You can’t unlock the new fear. You have to read the instructions for the new fear to know how to operate the new fear’s manual release.

Every four years Jill Stein emerges from her burrow. If she sees her shadow, it will be four more years of fascism.

Goats! You get milk and you can sell your lawnmower!

Perfect solution. Everyone who wants milk just needs to have their own cow.

At the same time, striving for monopoly is the only way some segments can survive. An independent hospital is doomed, but a health system has leverage to get better reimbursement rates from insurance providers.

We have before.

A strong stance would be saying you’re committing troops to the defense of Ukraine. This is not much more than the international political version of thoughts and prayers.

My personal desktop machine is a Linux box I assembled from $500 worth of parts about 14 years ago. I’ve increased RAM and added about 8TB of storage for an Emby instance.

It still manages to get the job done, but it is obviously way, way, WAY overdue for replacement. We’ve been struggling financially for about 25 years.

Now I’m thinking I need to finally pull the trigger and get it done before January.

I do that with our guinea pigs.

They get a cookie* every day at 5:00 pm when I get finished with work. After 5:00, whether l come in the back door or just come downstairs from my office, they start wheaking and chewing on the bars of their pen (which they think encourages us to give them food for some reason).

Sometimes, after I’ve given them their cookie, I’ll go back up to my office. When I come back, they start acting like they didn’t get the cookie.

I just walk up to them and tell them that they already got it and they aren’t getting another. They stare at me for a moment, then just go back about their business.

I don’t think they actually forget they they got it. I think they just hope I might have forgotten. But it is interesting that all they need me to do is tell them they got it already and they give up.

* The cookie is a vitamin C supplement made of pressed hay with molasses as a binder. The molasses is why they lose their minds over them.

Remember to throw bacon on top of the peas ;-)

It just goes really well. The sweet of the peas balances the salt in the bacon.

We made Macaroni and Cheese, Peas, and Bacon tonight.

That wasn’t a picture of tonight’s. It’s an older picture. Looks the same though.

I wrote up the recipe a few years ago to add to the knowledge base at work, and I included a suggested serving size:

Customary serving size: enough to make you feel unwell, then 1 helping more

Edit:

If you want the recipe:

The video on the website talks about hiding cards where someone could find them.

I find that terrifying.

If we can see it, then the far-right Nationalist Christians can see it.

People who would bomb a Planned Parenthood clinic would think nothing of producing fake abortion cards and drugging or murdering women trying to give themselves an abortion.

I’m imagining a card prepared with an overdose of Tylenol on the cards instead of misoprostol.

How do you guarantee that the card you’re using is legitimate?

The poll worker is the one who has been arrested. He sent the bomb threat to himself to try to make it look like the voter he had an altercation with sent it.

I agree. Most of the security theater is a complete waste, or worse, an effort to numb us to the ever-increasing destruction of our rights.

I knew a guy who was friends with a bunch of muslim assholes who ended up in prison for planning a terrorist attack.

He kept arguing that the FBI informant encouraged them and it wasn’t their fault.

My counter was: if the FBI sent someone to me talking about doing a terrorist attack in order to “catch” me, it wouldn’t work because I’d report the guy to the police. You know, because I’m not a terrorist.

I also suggested if they were dumb enough to be caught by the FBIs nefarious plot (while being in the country illegally), then they were really too stupid to live and they were probably better off in prison having someone else do their thinking for them.

Jackasses like them are fucking things up for all the other undocumented immigrants who just want to do jobs we don’t want for slave wages.

Honestly, I might have had more sympathy for them if they had someone sympathetic to argue their side. The guy I knew was a pain in the ass.

What bets? The article said “white supremacist ideology”.
