Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't think calling my senators will do any good, but calling my representative might possibly sway him a bit?

Yeah, our senators are MAGA Republicans (Moreno for sure is, and I'm going to guess that Husted toes the MAGA party line). My representative is Landsman, who is a Democrat and is very very anti-Trump.

That sucks about missing Cary Elwes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Mine is, too, but he’s had some recent votes that didn’t really show that.

Oh, seriously? That's not good. I need to go check his voting record.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just spent an hour chatting with an AT&T representative trying to fix my phone.

At one point this involved me using FB Messenger to have Cousin Nicole call Emmett so he could receive a PIN, so that could be relayed to me.

Anyway...I have to go to the AT&T store tomorrow to get a QR code.

Figures.

It might not, but they log calls the same as Dems and if they only hear from supporters that’s not great.

Your life is being taken over by QR codes.

And not in that sexy way we all associate with QR codes!

[I've fuckin' hated them since restaurants stopped handing out menus and would point at the QR code on the table! Fuck you, restaurants, there's NO FOMITE TRANSMISSION. Sorry. I hate them.]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"NFL will remove 'End Racism' from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl. The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game."

Two freaking days after Roger Goodall said DEI would stay alive and well in the NFL.

I'm grossed out.

I know all OIGs were sent home, but I sent am email to the Treasury OIG fir tax admin naming the DOGE employees that have been identified as people I am concerned have possibly gained access to my tax information.

Probably does nothing, but felt good.

Those assholes need to be brought before Congress and have handed down to them whatever an unauthorized employee going into those systems would receive. Firing for one, fines? Banned from future security clearance? Added to watchlists?
