The #University of #California is #dead serious about encouraging us to sign up for the most expensive medical plan, which is of course... our own UC Medical Plan. Subtle! #universityofcalifornia #medical #insurance #downwiththefishes

I am aware that I don't reach a lot of #evangelicals or #christiannationalism types on #mastodon, but somewhere, somehow, freedom is setting their hair on fire.

#business, #tourism

Anyone got help for me trying to understand the #economy? You hear about Las Vegas, Miami, and all these other places where tourism is down and bottled water is $20.

My little hometown of Julian CA is swarmed, BOOMING. And a meal really isn't more money than two years ago. Like $20-40.

Is it that the tourism economy has turned to day trips to local tourist towns? Less leverage in our locally owned small businesses? Or just, California is less hit by the economic chaos?

After 28 years, much math and experimentation, I determined that the secret is to cool the gelatin to 72 degrees or lower, and chill the #twinkies in the refrigerator so that they do not disintegrate. This allows the sponge cake to drink up the liquid before gelling. The chocolate Twinkies let me hit the theme colors.

Happy Halloween 🎃 from Borrego Springs.

So Charlie Kirk Memorial is the top of the google news tonight. Meanwhile in Nashua N.H. police are clarifying that there was only one shooter at the Sky Meadow Country Club. But this is not anywhere in my Google news feed. I only know because of the Scanner Radio app.

Just another shooting. Both of them. In my sick, violent nation. #uspol

A few weeks ago I had a typical "disease is caused by stuck #poop" set of advertisements running constantly on #youtube, which was turning the app into a fart noise soundboard, more or less. Most unpleasant!

Now I have this dogebox dot #AI ad that is a cartoon #porn #nsfw #facial. This is what you get when you don't pay for YouTube Premium! (I don't have Ad Preferences on either, hence the dregs of Ad Word highest bidders I guess. Poop and #cumshots.)
