I got my lawyer on my speeding ticket. Sorry, Steve Smith. I couldn’t afford your fees.
Serious question — what are you expecting the lawyer to be able to do here? It sounded unfortunately pretty cut and dried the way you described things.
If you can say — for all I know your communications here could fall under discovery if the state gets all pissy or something.
Normally (i.e., not in a school zone), lawyer gets the ticket knocked down to “driving a defective vehicle” or similar non-moving violation. Pay a fine. No points. In this case, it’s still a possibility, although not a probability. The other option is a suspended sentence, so long as I don’t get another ticket in 1-2 years, after which it goes away. Pay a fine. No points. Possibly have to attend a driving class. This is the probable outcome. In either case, I don’t have to appear before the court. The lawyer does that.
Thanks. Hadn’t considered a sort of “plea bargain” approach. Good luck, hope it works out.
No problem. It’s standard operating procedure around here. It’s called “fixing tickets.” I just didn’t know how the school zone thing would impact it, seeing as it was a mandatory court date. In any case, I already have my response from the prosecutor and it’s pretty close to what I described. Trying to hammer out the driving course part to decide between my options.
It’s traffic court aka revenue generation. They don’t want to waste time having to fuck with your lawyer.
STEVE SMITH OKAY WITH MISSING OUT ON CASE NOW.
I would assume STEVE SMITH is ready to help any older glibs with proper handling of both pickle and balls.

Thankfully no winter storm for us. The weather looks good for my 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Still no trip to Tahiti, and now that we’ve opened a business we’ll have to wait a while longer. When we got married in 99 I remember at the end of the night my Jeep’s thermometer showing -17 American degrees.
Early congrats, TOK!
Congrats.
Our 48th is coming up next month.
10th in April.
18th was last Oct.
Early congrats.
You spent your honeymoon in the back of a Jeep?
Congratulations!
No a Disney cruise. Yes we have mental issues. 🙂
Congratulations!
FYI: I just got a notice that some of Greg Bear’s books are on sale for only $1.99 on Amazon Kindle and other e-book sites. Includes Legacy, Moving Mars, Slant, Hardfought, The Serpent Mage, and The Venging.
I really like Moving Mars. It is probably the one of his I reread the most. It isn’t my favorite, but Eon got dated after the fall of the Soviet Union. And when Atlanta didnt get nuked in 1996 (unless you count the Olympics).
Scattershot was short story by him. It would make a great series. It’s about a ship made up of parts and people from all of the ships destroyed by a type of disruptor. All of the alternate realities and aliens included.
Sort of a huge city that keeps growing with a population randomly increasing and decreasing. Great alien of the week potential.
It seems my neck of the woods is a good place to view the Milky Way:

Looks like I found a great spot in Florida: plenty of nature and outdoor fun, not too crowded, and not far from a decent-sized city
Nice… I can’t remember the last place where I had little enough light pollution to see more than the major stars.
We rented a cottage in Boothbay, ME that was at the mouth of the Damariscotta river, pretty far from town.
It was amazing to see all the stars and the Milky Way itself.
It was also a depressing reminder of how bad my eyes have gotten – I remember the stars being so much clearer when I was young.
With expansion, they are much further away now.
Yeah…That’s the ticket!
Tucson has that clear desert air, and is pretty good with “dark skies” lighting because of the observatories. The nights are great.
Is there some kind of snow that can’t be ploughed?
That feels like the lead in to a joke I heard in elementary school…
Fugly snow can’t be ploughed*
* Well it can be if you’ve had at least 10 beers and it is almost closing time, but your buddies will tease you about it for decades.
“Look who should have used a blower!”
Something like that?
I’ve seen storms where the ground was warm enough that the snow melted soon after it hit the ground. No one bothered plowing.
We have those regularly at the beginning of snow season, but then the ground gradually gets cold enough that it’ll stick.

