I had my very 1st surgery yesterday at nearly age 50 to remove a penile lesion (thankfully, younger folks have the HPV vaccine!) & a problematic mole for biopsy.
Stitches on your genitals after skin was excised is not a pleasant feeling.

TERRIBLE JOKE OF THE WEEK™️
I served an entree at a dinner last week that was basically just okra and sausage. Meh. It wasn't bad and it wasn't good. It was just meaty okra.

X thinks BlueSky users are all celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination while simultaneously dehumanizing the generic “left” & “progressives” as “not civilized”.
It seems those holding the real levers of power want to keep us divided while they suck the remaining life out of the carcass of America.

Telling trees what troubles me has never hurt.
I was given bad news about someone close to me. It might turn my world upside down again, sooner than later.
My life will be torn to shreds in a number of ways when it happens.
And the person who told me doesn’t know how much they really have meant to me no matter what I’ve ever done to show them.

Hey so I'm not keeping a spreadsheet or anything & I recognize that we aren't all going to be able to boycott EVERY corporation, but my focus currently is specifically seeking out whether a place I give my money is scaling back or getting rid of DEI initiatives.

Speaking about knowing too much history - while waiting for a contractor, I started reading "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder.
It's amazingly on point, and you can track what is happening now and what will happen if we don't stop it.
Read it. Seriously.

This is why nobody feared Project 2025 enough because everybody is like, "Who's going to do it? Jared?"

The difference between MAGA and the Nerd Reich is that the Nerd Reich's plan assumes Trump is too lazy to be dictator.

Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

For everyone who has ever held a part of my heart, those parts remain with you in some fashion, and I will never get them back, yet for all of that, it has been worth it. You have all been worth it, and I am a better man for the lessons I learned from you all. Enjoy your day!

Don’t give them implied permission to just do what they will. If this is the way we are going, let us not simply lay down and let it happen.
A couple of prominent examples show that sometimes people do exactly that, and their worlds change practically overnight.
