Glad I don't have to make the impossible choice between #Talarico and #Crockett tomorrow.
I can't believe #DonaldTrump launched a war without even the common courtesy of lying to Congress first.

This is why I wasn't worried about #Trump scrubbing incriminating evidence from the #EpsteinFiles. It would be a near-impossible task (even if they were competent) to find all the little threads leading back to the documents being excised, and now the hole left behind by the cover-up may be just as damning as the material itself.

Happy 6th Anniversary to Lockdown Day 😭

Remember that period when absolutely everyone believed that margarine was healthier than butter after being duped by some lying companies and health charlatans, and then a bunch of people died of heart attacks?

That might turn out to be an apt metaphor for the current #AI craze as our economy spreads generative content on everything it consumes, and all our communication channels are being coated in a sticky layer of artificial gunk.

Jealous of all the people in #Oakland who can just go and buy jars of this absolutely delicious garlic sauce without having to wait for it to be shipped to them. (Their restaurant is two blocks from the 19th st Bart.)

The absolute gall of these people to spend $900,000 for a light show on The Sphere and then claim that they are qualified to use my $3 effectively.

(And by my $3, I mean someone named Barbara's $3, since they think she is getting emails addressed to my account.)

"It costs so much to be a full human being...One has to abandon altogether the search for security, and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to embrace the world like a lover, and yet demand no easy return of love. One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying."

— Morris West, from The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963)

I stumbled across this quote unexpectedly, at the top of the first chapter of North To The Night, Alva Simon's non-fiction account of wintering above the arctic circle in his steel sailboat, Roger Henry.

Morris West is my father.

So...The Guardian newspaper and all its sections and editions (27 million followers) are abandoning the shit-pile formerly known as Twitter.
For fuck's sake #Kamala's campaign staff, it is #election eve, you should be telling people to go vote, not waste their time and resources donating to a campaign that is over. Your actual job is to win, not raise money.
