be the problem you wish on others.
stoned with the mob?
i will add, having read vastly too many really crappily written contracts by lazy or incompetent lawyers, hours of my life i will never get back, i think that fucking with stupid lawyers is a moral imperative.
all litigation shall take place in the state of chaos. settlement shall be decided using swimming noodles while on a tightrope. arbitration or court settlement are not allowed.

"fight the fare increase, vote for george o'brian. get poor charlie off the MTA."
fun trivia. the MTA song was based on "the train that never returned", which was based on "the ship that never returned", all 3 using the same melody.

he is already doing many more campaign events than for the midterms his first term. as far as i'm concerned, he can't do too many. the more he talks, the more damage he does to GOP candidates.
so, my partner has been giving me shit because of my technical level of paranoia and distrust of corporations and governments to do anything to my benefit relating to technology.
today's round was kicked off because i was quoting an article that CD sales are going up and that more folks are discovering why having a copy of your media on your computer or in physical form is better. i pointed out that i'm still buying all my music as CDs or mp3s from the artist.
the response was that i was a pioneer. i am now picturing myself with the suede boots and coonskin cap of paranoia. :)
one of the ugly after effects of fires is the burn scars. it essentially bakes the ground into a hard ceramic, so any kind of serious rain at all turns into a flash flood.
both the waldo canyon fire and the black forest fire did that in COS.
looks like the aspen acres fire isn't even out yet but already has enough burn scars to flash flood.
"The tech giant filed its annual report late in June, and it includes a long list of ways its massive AI infrastructure bet could fail to pay off.
These risks include data centers taking longer to build than expected, supply chain problems, and potential increases in energy costs. Additionally, it said regulations around data security and the environment could also slow down the AI boom."
but other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?
this may not be just a worst case scenario for oracle. it might be a best case scenario too...

Mike johnson:
"If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted."
so win/win/win for the democrats, US residents, and democracy in general.
going to need to find a lower calorie alternative to popcorn with all those trials to watch and enjoy...

if there was ever any doubt that maher is a fascist lover, i think we have definitive proof...
indeed. at some point, roads get hot, car tires melt. traffic jams also happen quickly.
get out fast. if you're in a fire prone area, have a "go box" with irreplaceable papers and stuff to get you through a few days ready at all times. when you get the alert, grab medicines, go box, pets, family, pet food and *RUN*. if it's a false alarm later, no biggie. but not getting out while you can get out can be fatal.

"if i'd known i might be embarassed, i wouldn't have shown my normal contempt for the american public and not feeling obligated to explain my decisions..."
indeed. i was going to chime in with this point but @inthehands covered it so well i just boosted.
the overly entitled will happily apply for anything, believing they deserve to be interviewed. the folks you really want to get in to get a diverse work force are the ones most likely to *NOT* try or think themselves out of being qualifed. so frustrating...
the only solution i've ever found was making sure to have final approval of job listings (not letting recruiters or HR do this) and not having HR doing resume "filtering". lots more work for the hiring team but the only way that seems to not fall into this trap.

it's important to keep the distinction between "non-violent" protest and "being polite" clear.
tone policing is a common way for fascists to squash protests and non-compliance. "that's not courteous...".
"It isn't nice to block the doorway
It isn't nice to go to jail
There are nicer ways to do it
But the nice ways always fail
It isn't nice, it isn't nice
You told us once, you told us twice
But if that is Freedom's price
We don't mind."
we can be non-violent, yet be firm and unwavering, not "nice".
new york being new york. love it.
