Wow, a friend of mine here in Wisconsin got this in the mail... 1/2

"A fake 'newspaper' called The Wisconsin Transcript.

It’s 12 pages of fear-mongering. Fear of foreigners and immigrants, fear of “Socialists”, fear of Medicare fraud, fear of Democrat “extremism”.

Nowhere was there information on who the publisher was, or who paid for it."

You can't spell "Fediverse" without "diverse"!

This photo is from a post by a Waukesha newspaper. The comments are hilarious and are like "I don't see anyone in the photo" or "He was in my prayer group at the time" and "It's the Hamburglar!"

My comment was: "I didn't see a damn thing and neither did you."

And some weird gun-nut dude I knew years ago even messaged me "Hey, at least we agree on these Flock cameras!"

@dansup Or you just make all new friends! 😆

The power screwdriver I bought three years ago for $35 USD is now $50 USD.

Everything is bullshit.

Sewing folks, do you have a favorite brand / model of serger?

My daughter recently got really into sewing and is now looking for one, along with recommendations.

My partner met up with a friend today and the friend asked how I was doing since my surgery.

Partner: He's doing better. He made bagels the other day.

Friend: Oh good, so he can make lunch on his own?

Partner: No, he didn't... toast a bagel for lunch. He *made* a dozen bagels. Like, made the dough, then boiled and baked them. With three different toppings.

I assume things will go well, but just in case they do not...

@quixoticgeek @cadusilva I tried Waterfox but Firefox Sync did not work, so I tried LibreWolf and sync did work, and it disabled all the AI stuff Firefox added. This was before they added an AI disable switch in Firefox though.

Big News, folks! My surgery that was scheduled for the end of July has been moved up to the beginning of June. I cannot tell you how excited I am, especially after the pain of the last few days. (I wonder if they can put my cyst in a jar for me.)

An update on my current condition...

I’ve been telling people about the evils of Substack, and asking then to quit using it, but I need to suggest alternatives… so for non-techie folks, what are the alternatives?

I’ve heard of Buttondown, which starts free but can get costly with more subscribers.

So what else is there I can recommend to normies?

I just wanna take care of this baby.

I have one wish for the youth of today... and it's that they hate Trump as much as I hated Reagan when I was a young person.

Some guy was like "Name one place where Socialism has worked?"

And someone else answered: "How about in Milwaukee you fucking dunce!"

Yup, Milwaukee is the home of Sewer Socialism.
