The fact that he knew Roberts rules of order was 🤌

Obscene amounts of money tends to bring the worst out in people because in order to become obscenely wealthy, you have to be a pretty bad person.

Honestly it’s a bit refreshing to see racism and ageism codified. Before there was no logic to it but now, it completely makes sense.

That’s why the judge in the NY case was such a pussy.

Absolutely nowhere in the Constitution bars a sitting president from serving his term from prison. No federal law bars a state from holding a sitting president in prison to serve his prison sentence.

His only constitutional requirement is to be able to execute duties of the office. If his Cabinet feels like his prison sentence would preclude that, well there is an amendment to fix that.

Honestly Vance should have pushed this issue to force himself as acting president.

Me, as an American: …I can haz? Plez?

I appreciate the encouragement but I realized long ago that the adage “love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life” doesn’t hold out for me. I love coding, but hate doing it as a job.

I may enjoy woodworking but would hate doing it as a means to make money. The moment it becomes the sole way of making a living I get stressed and anxious.

For me, a steady and reliable paycheck would be better than a paycheck I have to chase, even if it means I get paid more and get to be my own boss. And I don’t have the capital to do the fun stuff (eg just woodworking) while someone handles the boring and annoying stuff (ie customer engagement).

The most I’d consider is selling premade/stencil/templated wood stuff on Etsy but don’t think it’d bring in enough money to make it worthwhile.

“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”

Tribalism. It’s been with us since we could hunt and gather.

There is a cross section of smart people who only learned how to do school work and got straight As but failed to understand how that school work applies to real life.

I’ve been in classes with people who were in AP calculus have real difficulty in shop class trying to figure out how much square footage of whatever you needed. These are people who can figure out the area under a curve but fail to calculate a 20% tip.

My therapist has been encouraging me to not neglect myself. Especially since this layoff process has been very long. So I usually devote at least a few evenings to job searching and networking and then other evenings to just things I want to do.

The anxiety is still a hard fight.

I’m about to get laid off and I’ve been thinking of returning to woodworking. I got all of the tools that I’ve used one or twice on specific projects. But with some time to actually dedicate to it, I might pick it back up.

Or my anxiety of not having a job will rear its ugly head and make me glued to my laptop.

Without reading this article, I already know there is a quote from his family that they are asking the public to respect their privacy during this time of grieving.

Like every family of assholes.

Oddly no but I suspect that it’s either due to them not caring enough for one person doing this or them thinking their T&Cs will prevail in court.

For me, I don’t see a loss. Either my contract doesn’t hold up, which means that I only lose time and money or it does hold up in which case I lose time and they (and every other company that has clauses where you accept terms by continuing services) loses their contract terms.

If it ever came to it, I would bet the company would choose to settle rather than risk a president being set.

I suggested late in the campaign that we should Truman Show him and fly him onto the set.

I suspect that given the amount of money we’re giving El Salvador, Trump or Vance will just say, “Yeah, it’s part of the US now. We bought them. They even said thank you.”

We’re in fascism times. He has that power if he and those around him thinks he does.

To legitimize it.

Is this a real picture? I honestly can’t tell.

The irony here is that if they had actually kissed, they probably wouldn’t have gone viral.
