IT Professional. Friend of democracy. If you're not going to heaven, why only miss it by an inch?
Favorite thing about this weather: taking a long walk with Maggie, who is absolutely built for it and loves playing in snow.

The “attempted to remove the monitoring device with a soldering iron” part of the story appears to be true. Haven’t seen confirmation of Trump’s involvement yet.

We don't have Puck as Transportation Secretary, but if you remember back to the San Francisco season of The Real World, Rachel Campos made out with Puck and she's now a Fox Host and married to Sean Duffy, so this timeline remains undefeated.

I remember reading that they normally have a stenographer create a transcript of the presentation to the grand jury (but not the deliberations) and part of the concern is that they might have dismissed the stenographer prior to Halligan completing the presentation.

FWIW, Charlotte is 100 miles from the ocean, although the law as written allows the Commissioner of CBP or the Assistant Secretary for ICE to declare a larger distance to be reasonable.

Florida alone has 9 GOP districts at R+8 or less and that includes scandal-plagued restraining order magnet Cory Mills.

Someone on Reddit actually priced out the 2024 basket if you bought it now and came up with a cost of $66.50 -- a 20% INCREASE, which is even higher than I would have thought it would be.

Wondering if he had the same "do the suede chaps come in a crotchless version and should I starch the collar on my shirt?" conversation with wardrobe that Mike Pence did.

So used to seeing him in that beret that I never realized he looks like Ed Rendell and Regis Philbin had a kid together.

Never ceases to amaze me that Apple can’t get rid of this incredibly common pattern of spam.

- Randomly generated address
- Claims to be UPS/Fedex/USPS.
-Link isn’t to one of their domains

I mean, spot the pattern, don’t send it and immediately blackhole everything from them.

Loving that my feed here is full of pets, probably because it’s a lot more real people and a lot fewer bots, but either way, have a picture of Maggie on her contemplation stone.