Evil tech bros want to destroy a beautiful city
I could keep going … but you get the picture. This Mirror World Mafia does not include any moderates, much less Democrats. It’s all just a well-funded effort to red-pill San Francisco. But pivoting the city of St. Francis away from progressivism and toward plutocracy and prisons won’t necessarily be easy.
San Francisco politics are close-knit and personal. Big money doesn’t always win. The progressive leaders Tan despises were recently elected by the voters. Business-led efforts to break the city’s progressive spirit have failed in the past, said Jim Ross, a veteran political consultant. “Their message is basically ‘let us run over you,’ literally and figuratively, and let us use San Francisco as our little lab,” said Ross, who doubts Tan will succeed.
Have a big steaming bowl of sneering outrage. San Francisco is apparently perfect just as it is.
Well, my impression is that those icky icky business folks will increasingly leave those progressive leaders and voters to it.
Maybe they’ll eventually get a Harry Callaghan — but I doubt it.
“The shit on our sidewalks smells like roses!” (Or is it sandalwood and patchouli?)
Why not? You’ve had your turn for almost a half century now and you’re turned it into a fucking toilet… unless… don’t tell us you like it that way?!
It isn’t that they like it that way, it is simply that they feel it is the most authentic that way. That this is what city living is, that this is the best way to help people in need, that the way they are living is, to borrow a phrase, enlightened.
It is their version of a hair shirt. Penance for living the good life while others are misfortunate.
Yeah that part is terrifying and sad. You cannot reason with someone who walks through life so willfully blind.
And then they bitch that it’s too expensive and taxes are too high and I just want to smack them upside the head.
Crime rates were higher during the decades when moderate Democratic standard-bearers such as Dianne Feinstein, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom held the city’s top leadership positions
Moderates, huh? Is the author conceding that extremists run SF today?
I don’t remember them voting to defund the police and empty out the jails back then. Gosh I wonder if there is some relation.
If you don’t charge anyone with a crime, then crime rates tend to go down.

Tan’s portrayal of Musk’s Twitter as a victory for his own political vision speaks volumes. As I write, the billionaire owner of X-Twitter is on yet another of his racist conspiracy theory diatribes. Musk’s ownership of the platform unleashed a surge of hate speech and misinformation. “Our reporting has shown that, under his watch, the number of tweets containing slurs has risen by up to 202 percent; that tweets linking LGBTQ+ people to ‘child grooming’ have more than doubled; demonstrated that climate denial content and accounts are surging; and revealed Twitter’s failure to act on hate posted by Twitter Blue subscribers,” wrote Imran Ahmed of the Center for Countering Digital Hate. Musk, who called Ahmed a “rat,” filed a lawsuit against his nonprofit.
I can’t be sure but this guy might not think very highly of Elon.
Is the “racist conspiracy theory diatribe” stated in that pile of garbage or does one read it in the penumbras?
“the number of tweets containing slurs has risen by up to 202 percent;” – Not what I’ve seen. Maybe try to not follow assholes.
“that tweets linking LGBTQ+ people to ‘child grooming’ have more than doubled;” – They did unban Libs of Tik Tok, but if the shoe fits, wear it.
“demonstrated that climate denial content and accounts are surging;” – Oh no! Won’t someone please protect me from different opinions!?!
I follow a bunch of TERF and LGB-without-the-T accounts, so this is self-selected, but… Nobody’s accusing the LGBs of anything. Just the Ts.
Libs of Tik Tok does post a lot of stuff about rainbow flags in schools and books that schools keep in their libraries that are LBG recruitment or grooming guides, so it is directed at the LBGs that support it.
I think in that situation the “LBGTQetc” is just a dog whistle for a set of political beliefs, not a reference to specific “communities”.
Sounds right. Besides, I thought it was just Q now.
The T’s and their weirdo enablers are finding it harder to hide behind that crowd. It worked for a long time but people are seeing through it.
It looks like that, when the brakes are removed, people don’t share your opinions.
This didn’t have to happen. Great kid, only child, big future… the people who killed him will never be held to account in this world.
Right down the street from me so lots of upset people around here.

Speaking of sportz, looks like STEVE SMITH might take up golf soon.

Not sure how you make a ‘mistake’ like this: Police: Baby died after mother mistakenly put her in oven instead of crib
I can’t even imagine. Horrible. Like something Joe Biden would do.
Higher than a kite and hallucinating is the only charitable way I would give it not being intentional.
And it would still be an incredible display of callous dumb-assery if so.
One-month-old baby … postpartum, single mother, little sleep.
Most likely drugs, but let’s not discount the fucked-up-ed-ness of being a brand new mother. Because that shit fucks you up, mentally, emotionally, hormonally, and physically. (It took me 18 months to heal from my second baby.)
This. Even as a dad, not going through the hormonal hurricane made dumb decisions on autopilot with the kids.

