At 21, I gave an interview to a paper about my employer. About a week later, a stranger sent me a framed copy of an article about me. I freaked.
Quoted out of context or things said in passing and not intended for print...I'd said them and was embarrassed.
Susie Wiles, are your ears burning today?

My eyes are not dry, but I am not weeping. What a genuine and touching tribute, and sharing of truth. I was ten when I first saw this movie, so it's nostalgic for me at a different but nonetheless deeply resonant level. It has been part of my fabric.

GOP decided not to have a vote on ACA extension?
Those jackasses could be sending out life preservers to millions who can't swim, but instead they are making bigger waves so that a few folks get to surf.
Don't let the bastards win.

Is my overthinking a net positive? It has kept me from making moves which would have been good (in hindsight) but overthinking has also saved my ass from so many things that I have NOT done. Maybe I should think about it some more...

They had retreated under their aluminum blankets prior to the Waymo turning the corner. Covered not for warmth but obfuscation, the group's leader snuck her phone's camera lens through a small hole. The taillights disappeared. "They've been scanning at us for days now. I don't know if this works."

Tough day today.
Subordinate the darkness, and repel it with your light.
Remember joyfulness and laughing like a kid. Celebrate those things wholly, and be a friend to those who are without.

Never realized how much your below-average MAGA is like a little piss-hearted Minion, only genuinely malevolent instead of cute and funny.

So as someone who has followed the UFO question for many years, I am disheartened to see George Knapp as a central figure in "official" proceedings.

It's sad how amazingly motivated I am to do things once they're critical, or where the lack of action will be my downfall.

Now that investment into AI and data centers seems to be reaching a point of slowing some, next will inevitably be the need to wring every last shred from their investment by every means possible. Let them have it. All the slopcode, PowerPoints, spreadsheets, and long-winded emails you can muster.
