Lacking that magic wand, we'll have to use the -other- tools at our disposal...

Yes, I was in the Bay Area a couple weeks ago, and knowing how bad it was for a SFO>SJC run and back, I overtipped my Uber drivers massively. (Non-stop available from where I am to SFO and much cheaper, so I went for that option, even though it meant a 45m ride to get to where I was going.)

About to go for a treadmill run at a 12m/mile pace. With water.

Skipped dinner...oh well. Did take meds.

I'll get the plunger...

I'll take your word on it, never having heard that song before.

Then again, my usual music tastes are strange.

I love mine. 15lb upscale Bearaby model designed for weight, but also not to trap heat.

Peacemaker | Opening Credits | HBO Max YouTube video by HBO Max

True, and I agree, but Peacemaker really reset the bar to an astronomical level. C'mon. I'm shocked it isn't even on the list.

Well, there are few things more inherently tragic than to admit to being a Mets fan.

Repeatedly.

Somewhere out there, a million Protestant and Baptist heads just exploded...

I've felt this way ever since then, yes.

3, 2, 1....

(waits with bated breath for an incoming sizesky post...)

Is his name Jack Daniels?

"Please, please, I couldn't eat another bite..." (pause) "You don't say? Okay, I've got room for a few more. But if this keeps up, we're gonna have to enlist some tigers to handle the surge. Lemme ping my buds, see if they're free this weekend. And hungry, it goes without saying."

You're very welcome. 🫂🤍

I see the face-eating leopards are sated yet again today...

That's all I've got to say about that.

Taco Bell Incarnate

Indeed, speaking from experience, although sad to say I was complacent about it for far too long. Last year was a major wakeup call.

I'm glad you were able to get your meds.

Hopefully, yes. Not sure how quickly it'll go through...

And to think we made fun of presidents being confused by supermarket checkout scanners...

Yeah, excuse me while I chain vomit every single thing I've eaten since 2016.

I know there are people who want to claim there is no actual 'evil' per se in the world, but we know differently now, don't we?

True. I mean, usually I enjoyed it, but when I encountered this one person who truly knew what they were doing, it became a transcendent experience.

Worth noting also that years after its childishly-named incarnation, the 'US Space Force' still has no launch vehicles, never mind one capable of putting even a single human being into orbit.

They still gotta bum rides from SpaceX, Russia, and Boeing (once they get their act together).

*me finally gets back onto Bsky*

30+ notifications, whut?

*looks closer to see that every previous one was marked as new*

At least it's moderately spicy this time.

Some are locked into a worldview where they think that sarcastic cruelty is funny, and project THEIR ugliness onto the art, creative expression, and beauty of others.

These days, I feel sorry that they live 24/7 in a hell of their own making…and if it's on social media, I block.

Insomnia

Haven't been to bed yet.

You're most welcome, CC, always great seeing you here. Actually, there IS a way.

Most smartphones these days have voice commands you can use to have it take a picture. Prop it up where you like, turn your back toward it, say the magic word.

Mine has several words, mostly I use 'capture.'

He's also engaging in excommunicable heresy.

It's an obvious pattern, based on the women's accounts:
1. Meet/charm (narcs are great at this)
2. Establish friendliness
3. Test boundaries > transgress a little
4. Drinks > Drugging
5. Isolate the victim, timed for drug onset (i.e. hotel room)
6. SA
7. Gaslight, imply consent given
8. Abandon
