Make sure to take your robot vacuum out for a walk sometimes, so it can try dirt from different places.

I'm a:

It is bizarre that people still fall for, "If you raise taxes the billionaires will just leave" As if the world cannot exist without them. They only bring revenue, by literally not paying people what they're worth. Oh nooo, the ticks are leaving the dog. Please, let the door hit you on the way out.

Me, looking at next week's temperatures like a dog looks at a steak:

Oh noooo, I'm becoming radicalized by empathy and logic!

Existence means holding duality. The Universe is beautiful, and full of suffering. Sometimes I feel like I can't hold it all inside me.

People who carry hope, love, and meaning inside them, in dark times, are the kind of people I want to know. Some of those people are dogs, but it still applies.

Never forget that the stock market, the foundation of our modern economy, is just bros that tricked people into paying them to gamble.

It's interesting how many grown ass people want a fantasy poem to be historically accurate...

Whenever I go to a museum, I should get to take one thing home.

Okay, I thought I'd share a nice Dad story to even things out a bit. I was probably 7 years old, and had already been asleep for awhile. My Dad came, and woke us up, and we thought it was morning, but he told us to put on our winter clothes, and come outside. It had snowed quite a bit after we went to bed, so there was a pretty deep layer of snow glistening under the moon. My Dad pulled us around on sleds, and built snowmen with us, until our fingers were numb, and my Mom insisted we come inside. My Mom made us hot lemonade (this is was a hot cinnamon flavored lemonade that she made us when we couldn't afford stuff for hot chocolate), and my Dad unfolded out the pull out bed, and we all snuggled in, and my Dad told us stories he made up, until we fell asleep. Anyhow, feel free to share, and nice story, if you have one.

I remember when I was a kid, my aunt gave me all the Little House on the Prairie books. I read them, and remember thinking how awful it was, and didn't get why people were inspired to homestead because of it. Of course, when I got older, I found out the books were heavily edited by her daughter Rose, and it was much worse than even the books portrayed, and Pa was a hot mess.

Old school Dad stories are like, my Dad loved horses, and one day he stopped riding horses for eight years, and threw something in the old well, and covered it with concrete, and never talked about it again.

Sitting through this heat wave, that's basically lasted through the entire summer, while the current administration pretends climate change doesn't exist. I WANT MY PUMPKIN SPICE SPOOKY SEASON SWEATER WEATHER. But also like for people to survive.

Our Bathroom Spiders won't even let me pet them.

A couple questions for people who are perimenopausal/menopausal: What age did you start to notice symptoms? What were your symptoms? How long did they last or do they continue to last? Did you take or do anything to help with symptoms? Did it help? Do you feel like a different person? Honestly, feel free to drop any information you'd like. Just moving into this period of my life, and I'm curious about other people's experience.

How else will 80+ year old people find jobs if not for politics?!

Lynchings never stopped, the police just rule them as suicides, and refuse to investigate.

What's your favorite song about working on the railroad all your live long days?

This is very tongue in cheek, in case there's any confusion. Basically, if you don't conform to societal norms, you're making it political...somehow.

Me, laying in bed having deep thoughts: Wait, how much would it cost to take a cab from Philadelphia to Belair?!

Why pay for AI when you can be cheap and barely functioning for free?

When you have 10k to spare, and want to be the reason your neighborhood starts an HOA, and your town makes a new law:

Math problems be like: If there are too many waffles, how many bears will come to your picnic, solve for syrup. Math People will tell you it's both simple and obvious. We get it, you're smart!

This painting in my hotel room is called The World's Greatest Rock N Roll Band 1955. As you can see, Elvis will once again meet his untimely end, due to the man smoking a cigarette by the gas pump.

Sometimes you just got to bite your partner, they look like a snack, and you just got to do it.

A great weekend to support Persons of Color and LGBTQ+.

I 100% get liberal women or any woman, not wanting to date Conservative men, what I have trouble understanding is why Conservative men keep trying to date liberal women, and want to change them, when there are plenty of Conservative women who want to live that Trad life (apparently, according to them). Why would you just not go find that plethora of women that want to be submissive to you?

A Batman Sequel where Robert Pattinson plays both Batman and The Joker.

What happens if a mosquito drinks Jesus' blood?

Losers will often claim they are winning, so people stop trying.

Also it seems like you can murder or assault someone and get away with it half the time.

The Committee to End Committees has created a subcommittee.

@timo21@mastodon.sdf.org RIGHT!

What are your favorite breads, both sweet and savory?

I remember when I was a teenager, Boy Meets World made an episode about Topanga getting fat, this her being "fat":

I think every Pop band should have to have one middle aged man going through a mid-life crisis, who's desperately trying to keep up and be relevant.

@faithisleaping@anarres.family That is a way to get murdered in your sleep

Some fun reasons from the Declaration of Independence stating why a leader should be overthrown: He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury
