Money public school teachers spend on supplies for their classrooms should be tax-deductable.

Since they're not, is it possible to start a 501(c)(3) dedicated to reimbursing them, so the expense feels "pre-tax" to them?

Laughing at when right wing MAGA will realize that Trump just named George Soros’s chief investment officer as Trump’s new Treasury Secretary www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

It’s not a Russian spy ring. It’s a Justice Department graphic showing Venmo payments to girls by Gaetz and Greenberg.

I'd love to support trans men who *want* to make a trip to DC to be *forced* to use the women's room in the Capitol. Is there a charity I can donate to? Malicious Compliance, all the way.

Free idea:

911-Only Phone.

It looks like a flashlight in size and shape.

You twist it some, and it quietly calls 911. You twist it more, and the volume gets as loud as possible for your call.

Ideally, it would have no monthly fees.... but would also do the best possible 911 location finding.

You know those game controllers that you can put your phone into?

I want a "Hacker Keyboard" that I can put my phone into... except I want my phone to be in landscape mode, not portrait mode like all the physical phone keyboards I keep seeing.

And yes, I want this to be able to code while in bed.

My mind just absolutely boggles at this. Trying to think what the world would be like, now.

Would it somehow have less Elon Musk in it all the damn time?

Would Tesla be yet another graveyard project?

Before they passed, my parents and I would just say some random line from the West Wing, and just glow in the love of the entire episode.

It was kind of like saying, "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra." It would tell the entire story for us.

So anyway, the Paul Revere Knife. Tears, every time. 😭❤️

I really wish that laptops with an HDMI out (or USB-C to HDMI)... also accepted HDMI in through it... so at a flick of a switch, my laptop screen becomes a monitor for my Steam Deck or whatever video stream I have...

I find myself really wanting a Steam Deck... that has no screen, no controllers, no batteries... and an HDMI connector... that can just stay plugged in to my TV.

Dang it, the Steam Machine was a really good idea...

Only nine months until National Novel Writing Month!?!

I really need to think through my characters... having realized my story is 99% about the characters, and is only 1% about the aliens who abduct them...

Wants vs Needs. Development arcs. Man vs himself. Archetypes. Decisions, decisions!!!