Miscegenatin’
Staff at an aquarium in North Carolina were left confused after a stingray became pregnant despite there not being a male in her tank.
Scientists have a few theories about how this might have happened — and one involves a male shark.
——-
However, scientists developed another theory when they noticed bite marks on the stingray. The stingray had been sharing her tank with two white-spot bamboo male sharks.
“Then our light bulb went off — sharks bite to mate — did one of our young males mate with her?” Smith wrote.
She said that the most recent ultrasound revealed that the stingray was pregnant with two, possibly three pups.
Mutt sharks.
Was the guy who suggested that tugging at his collar and darting his eyes from side to side?
THEY LIKE BIG BUTTS AND THEY CANNOT LIE
YOU OTHER SHARKS CAN’T DENY
WHEN YOU SEE THAT STINGRAY BOUNCING…
My remora fish don’t want none

Between this and the blue whales from earlier today I’m starting to wonder about the animal kingdom and don’t even get me started on dolphins.
Just ask Hank.
That’s the thing with cartilaginous fish. Even if they did it, they’re going to skate.
I’m floundering for a witty retort.
*narrows gaze*
Try lifting the scales from your eyes and play along… Just for the halibut.
Swiss, before narrowing your gaze, you should consider Mathew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the breem that is in thine own eye?
Who had “sharks with stingray tails” as the cause of the apocalypse?
Steve Irwin?
Too soon!
At least he took a stab at a clever answer.
Could be Stingray Jesus.

President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has joined TikTok, despite sources saying earlier that the campaign wouldn’t formally use the social-media platform.
Numbers from last month’s NBC News poll may help explain the Biden reversal, because they show the president struggling with young TikTok users, especially compared with young voters who don’t use the platform.
The findings are consistent with earlier results from the November 2023 NBC News poll, as well as with other polls showing Biden’s struggles with younger voters.
——-
Bottom line: Biden is doing worse with young voters who use TikTok than with young voters who don’t use the platform, even though the TikTok users overall lean more toward the Democratic Party.
Once Creaky Joe locks up the kiddie vote Trump is toast.
Tomorrow’s headline: TikTok’s customer support inundated with requests to add “hair smell simulation” feature to the app.
Tik Tok is banned on government-owned devices. So where are these posting these Tik Toks from?
Dylan Mulvaney?
They post and then wipe the server with a cloth. Makes it all better.
His campaign is on Tik Tok.
I’m sure Biden’s videos will go viral, but not for the reason he thinks.
Just stay in the basement. It worked last time.
Just like they wouldn’t formally censor anyone who disagrees with them.
Shooter at Houston megachurch had lengthy criminal history including weapons charges, police say
So we have this:
The shooter used a legally purchased AR-15 with a “Palestine” sticker on it, police said. A federal law enforcement source previously told CNN “Free Palestine” was written on the gun.
And this:
During a Monday news conference, Houston Homicide Commander Christopher Hassig said the shooter used multiple aliases, including both male and female names. Moreno was put under an order for emotional detention in 2016 and she has a mental health history documented by Houston police, Hassig said.
Records from the Texas Department of Public Safety show Moreno had a string of arrests for minor offenses over the last two decades, including possession of marijuana, an assault, illegal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest and a forgery charge.
Clearly we need more laws.
Is the “racist conspiracy theory diatribe” stated in that pile of garbage or does one read it in the penumbras?
It’s all “racist conspiracy theory diatribe” all the time, now that Musk is running the Xwixxer sandbox.
While election winners were celebrating victory, PTI and other parties refused to accept their defeat in dozens of constituencies. Dozens of Khan’s supporters were briefly detained in the eastern city of Lahore over the weekend while protesting alleged vote-rigging.
Jan Achakzai, a government spokesman in the southwest province of Baluchistan, urged protesters to “show grace” by accepting defeat and moving away from the highways.
Khan could not run in the election because of the criminal convictions against him that he says are politically motivated.
Huh. I wonder where they learned those particular gambits from.
It’s amusing how much regime libertarians hate Tucker and Russia.
And, yes, Russia absolutely can charm visitors. I experienced it myself during my last visit 5 years ago after not travelling there for many years.
Moscow or St. Petersburg would be nice I’d imagine. Plenty of others too but from watching various Russian YouTubers who travel around the country the smaller cities and to an even larger extent the towns tend to be pretty rough looking and lack infrastructure.
Yes – The opposite of the U.S. All our big cities are rapidly turning into third world shitholes. But, many of the smaller cities are clean, safe, and fun.
Morristown, NJ, Greenville, SC. Asheville, NC is getting a little weird, but I can carry while I’m there. Whenever we drive up north, we stop in Harrisonburg, VA for a meal at least.
I went to both in the 90s. St. Petersburg is beautiful. Putin is from there so he’s spent a lot of money fixing it up since I was there. Moscow was not as beautiful but still nice in its own way and it was very lively. Both had ugly outlying areas with the typical Soviet style apartment blocks. The subway stations were fantastic. And the women were gorgeous. Winters would be brutal though.
I studied in the 90s in Moscow. I couldn’t believe the subway map when I visited the city 20 years later. They built so many new subway lines including right to the places where I lived as a student.
There’s a Russian saying: a pig will find dirt anywhere.
Nobody can expect Carlson to have an opinion about all of Russia after staying at most a week in downtown Moscow.
Good point. It’s like any American who spends a couple weeks in Europe seeing only the nice stuff and then thinking all of Europe is that way. If they spent a little more time living in apartments where people actually live, working in jobs where people actually work and shopping in stores where people actually shop they might have a more realistic viewpoint.
What, you can’t learn everything about Paris from staying on the Ile de Cite for a day?
Why, I never!
I spent 1994 to 2009 living and working in Europe, mostly the former East Germany. There was nothing at all wrong with the working, living and shopping, at least after the late 1990s in the East. Since then, of course, Merkel’s Million Military-age Male Muslim Migrants are hosing the entire continent. Also our Regime’s anti-Russian sanctions are screwing Europe much harder than they are screwing Russia–Germany hardest hit.
As to France, the Musselman nogo sections of the big cities suck, but the smaller towns and countryside are still nice, for a while anyway. Austria is pleasant in most places. Hungary has so far managed to keep the foreign invasion at bay. How long that can last I do not know.
Downtown is probably clean and full of nice old buildings instead of garbage and parking lots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That doesn’t have to be a political statement.
Welch is just mad because his dream of every country except Russia joining NATO is crashing and burning.

