7 in the deadly TX floods that have now killed 50+ people, and if this was a failure of the federal government.

Noem's excuse was that trump "is upgrading the ancient technology" left in the NWS."

Right ...

The 4th of July is a celebration of rebellion against tyranny. That should be remembered.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
