"he was fired by 81 million people and is having trouble processing that" is one of my favorite lines of the night.

I would not want to get on Kamala's bad side.

When I was a kid my dad ran the NJ summer camp for blind and visually impaired kids. It was a great place to grow up every summer. We had two kids who did a "radio show" over the camp wide Public Address system. They often played, what I assume, was a 1950s novelty record about a spaceship that broadcast a weird sound that made people shrink. I was terrified of this song and when I knew they were gonna play it I would try to run away out of earshot. I have been trying to find that song for years to no avail. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Did I imagine all of this? It haunts me in my old age!!!!! I can find no reference to such a thing on the interwebs! Help me, John Mastodon, you're my only hope.

Honestly, with being vaccinated and taking Paxlovid, Covid was like a very minor cold. I felt significantly worse every day last spring from hayfever.

@WarnerCrocker Indeed. I still can't quite believe this is all happening.

@ATLeagle oh man, that sucks. Massachusetts has a program that you can access if you can't reach your doctor due to being a weekend or whatever- You fill out a questionnaire and a healthcare provider calls you back. It was very smooth. They called in a prescription- I had my meds in hand a hour after I contacted them- it might have even been less.

@ATLeagle He's not having any shortness of breath and declares he's fine.

@ATLeagle No one could prescribe in GA?

@ATLeagle And of course, it's the weekend and the medical care, bad in general, is terrible on weekends.

@ATLeagle I don't think he's running a fever but he's coughing a lot. He was coughing a lot while he tested negative too. He's majorly vaxed (last booster in March) but he has a couple risk factors and is 70. I worry.

Tell me your Covid rebound stories. Husband testing positive after a negative on Thursday...We've done paxlovid. #covid #paxlovid

My daughter’s cat, Stanley.

@clacke @mklopez I'd love to see Tawny and Jack Quaid live again. They were hilarious.

@mklopez A Trek sitcom would be awesome- I guess LD kinda counts, but I'd rather a live action one.

@mklopez It would be so much fun. The cast of SNW has such great comic timing- Peck especially kills me.

Here’s some pretty flowers because politics will make your head explode.

The first woman POTUS may be a Black/Asian person. That is the America I was raised to believe in. I am so dubious that it is a dream that will actually come true. I was happily surprised when President Obama won so… I have hope. Not much, but some.

I hate Trump with every fiber of my being. What I hate most is the fact that you can't run for POTUS without getting shot at...or go to school, or go to church, or go to the mall, or go to a nighclub in Florida, or walk down the street, or go to an outdoor concert, or ... fuck this country. Fuck guns. Fuck people who shoot guns. Fuck people who refuse to try to get guns off the streets...people are awful in general.

@adwright @cowvin I have no idea what to call this stage. I'm kind of in shock. I didn't skew right, and, actually, none of my friends did either! I have gotten much more cynical - but then earlier this year I decided to ignore politics. I get to because I'm old. I'm old. That's what I call this stage- Old.

@adwright @cowvin When i was a child I assumed I would never grow up due to the expected nuclear holocaust. I'm used to impending doom.