Discounting the possibility of a Hansel and Gretel fixation, maybe she put the baby in the oven and closed the door so she couldn’t hear it cry.

I have a confession: I like Cleveland way more than I do Chicago. I’ve been here for a year and some change, and I’ll be damned I don’t miss the traffic or the stupid wind. The only thing is that I moved to the People’s Republic of Cleveland Heights which is ruled by a bunch of commies who believe that we are one tax increase away from utopia.
Hey! It’s nice to see you!
You as well. It’s been a busy year. Bought a house in November 2022, sold my Illinois one in February 2023 above asking price, but a pipe burst in the Cleveland house during a cold freeze last December which was a lot of money to repair and moved into the Cleveland house in August 2023. We’re pretty settled now but a little less money than I expected.
ED!!!!!!!!
Howdy.
Sorry to hear about the burst pipe.
Ditto what Moj said! Was thinking about you the other day.
It’s been a busy year and a half and I’ve lurked but never really had the time to log in chime in on the articles.
In Cleveland you get the same commie policies, but the people are nice.
I find the people here friendlier especially at the grocery store.
The suburbs and exurbs control the big cities here, much to their consternation.
You’re in the Heights man, the crazy lefties come with that territory. Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying your time here. Have you already started telling people that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn’t worth going to?
My neighbors are cool but their politics are nuts and lacks any kind of logic. I also like that I don’t have to get a fucking FOID card like I do in Illinois in order to get a gun.
LOL. My new LTC card arrived today. A month after the old one expired. They don’t renew firearm permits quickly enough in MA.
And welcome back.
Dude I saw in my ghetto Kroger today was walking around in sweatpants open carrying what looked like a colt python clipped to the pocket.
Welcome back. I moved from big commie city to small commie town last year myself.
But I love it. The people are nicer here and the dopey politics are visible but less oppressive since there isn’t a lot of money behind them. The true believers move to big commie city where there’s more power to be had.
Dirty pool-itics
An ad supporting conspiracy-theorist-turned-presidential-candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. aired Sunday during the Super Bowl. But it doesn’t take a conspiracy theorist to see that the right-wing donor behind it is trying to hurt President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
The 30-second ad was paid for by a super PAC called American Values 2024, which supports Kennedy’s candidacy. American Values 2024 is largely funded by pro-Trump megadonor Timothy Mellon, whose self-published autobiography was reportedly littered with racial stereotypes. Democrats even filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission recently, saying the group is illegally providing aid to Kennedy’s campaign by helping his efforts to get on the ballot. American Values 2024 said the claims are meant to “defame Kennedy, vilify him and drain his campaign funds.”
Nonetheless, the ad the group just bought to back Kennedy looks nearly identical to an ad used by John F. Kennedy, RFK Jr.’s uncle, in his 1960 presidential campaign.
Millions of people who saw that ad will go to the polls in ten moths and pull the handle thinking they’re bringing Jack back from the dead. This democracy business is tricky. You can’t give people too many choices, or they might choose wrong.
“whose self-published autobiography was reportedly littered with racial stereotypes”
There is so much wrong with this sentence I have no idea where to start.
“who previously spent millions backing former President Donald Trump.”
So he now supports a different candidate.
When you know what to look for, it’s amazing how much effort these people put into being dishonest.
“…whose self-published autobiography was reportedly littered with racial stereotypes.”
Reportedly? Why don’t you have one of your coffee-fetching interns read it with a hi-lighter and report back.
For the sake of Democracy, it’s best to give voters only one choice.
Here I will note that FDR got many votes from people who thought they were voting for Teddy, in spite of the fact that the latter had been dead for 13 years and the story of it had been front page news.
I forget where I read that, but it seems plausible. Name recognition is always a factor, hence all the presidents and candidates with the same last name.
People are predisposed to hereditary rulers it seems. This means, of course, that we will all be much happier, especially me, when I am king.

