Also, they feel like America's in decline. That we've grown fat and entitled and are running up debt to maintain a lifestyle that we haven't earned.
I do not diagree with that opinion.
Such a Monday.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I do not diagree with that opinion.
I don't either. Just looking at it from the POV of real politik, it makes sense that China, and Russia too for that matter, would try to hack and steal as much as they could. There is no police force to stop them - just diplomatic complaints. And since they're doing things like figuring out our energy infrastructure that's valuable militarily as well.
I also expect that U.S. can't squawk too much about it publicly because I doubt the cyber war on our side is solely defensive. There's a reason the NSA is well funded.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Ugh. I have a google alert for Beastie Boys stuff. I was clicking through news stories about the RRHOF inductions, and one of them was actually a nazi site with horrible things about these three jews co-opting black music for greedy greedy profit.
I don't usually stumble across these things. I feel gross.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
No matter how gross you feel, the people who created that sight are ONE ZILLION times grosser.

Scrappy, as usual, speaks wisdom.
I'm at work today. I used to get Patriot's Day off, because I worked very close to the finish line, and the logistics of moving so many people around the cordoned-off streets was pretty much counter indicated.
At least I have a job this holiday.

Theo, I'm not sure. I guess there's a possibility that it isn't going to be that bad, but in the meantime, they're in a hotel and need a special cleaning crew to come in before they can use the house.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have today off, and took tomorrow off, too! SO HAPPY.

I thought it was a Poe's Law thing at first glance. I just feel so sad.
