Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I thought sure the SUV era was done after 9/11 when people first got to experience $100+ fill-ups with consistency. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

So I guess if you’re looking to save a little extra cash, just use the Costco parking lot.

Golly, well a little chmod (ugh, of course) action got things running well once again β€” but my goodness the logs were super not easy to find. That was really kind of hostile to solve.

Obviously it's great to have Noem gone, but my husband sent me a social media post from the bad site in which someone characterized firing Noem and replacing her with Markwayne Mullin as being like shitting your pants and running home to change your shirt, and I can't stop laughing at the accuracy.

Hard to go after past folks when you’ve so badly overextended yourselves to protect the orange anointed one.

This… would seem to be a significant flaw in their strategy, if I’m honest.

The Raspberry Pi hits hard when it comes to ontological claims.

I guess there are other people, but the lede being Bannon, Beck and Branson is comical.

Well now, here’s a list of people I absolutely wouldn’t trust any further than I can throw them.

It’s so fun to connect people to the way what they’re enjoying comes to be. Not every wine has such a story, of course, but I love smushing that in people’s faces.

we are here for you and how the work is going.

Me too, a little of column A, a little of column B. But this is so fun and interesting! I am so here for this.

This whole thing is probably an on-prem SQLite instance and if so that opens many many doors for data analysis. But we’re also going to have to hook that into Uber Eats or something via their API? I dunno, this is a fantastic side project. Let’s go!

*putters about the wine shop*

You mean I’m fucking around with online services again?

-- Dear Reader, I am fucking around with online services again.

I want to know a *ton* about the POS and potential future integrations, so that will be fun, but holy shit. I thought I was selling wine to people?

Exceptionally damning first five words.

Wow I have just jalapeΓ±o’d my eyes on accident. For those of you who haven’t been pepper sprayed before, there’s a fun exercise.

A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding.

The court JUST said there’s no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.

It’s astonishing, but the Court seems to be the most vain and terrible trouble to the freedoms provided in the Bill of Rights.

Can’t SCOTUS decide like right away if they’re going to grant cert?

03.03.2026 00:44 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I mean are the granting cert to ensure the Supreme Court is a partisan body or nah?

Mike Johnson is an un-accounted-for dweeb who has simply failed upward his entire career. Don’t forget how it was he became Speaker of the House β€” it was because everyone else sucked donkey balls and literally no one knew who Mike is.

Trump must be furious about the whole Bolsonaro situation. To think Brasil could’ve had a fascist this whole time!

Markwayne doesn’t know the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground, but he can good and goddamn well tell you what’s a war and what isn’t.

Well, if it’s β€œpreventative”, it’s clearly missed the mark on the β€œprevent” part.

Goddamn right. When is two weeks again? There is no B-3 bomber.

If it’s preventative…. there shouldn’t be a rash in the first place?

Ah, you guys, they’ve got a program. The Very Best Most Stable Genius Minds have a program! What a total relief.
