@cpm So Claire is flying back from Florida tonight and is bringing hot sauce (implied, for me).
Yes this is a TSA agent holding a bottle of hot sauce that has "Explosive" written in rather bold lettering.
I'm so amused Imma pee.

@cinebox @cpm Yeah. Her follow up text is that TSA Flunky *did* decide to challenge her and she pushed back.
I think #TSA sets the IQ bar for agents at about 90, and that's the Top Out End.
@MissConstrue @Lana I will not play games Pre Caffeine ... I will hop that counter and mainline beans.
Making me think Before caffeine is unwise, unhealthy, and possibly terminal.
Medium Coffee, Two Sugars.
Anything beyond that isn't happening.
And *correcting* me with made up size names, I *will* beat some fucker with the grinder and fill their squishy forms with ALL THE STIR STICKS!

The cafe I loved in Santa Cruz had some visitors from Silly Valley once.
They: Late, fast free, double shot, decaf, two pumps of caramel, sugar free, nonfat whip.
... and another in the same vane.
All of us regulars are bracing for impact (Stout was a dick, but he was Our dick).
Stout (Manager/Head Barista): If you wanted a glass of fucking water, why didn't you just ask for one?
We: 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
They: Left for SBux up the block.
Works!

@feld @Szescstopni Oh no. Remember, according to them, your platform is *Their* platform because, "town hall" or something.
@Szescstopni
1. State Law! State Law! Which is how we ended up here after RvW got nixed.
2. Section 230 is *always* under attack.
Which is hysterical because the folk that most want it gone, are the *Most Likely* to get sued into a smoldering crater (liable / defamation) if it's tanked. [ALso it'll fundamentally break social media, comment sections, and the whole fucking Web at large.
@IndyStar_Unofficial Oh yeah, I forgot. A tornado touched down in my mother's front yard last month, uprooted a (big fucking) tree, and tossed it on the roof. +
Not either of the neighbor's yards, nooooo. Just hers.
+ I may have to go back and fix the roof before my cousin does it (wrong)++ and I have to go back to commit homicide.
++ I've been roofing since I was seven. Might know a few things.
@lain That ... completely breaks my brain.
E-Waste -Ew

Eh, I've been all over town, just got here, sun is setting (read, it's about to get cold), my Tevas are in (sheepfucking) Redmond.
So, this is what I got, or barefoot. Did I mention cold? It's about to get cold, and briefly windy, and cold.
My time.
@feld @technotenshi RedTeam stuff, bribes are very much The Way. And it's a Two-Fer : You also find the weasel in the company (good), Flog Them To Hell (fun), and make a very messy example of their careers for the other minions (better), so they learn integrity and OpSec (winning).
@feld @technotenshi And, you know; "Old Tricks Are The Best Tricks."
@technotenshi "Bribed Staff" is the Take-Away here.
So, the people working for CoinBase can be bought. I wonder now about the staff of the other Coins. Just idle curiosity, mind you.

I have found the Nora Roberts, Little Free Library ... There's always one.
@juliewebgirl Holy Fuck!!! That's AWESOME!
I've actually been told this a few times. I pull a lotta crap. My particular flavors of Spectrum and Lifestyle prohibit a "Normal" life by most people's standards.
Makes for some great stories tho.
One of my oldest/best friends wants me to write my memoirs. I said, "I'm not done living, and I'm too busy doing that to write it all down."
