This whole thread is just....

Cannot believe it needs to be said, thank God it is being said, and fuck this shit, abolish everything that led to this.

Ellis: "The camera is your friend."

If someone throws a rock at your head, the camera will capture it. If someone throws fireworks at you, the camera will capture it. And then it won't just be your word.

That's what federal officials said happened on Friday.

Oh shit, that’s the fucking joke. It’s a fucking joke. Please tell me that this is also a joke (it’s so bad that I’m pretty sure it’s not, but I guess I’ll check, because this fucking timeline)

So someone in the news needs to be taken aside and explained the concept of Aunties. Yes, I know she was a cousin, but if you’re going to nitpick like this I’m bringing out the heavy stick (and that’s the Aunties, you do not fuck with the aunties, not never not know how).

As a comparison, Cat 5 storms start at 157mph winds. There is no Cat 6 storm. No other category has >26mph bracket (Cat 4 at 130-156mph).

By strengthening overnight and then maintaining its intensity of 185 mph, Melissa has tied the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 as the most powerful hurricane to strike a landmass in the Atlantic Basin.

Melissa strikes Jamaica, tied as most powerful Atlantic storm to come ashore

The storm was so strong a hurricane hunter had to end its mission early.

So the joke is, I’m going to be that guy they describe on the news as having 1000 rounds in his home, ain’t I?

Steve Buchheit @stevebuchheit.bsky.social · 4h

that should worry you is that 3 months ago it was $.23/round which means that a lot of people have been buying ammo lately and supplies are tricky again. For comparison a standard .22lr round is about $.08/round (for the top end about $.20/round).

locked up in a case), it is damn expensive at low quantities (as in >$.50 per round, some of them over $1 per round) and the only way to control costs is to buy them in 500 to 1000 lot sizes. The particular round I just purchased was on sale, offered free shipping, and was $.45/round. The thing

violence that may have occurred if they weren’t stopped. But I have to tell you as someone who has recently had to purchase ammo that is not .22lr (the most popular cartridge in the US) or shotgun ammo (which Walmart displays on an open shelf, all other ammo except for BB or AirSoft/Pellet is

So because I now have experience in this field and was about to make a joke about it, I wished to share my knowledge. When I shooter is found they often report on what else was found with them, usually including the number of rounds (typically about 1000). And the general public gasps at the implied

I wonder how much money has been spent on fighting public healthcare.

And how much healthcare that could have provided.

Just recently, as I was in charge of a general group text about health concerns of my mother, one woman, who was just getting into a Senior Living Apartment with her husband, did correct me to say that she is not my aunt, but my cousin.

Speaking as a dude who has a yearly family reunion, "aunt" and "uncle" fill a role, what the fuck are you supposed to call all those other older people you're vaguely related to, do you think there's someone running around with an org chart saying who's a second cousin thrice removed or something

Okay, Im willing to go out on a limb here and say that with the their PM ordering "forceful strikes" that the "ceasefire" is not threatened, it's broken.

Okay, so, echoing what everyone else is saying. Yes, this.

But as someone who is forced to read corporate emails and continually changing protocols and SOPs, madre de dios some people really need this functionality (but unfortunately it probably won’t actually fix the problem of incoherence).

Reminds me of an episode of the BBC Radio News Quiz from a week or two back where a panelist went off on how crumpets are the perfect butter delivery device and how muffins are just sad and failed crumpets.

It’ll be hard to break this habit. It’s been over a year now that I’ve been doing it. But I need some good vibes from the universe, and soon. At least to stop the bleeding of resources and favors.

They say what we put out into the universe returns to us three-fold. So with everything that’s been happening with my personal life and finances, I’m going to stop flipping off all the houses that had TFG signs the last election. I still retain the right to flip off cars with his stickers, though.

Crash? I hope everybody is okay. But having just been handed a few thousand in car repairs, plus having to replace spouse’s car… I keep reminding myself it’s just things and just money. We are alive and still fighting, and that’s what really matters. (I’m fortunate enough to have saved the money