Joshua Abraham Norton (c. 1818 – January 8, 1880) was a resident of San Francisco, California, who in 1859 proclaimed himself “Norton I., Emperor of the United States”, commonly known as Emperor Norton.

Too local news: The convenient stores of….Speedway
Yeah, saw that this morning with fewer details. To be fair, the original incident didn’t happen there…but that’s why we call that location Creepy Speedway. And avoid going there whenever possible.
The Super Bowl ad is another reminder that Kennedy’s independent bid has deep-pocketed right-wingers in its corner, a fact that’s fueled claims that his campaign is meant to spoil Biden’s re-election chances by getting some wary liberal voters to cast ballots for Kennedy instead. And this ad won’t quiet those claims.
To put things in perspective: A right-wing donor plunged millions of dollars into propping up a pro-Kennedy super PAC that spent $7 million to imply to hundreds of millions of people that RFK Jr. is something he very clearly isn’t: a shepherd of his father and uncle’s liberal legacy.
What manner of man dares to believe anything other than what his father and uncle believed?
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Ummmmm….. Has anyone seen any lawyer types who followed this say that CO has a chance? Everything I’ve seen has them quibbling over whether CO will get spanked 9-0 or 8-1.
Also:
Remember when we thought it was hyperbole for someone to say the power mongers would rather be the king of ashes than out of power?
It’s not looking so hyperbolic now, is it?
Based on laymen listening to the arguments…they seem skeptical of CO’s arguments. I’m wagering 7-2
For instance one line of questions from the justices centered on if CO can do this, what stops TX doing so to Joe? The CO lawyers answer? Well they can’t!

Voting for Minnesota’s Super Tuesday primary has already begun.
Vote early. Vote often.
Keep in mind: Kennedy was reportedly encouraged to run for president by Trump adviser Steve Bannon. And Kennedy makes frequent appearances with right-wing figures and on far-right media platforms. So one thing is quite clear: There are some rich and powerful people invested in making Robert F. Kennedy Jr. out to be a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat with political clout. It’s just suspicious that many of these people are Republicans.
Look, son, bipartisanship is fine, in theory, as long as you only consort with the right partisans.
Not suspicious/just common sense: Elected officials like Lynne Cheney and the entire Never Trumper project hanging out on lefty media platforms.
I think the real question is, how is Taylor Swift involved in all of this?
She dated all of them.

OT question for Glibs
Occasionally, somebody will post a link to a Christopher Walken movie in which he is tied up by a group of italian gangsters. As they question him, he refer to Sicilians as the (african americans) of Italians. Can anybody tell me which movie that is?
Thanks in advance.
True Romance!
Except it’s the Dennis Hopper telling Walken that in True Romance, there is a movie where some idiots kidnap Walken, a crime boss in the film, and have him tied up but I don’t know if he gives a similar speech in that one.
I believe you’re thinking of Suicide Kings, where he’s tied up by Mobsters, but the dialog about Sicilians is definitely True Romance. Watching that movie is worth it for that scene alone. Also, Gary Oldman gives one of his most memorable performances.
You had me at Gary Oldman.
Guy is a genius.
That would be Suicide Kings. There is no Sicilian scene in Suicide Kings.
Thanks, I’ll try them both

