I am at real risk of saying something I'm going to regret.
Every word of the post below is a lie, and its author deserves to burn in Hell for eternity.

Stephen Miller is a white-supremacist asshole who so badly wants to be a modern Nazi. Fuck him. And his dipshit wife too.

Day three of what I think is a norovirus. Nasty kind of bug to get before the holiday. Sad that I might miss out on yummy food, but anything will be yummy compared to plain toast and granola.

I didn't pop a bottle or anything for the site launch, mostly because I was so stressed about handling the traffic - but definitely want to pause and do a🤘🏻tiny celebrate. I think 6.5 months from "I think we have to rebuild it" to launch. I'm tired and grateful.

Illinois, in the face of cruelty and intimidation, has chosen solidarity and support.
That should not be overlooked.
Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and Gregory Bovino tried to appeal to our lesser instincts — but the best of us are standing up to the worst of them.

I’ve only lived in the Midwest for about 6 years and I still love the snow and cold weather. But the ice… Oh how I loathe the ice. Especially now that I have a bad knee.

Will likely be snowed in tomorrow in Central Illinois. Good time to play more Ball X Pit and Indiana Jones.

Upgrading from a 42” HDTV with no HDR features to an 85” UHD TV with excellent HDR is… an experience. It’s nice being able to read on-screen text in games while sitting across the room.

The “Russia hoax” is now their template. Every past investigation becomes a “deep-state plot,” so no future one can be trusted. This is how authoritarian movements rewrite history to protect power instead of truth.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.
