What I’m gonna have to do is record myself telling the damn story then transcribe it but I don’t wanna. Feels weird to try and tell the damn story to myself.

I’m in a dry spell with words and I hate it.

Like yea, there are very real problems in Hawaii.

We got fucking shot at when we trained in Makua Valley because locals wanted the land back from the Army.

But this dick isn’t the guy to get paid to write about it.

One of the things this dick flatly refuses to recognize is POVERTY! The native people on Oahu have a lot less money than he does. They’re not world travelers because it’s fucking insanely expensive to travel from Oahu. Hell it’s insanely expensive to LIVE on Oahu.

This author though thinks he can get inter library loans from a university library where he is neither student nor staff because they stock his books and yea I think maybe the problems his ego not the Hawaiian people.

I lived in Hawaii for 3 years and while there were certainly struggles between locals and us Haole it was pretty easily navigated by avoiding illegal narcotics and not being a giant prick.

The reason I read this article is because someone else posted it and pointed out the author seems like a real prick. I tried but can’t find the post to repost.

Just wanted to say if someone wants to pay me to go to Hawaii I can do this better cheaper.

The dude who put up a “Democrats hate America” sign in Foxboro must’ve had an angry conversation with his wife because it was gone within 48hrs

I’m at the point where I’m picking each string just to make sure I’m not accidentally muting something with my far fingers. My goal is eventually to learn how to play slide guitar.

The other thing about the Politico Young Republican text leak is every one of those Nazi fucks looks exactly how you think they will.

Did basic scales and picking exercises for at least an hour today and I’ll get a few more iterations in once the kid goes to bed tonight.

Between kid, writing, and guitar I only get to watch movies on flights anymore. But I’ll keep it in mind.

You know what’s fun about these leaked chats?

A lot of them are from “blue” states.

Light aircraft kill folks all the fucking time and this moron thought he could just fly off into a NorEaster?

Jeremy Hammett @jeremyhammett.bsky.social · 8h

So some Masshole moron flew a private plane in a NorEaster, crashed on the goddamned freeway and managed to hurt some innocent driver while killing himself and just…what the fuck is wrong with people?

I don’t think so, just noting the weird depressing vibe and my sudden new found struggles in getting a Covid vaccine

Jeremy Hammett @jeremyhammett.bsky.social · 11h

Oh cool.
You gotta get approval from your primary care to get a Covid vaccine through the VA now. Won’t be a big hassle but it’s the difference between walking out vaccinated today and having to come back in a few weeks.