How is the RFKjr stuff any different than Ross Perot?
Other than Ross being slightly more sane.
I guess that depends on your definition of sanity. Ross was a real contender before he squawked about Bush operatives out to get him. Okay, let’s say they were. Why did he not expect that? But let’s say they weren’t. Why expose his paranoia? Then he wanted a mulligan. “Ooopsy, never mind! I’m back!” If I were a conspiracy type (I kinda am), I’d say he was a plant to split the Bush vote and allow Clinton to win.
Anyway, I was all on board for Perot before he pulled that “I’m out! Never mind, I’m back!” stunt. My parents and brother voted for Perot. I just couldn’t. I had zero confidence in him at that point. He was just the wizard behind the curtain.
So I don’t know what RFKJr has said that makes him less sane than Perot.
Perot pulled more votes from Republicans than from Democrats?
Suicide Kings?
*I don’t think I have ever seen it from beginning to end, just bits of it here and there.
I enjoy it, but it’s not a must watch movie by any means.
Anyway, I was all on board for Perot before he pulled that “I’m out! Never mind, I’m back!” stunt. My parents and brother voted for Perot. I just couldn’t. I had zero confidence in him at that point. He was just the wizard behind the curtain.
The the I found amazing was the number of so called libertarians who were Perot fans. The guy was all in on Big Business and Big Government working hand in glove to fuck everybody else.
He was the “fuck you” vote.
Sure was. It should have been a clear sign to the republicans that they are going down a bad path to a uniparty. But no, here we are years later. Loser city, all of them.
The National Weather Service has started issuing its first winter storm warnings across the Northeast and New England in advance of a potential nor’easter that could dump plowable snow on millions of people in the region starting Monday.
I expect not much snow here in southern NH based on the latest forecast. The storm is taking a more southern track.
He was the “fuck you” vote.
True. And America absolutely needed a “fuck you” vote to slap that useless dishrag Bush Senior with.

No link? You are a sadist.
Honestly, it’s a slightly obnoxious channel. An obviously very wealthy and educated Turkish couple go glamping in various structures around the hills east of Istanbul.

A Turkish breakfast is on my bucket list for meals, along with a ploughman’s lunch.
When I lived in Turkey, breakfast was usually toast with a plate of cheese, honey and olives with tea. Sometimes simit. Never heard of shakshuka until the last couple years, though some people claim it’s Turkish (others claim it’s North African).
shakshuka done properly is a treat. Typically lots of northern African spices such as harissa so Mayne that is their claim? Though I’ve had it with Alepo peppers and it’s just as good.
Hell make it with chilies in adobo or calabrian chilies and I’ll be just as happy.
Thank you Ma’am. I will give a look.
These fuckin people – they feed the wildlife, interact with the wildlife, then post videos about how a fox broke into their tent or mice ate the tent.
But I’m the first to admit that a) the equipment they use is really fun and cool, if extravagant, and b) the dude is fucking hot
The spice in the butter looks like sumac. The yogurt looks like it was loosened with just a little water (and probably some salt). I think that was tomato paste for the sauce? Not sure, but it was super smooth.

Also, I’ve been getting messages from the same number, but my phone identifies one of them as a chatbot…with a Florida area code. The regular number I got from online dating. The chatbot claims I sent her/it a pic of me in the shower, and when I sent a screenshot of that to the regular number with a message wondering if she’s being spoofed, my texts failed send. At least we can still talk on the online dating site through their messenger. The plot thickens…
Climate catastrophizing often begins when thinking about a very real event, be it a flood halfway around the world or threats to wildlife in your town.
When we catastrophize — or think of the worst-case outcome — our body internalizes our stressful thoughts, whether they’re based in reality or not, says Thomas Doherty, a licensed psychologist who specializes in environmental approaches to mental health. “That creates a positive feedback loop of more stress, more catastrophizing, which then inhibits my performance,” he says, “which, of course, makes me less and less empowered. We have to be careful about that. Realistic thinking about a catastrophe is a different thing. We have to build our capacity to think about catastrophes.”
Anyone still ’round?
I had a fuckin’ crazy roller coaster day, that somehow went remarkably well. Legit, truly inspirational. And firsthand knowledge from a man shot in the ass, hitting a testicle.
He praised me. Damn.
wrecked ‘im, hell
Said he got jacked, too.
Thanks all—I found the movie I was looking for—True Romance. I misremembered. Walken was the mafiosa, dennis hopper was the guy in the chair.
