These days when society trends toward hate and bigotry, I rebel and practice radical kindness. You're all beautiful, awesome people and the world is 1000% better that you're in it. Carl Sagan said "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself."

It baffles me sometimes that Alice and the Wizard of Oz both have, like, Tolkien-levels of world building through way more novels than you think and yet I have zero interest in going that deep into either property because they've both been so distilled over time it feels like it's not worth it.
Wife is watching an 1980's TV special of Alice in Wonderland she's seen plenty of times that had a scene with the Jabberwocky showing up and scaring Alice. I asked if Alice was going to get the vorpal sword and snicker-snack it. She looked at me like I was the weird one with 3 heads.

The stuff that has been released so far today isn't even meriting damage control it's so small potatoes. The report must be absolutely insane. Insane. It's legitimately making my skin crawl to think about it.
My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)

According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

I hate this time of year. Well, love it and hate it. Love the weather and the rituals and all, but SAD always hits me super hard in November. Saps my will to do anything productive and all I can think about is who I'm perpetually letting down.

It was literally too hot to wear long sleeves 3 days ago.
I'm sorry what?

Sometimes I open X/Twitter as I still have a highly curated gaming news list there. Last time I checked it was almost a month ago. Realized that everything on my feed I'm mostly getting the news from elsewhere and needing to check is becoming less and less important. This is good.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

On my way home I stopped at the grocery store, too. Near the frozen waffles section this older dude, looking confused, holding a list, comes up to me and pleads "Belgian style?!" He had been standing there a while, hoping someone, anyone, would stop to help. I quickly helped him find his waffles. 😅

Finally home, pizza in hand, and what comes running out of our grove of trees as I'm walking up is our local red fox looking quite healthy, mature, and beautiful. Blessed. 🦊

I didn't even realize this was a thing. Check your settings. Rude is subjective and seems to be being applied real goofy 🙃
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Wait. So no jury duty, half-day of work, Little Ocho is at his grandparents, and Mrs Ocho will be at a convention down in AC. Looks like I'll be having a "bachelor day". What the heck do I do with myself?
Completely called off for jury duty. Makes sense. Figured they weren't going to start a trial on a Thursday or Friday.

At 69% of precincts reporting (nice), Sherrill will be the next NJ governor by 14 points. A landslide in today's world. NJ will stay a bastion of democracy.
