New for Christmas, Lego's biggest building set ever, End Stage Capitalism, #66666, with Elon Musk, Dennis Rodman and Hawk Tuah minifigures

@Blueway - "Restful sleep?" I'm not familiar with the concept,🤔

I suppose there are positives to living in interesting times. It does make one feel significant to be bearing witness to the U.S. empire literally cracking in half.

This is the shit U.S. independent Amazon sellers put up with because Jeff Bezos is a disgusting pig.

Product cost (music CD): $3
Product sell price: $9.79
Amazon ship reimbursement: $3.99

Actual shipping charges: -$4.26
AMAZON FEE: -$4.86

My total profit: $1.66

This is felony level usury. Every f--king day.

Holy crap, I just shot this video a few minutes ago. This little feller was in front of the house eating some cheap puss food I put out for stray cats and raccoons and whatnot. I think it's a fox, Petunia's gonna say it's a coyote. Can't tell if his right eye is trashed, I hope it isn't. 🤩

IKR, I was thinking the exact same thing when Biden eagerly normalized "back to work everyone, we can't let covid defeat freedom" after "saving us from Trump" and then added a new genocide to our busy military-industrial agenda, all with NPR's support, those incorrigible scamps.

Plotting revenge against my haters, now new and improved with accomplices

@PatrickKay - The only good thing about all that was that at least she didn't try to resurrect "Fight Song."

@Tarnagh - Kool!

Dept of "So Much For That":

@MidnightRider - That's funny, I just mentioned Costa Rica. I loved it there. Last I checked it costs like $400 a year to live there.

@BillieBun - Idk, maybe you could just show up on a Costa Rican beach and say you'd be willing to work washing towels at a yoga retreat. There's gotta be a way.

Have you seriously considered leaving the U.S. over the last few years? If so, where would you go?

@Jennyfoo2u - 💯 My [SHAMELESS SPAM] last book has all kinds of stuff about why corporate social media is doomed.

You know, the Information Age version of "job-hunting" is a whole new turbo-powered level of "this is stupid and it sucks," it really is. Most of the "help wanted, click to apply" emails that are clogging the f--k out of my inbox have nothing whatsoever to do with my skill set (hi, Monster-dot-com!) or are literally for different positions than the ones listed in the email subject line (Ziprecruiter is absolutely idiotic with that, like it's criminal-level bait-and-switch). JFC already. #UBI

I for one hope Trump's diet of Big Macs and Doritos doesn't finish him off, because he'll be keeping all the Big Oil/anti-education ghouls in his administration too busy with Fatal Attraction drama to accomplish anything more than lowering George Soros' taxes, just like last time

@VelvetDuchess - Alka Seltzer is my best friend.

@BrentSullivan - Lol never were.

Watching all the Twitter-allergic normies humblebragging on Facebook about opening Bluesky accounts they'll never actually use is like listening to your little brother talk about how he wants to ride a tyrannosaurus to school
