Those Rs will scuttle right back if they try to overturn the inevitable veto

There has been contact! The creator isn't making new content but has been neglecting their existing customers. We've pointed that out and people can't access files they bought

The creator seems disinclined to make an effort to deal with this legit issue or to hand it off for the short term

A 3D creator i know has gone dark for months now. I mod the 17k person FB group. Their collaborator & I have been talking & they have at least some idea how to make contact

We've decided if the creator is really out of the game the collaborator will release the files for free

You're assuming there's people left who will ask hard questions. They've been systematically purging those people from the media empires they own

What do you suggest to resolve the situation you posit?

Typically a solution or three should be presented with situations that deviate from the main course of discussion

I took light rail to work for years. The city offered companies discounted passes, they gave them to us for free

I drove < 2 miles to the park & ride, hopped a train, got delivered catty corner from work

However taking the bus to either of the 2 transit centers would have doubled my commute time

That's what rental vehicles are for

One off use cases will always exist

Here's where I start getting fatigued

The same educational facilities that won't allow Wikipedia citations *will* allow GrokSlopedia citations. I'd place a small wager on it

These places are already trying to embed right-wing ideologies such as Turning Point, etc

I was going with a 60:40 chance they'd show up tonight even with no answer b/c I'm one of the only people left who tolerates their self-induced problems

I just got a text canceling, using a valid reason but very cold in tone so I don't know (or much care) if it's true

Next week is still on for now

They texted me after the event, asking how it was

I did exactly what I said I was going to do after the event - go home & pretend everyone outside my house didn't exist

I answered today. Let's see if they get in a snit because I decide when and if I respond to non-emergency messages

Them: Text. Text. Text. Text. Text. Text.

Me: I have to do things before an event today

Them: Text. Text. Text. Text. Text. Text. Text. Text. Text.

Me: *Read only*

Them: Are you mad at me?

Me: No. I have to do things before an event today

Them: Oh. I'll call tonight

Me: No

Damn velcro people

My cat went from barely tolerating my existence for five years to suddenly sitting on my head

We're still working out the logistics of how she can have her preferred space and I can read/watch TV

Instead of bolting out of the room if I twitch near her, she now stomps on me to stay still

Timeline cleanse. Some sunset photos I took before going in to (not) see a movie

Sunset over scrubland. An orange yellow glow at the horizon with clouds in shades of dark blue and lavender.

One of the benefits of an AMC A-List membership is having no regrets about walking out of a movie you don't want to finish watching

Or in this case, an Unseen when they reveal the title

I've done it before. I'll do it again

I had to disable it in the web settings but I've also disabled Gemini on my phone so that could have been why it wasn't an option in the app

Let us not forget that a Republican President is illegally stopping the distribution of emergency surplus funds specifically meant and allocated for SNAP during government funding shutdowns

In fact, let's shout that from the rooftops

Why aren't Dems making more of a fuss about this?

I think the House wants to implode into insignificance. Any member can bring up a Motion to Vacate & require a vote on whether or not to remove the Squeaker of the House

Of course, the House would need to be in session & some GOPs would need to agree

But why not make the attempt at this point?

Pretty much

The COO they promoted came from customer service. Things changed after that

I've got other stories about that CEO
