Don't forget to unsubscribe any recurring ActBlue donations.

This week I'm buying a new washer and dryer, new cellphone, getting the generator repaired and buying the requisite materials for 3-4 years of house and yard projects.

We are current on all vaccinations, even recent TDaP.

We're also planning to keep an eye out for a camper when folks start needing to sell stuff.

I know this sounds small, given the bigger issues, but I have a cat that is likely going to die thanks to this election.

He needs surgery. He needs treatment. He's never been particularly healthy, but he's hung in there.

Yesterday, I probably had the income to get him the most recent round of recommended surgery.

Today, I have four years of the unknown ahead and people I've got to support. 😢

I can only assume that people think that a Democratic administration (or in some states, adorable little abortion amendments) is going to be able to do anything other than stand aside and watch.

Real shame - finally passed the healthcare expansion.

So in NC:

-(D) Josh Stein for Governor
-(D) Rachel Hunt for Lt. Governor
-(D) Jeff Jackson for AG
-(D) Mo Green for Superintendent of Public Ed.
-(D) Elaine Marshall for SOS

Broke the GOP Supermajority (again).

And gave 50.1% of the vote and the state to Trump.

I got nothing. 😐

Also had fun pointing out to "that guy from high school" that we all know his grandma is black despite all those years of passing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I mean, really. Half bloods? Not in a Trump/Musk administration.

Hispanics "don't pull out".

Yes, I've let all my MAGA adjacent acquaintances know that I (WASP to the core) will happily feed them and their Hispanic and Asian wives and children to the Tang administration.

Because that's what they are voting for. Right?

And, of course, penguins and bagpipes. 🐧

Applies to more than programming. 🛹

This will never not be funny. 😂

I miss clever cheeky social media managers.

Cracks me up every damned time. 😂

I'm this gamer...

Spelunking through folders, cleaning as I go.

Ah, band humor. Tuba in particular. 🎶

Tim Pool is stepping back from his fading career as a paid Russian shill and federal informant to spend more time with his family.

That he doesn't actually have, but is planning to acquire during this sabbatical.

No, this is not a joke.

FFS, people, this is 2024 - NONE of it is a joke.

Can we simply go with their little worlds are so tiny and narrow and they are so fucking blinded by race that they don't know or remember colored construction paper?

Mr. Cosmic just got a text from two time Trump voting family members in Florida, letting him know they were voting for Harris.

Why? What did he do to change their minds?

He told them to sit down and listen to an entire Trump speech and not just Fox commentators or social media clips. That's it. Nothing more. 😯

Let's clean up cheerleading.
