Thinking frequently in recent days how grateful I am for the forward-thinking of our host and the priceless freedom from Russian manipulation we experience here.

The threat of misinformation abounds, but we can be confident that we are well-shielded.

AND we have the incomparable expertise of @Render to inform us of the Russian invasion.

So much . There's no place like our home.

I'm very stressed out. Can't eat my dinner. Stole all the toppings of my kids' pizza.

@th3j35t3r I wish. They would never hire me. :) But maybe you know someone good for it! I just have low confidence that they will give a Sr. Mgr. the authority needed for change.

The bird wants help. I wish it were a c-level but it's only senior manager, so my confidence is low. Nonetheless a savvy person could do some good for the world and the wrong person in the role could make everything worse. Thoughts, @th3j35t3r? careers.twitter.com/en/work-fo

@Render I got a tee when I took my kid to see Lady Gaga at Fenway a couple years ago. But...she's not a band. IDK. I don't really buy band merchandise. Mighta been a Cure teeshirt in high school.

Really? Give me a fucking break. If that is not the most diabolically un-constitutional way to weasel out of upholding 1st amendment rights.

Kentucky is apparently going to try to argue that the 1st amendment right to petition the government for a redress of grievances does not apply if the government being petitioned for redress is the same government accused of creating the need for redress. WTAF.

Gaaaah! I want to complain but I also don't want to and I kind of don't want to hear myself anymore. I can't describe it well. This year has just sucked so bad--but then what am I saying? My people in question have survived so far--even if damaged and by the skin of their teeth--and so many others have literally died. But the amount of pressure just feels crushing many days. I know it's not just me.

Here's a silly picture from better days gone by.

@Minholkin I'm jealous. Much prefer colder. We're low 60s tonight. Very tolerable.

@Minholkin Sitting outside a little earlier and a mosquito bit me between my toes. 😒

@Render I figured ten or twenty. Wouldn't really know. Mentally compared them to a ream of printing paper and figured money is thicker, lol.

@Render Probably enough in one brick to pay for my kid's stroke rehab for the next year or two. Or to feed a family well for 5 years. Or buy a nice cocktail ring by anyone's standards. Or replace 90-seconds of Bill Gates's capital gains income. Money is so weird. Not like I wouldn't be happy if I could earn that.

@luv2readtx, I think I know how we got here. I don't know how we get back. It's so painful to be honest about where we are, but being in denial isn't my thing.
