This is just creepy and pathetic. It's Mean Girls shit.
Wired - Out-of-office messages of US Department of Education employees, after the government shutdown began, were altered to contain partisan language without their consent. www.wired.com/story/governmen...
Government Workers Say Their Out-of-Office Replies Were Forcibly Changed to Blame Democrats for Shutdown
Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.

My latest:”Through gossamer tributes, Kirk’s cruel condemnation of transgender people & his racist throwback views abt Black Americans were no longer anathema but instead are being treated as just another political view to be respectfully debated —like a position on tax rates or health care policy.”

Overheard at little league...
Grandma: You see the pictures of what the national parks look like? They're overflowing. They aren't getting maintenance or even garbage taken care of. It's a mess.
Dad: I heard otherwise.
Grandma: Hmm?
Dad: I heard that it wasn't that big a deal.
Great story, bud.

"Fall ball" little league games on a Sunday morning means beautiful Oregon farmland, good coffee, and no fewer than three 5th graders named Maverick.

He wasn't with Seattle long, but he was a good captain in the locker room. I think he'll make a great scout or coach.

Mark Giordano has joined the club organization, essentially the Marlies side in a player development role!
This has basically confirmed his retirement from playing in the NHL after 1,148 games in #Flames, #SeaKraken, and Toronto.

Maybe it's just my algorithm, but Disney cranked the advertising of #TheGreatNorth up to 1000 in the last week. I don't think I saw this many ads for it in 2021 when it premiered.

Been playing Red Faction: Guerilla Re-Mars-tered (maybe take-two on that joke title, eh fellas?) and today the game provided me with a tank and a goal of blowing up 35 enemy vehicles.
My Switch crashed due to the sheer amount of explosions taking place at the same time. I feel oddly proud of that.

They need to bring back guitar hero/rock band, with the controllers and drums and all of it.

I'd buy the little one-screen movie theater in my small town--which closed during the pandemic and has sat lonely and forgotten for five years--and show only repertory screenings of older movies.
Since none of us is actually going to win the Powerball, what’s the most ridiculous thing you’d do with the money if you won? Forget paying off student loans or buying a house, what’s your ridiculous purchase?

Today was my first trip through TSA without pulling out my laptop and taking off my shoes in 20 years. That felt strange.

#AlienEarth getting to use Disney footage for all the Peter Pan motif stuff is kind of fun, in that icky corporate way that the show is specifically evoking.

Aside from looking a little like Billy Idol in #AlienEarth I think Timothy Olyphant could look good with any eyebrows. That's a real boon for him.

Okay, finally getting into #AlienEarth and I'm very charmed by the fact that AI and cyborg technology have essentially become the next "Beta vs. VHS" or "Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD." That's a funny idea for a corporate dystopia.

I surprised myself buying this one. The Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider isn't a big one for me, but I couldn't pass up this cool comic book paint effect. The orange flame attachments are fun. It's like Satan's body kit.

I couldn't resist buying Biff's 1946 Ford, with optional manure. My kid said "you just paid money for plastic poop" with the most condescending tone imaginable.

Just got out of Jurassic World: Rebirth and found it to be a refreshingly straightforward goofy dino picture. Reminds me of JP III, and I mean that as a compliment. Thankfully, no mutant locusts or moody teenage clones. No cynical paycheck cameos. No doofy spy missions to exotic cities.
