The Florida government's position on COVID vaccine is straight out of misinformation websites.

Last week I discussed how looking back on my past led me to realize how some mes' that could have been were alien to who I am now.

This week I discuss how the same exercise helped me discover consistent "Throughlines" in my life - and my possible lives.

They're part of what I call the "Internet Boyfriends" - positive, non-toxic guys who deep dive on various subjects.

Internet Today tries to sum up the insane crap this week in Republican scandals and just goddamn.

This one goes a bit off the rails into some grotesque stuff. Not bad enough to be removed from youtube, but harsh. https://youtu.be/OTUDYfgsa8s

2024 is the year I lost my ability to distinguish between curiosity and morbid curiosity.

.

Trump's mysogynist rants where he seems to think he's outreaching to women, and WTF is going on with Bill Maher aren't a strategy.

My guess is the Robinson thing has him freaked out.

A weird side effect of Trump and Vance slandering Springfield is I wonder how many people now think "Huh, actually sounds like a nice place to live."

Trump saying crap like this is not just going to inflame things, it's going to solidify and spread the conspiracy theories his assassination attempts were faked. What an idiot.

"Trump Says He’s Going to Springfield but Might Not Make It Out Alive"

OK had a gum graft, basically a patch of gum moved from one area to another that had receeded with age. Went pretty darn good (and if you need some dental surgery, I'll reccomend the group that did it).

Big thing I learned, oddly is that . . . man I forgot how good smoothies are. Like a bit of unsweetened almond milk with greens alone is pretty good. You can drink a salad basically.

A thought. After the Israeli page/walkie-talkie bomb hack, a LOT of people are having their devices inspected.

This method of explosive devices being used raised obvious concerns of innocents being killed.

But if explosives are found in the devices of others? Yeah, then it gets complicated, even if something got "misplaced" in the supply chain.

Republican Vice-President wise, I miss the quiet dignity of Dan Quayle.

Yes there are conspiracy theories Trum staged this second assassination threat.

Having Vance outright admitting he fabricated stories isn't gonna help.

So the news of a second Trump assasination is making far, far less of a splash than the first. It never made more than 50% of the memorandum front page (and is displaced), some sites that I use that covered it kind of shrug.

Trump is just spewing anti-immigrant stuff.

I feel like we could react more? But we're used to "troubled person with a gun does thing" that we're sort of numb.

Trump is complaining about inflammatory rhetoric.

The people of Springfield would like a word.
