The NCGOP also wants to exempt law enforcement agencies from official state procurement procedures. Nothing shady about that. Okay, but also make all educational institutions exempt. Never in a million years. #NCnews

The NCGOP is attempting to prevent anyone except for Republicans from winning elections and citizens are just letting it happen. #NCnews

I'm to the point where "punch a Nazi" and "punch a Republican" are synonymous.

Overheard yesterday at the diner: “You ain't seen an ass whoopin' yet.”

Do people really believe that AI "thinks" and "learns" like humans do? I just can't understand how one could be so gullible.

The only things I like about summertime are seeing Orion rise at 5 AM EDT at the end of July and seeing my wild morning glories grow and bloom as summer turns to autumn.

Elderly lady made a substantial takeout order. Regular customer Kenny told me to tell the owner to bring him the check. Owner said the lady's order had already been taken care of by another customer. That's how we roll here.

Okay if the carpenter bees can gnaw through 22 gauge sheet metal they can have the damn fence.

A pox on my beloved NC-based Lowe's hardware for having no human cashiers available and of all the automated checkouts open only one accepting cash. To Hell with you!

Got one long asphalt driveway crack de-grassed this morning. May try to de-grass another before any rain gets here.

You know, I just can't see paying three figures to a local nonprofit to hear an already wealthy person, a celebrity, yammer on about something or other. Something else I just can't wrap my brain around.

I have never understood, and will/can never understand, the business concept of "here's a job for you to do but I'm going to change things on the fly so that you can never actually do said job much less ever complete it to my satisfaction." I would normally say "make it make sense" but there's no way for this "logic" to make sense in my mind and I'm eternally grateful for that.

I think this crud I've had has become a sinus infection. My sense of smell mysteriously vanished late last week and seems to come and go and I have persistent upper nasal congestion. I alao can no longer type a single post without having to edit it extensively thanks to the algorithms that make space around keys bleed onto other keys. I'm beginning to hate Apple.

The United States of America is too superstitious for its own good, and too superstitious to be a global superpower.

There is no way on God's green Earth I could have survived in the military. I would have been thrown out.

Sometimes I'm driven to question my own intuition and observation of reality. Then there are days like today where I independently discover that my intuition is spot on and my observations of reality are shared with, and confirmed by, others, so it's not just me. Being the newbie with the most to learn, I expected as much, but holy crap...

I'm tempted to tell people to just stop getting astronomical information from the mainstream press. They're peddling nonsense these days.

We have more choices than we sometimes allow ourselves to see. Sometimes we are afraid to even admit it, much less act on some of them.

My next step in battle with the carpenter bees is thin sheet metal plates mounted to the fenceposts. Surely they can't gnaw through sheet metal.

The diner is closed WThF this week (Eileen is taking a vacation) so I’m getting the jump on some yard work and may wash the car depending on how tired I am.

This TV remote is blitzed. The IR LED is on all the time EXCEPT when I press the power button. I've never seen this problem before.

I now mentally add "Fascist wing of the..." to every mention of SCOTUS when I see it because it's correct more often than not. #USPol

I'm calling it now. Kegseth will eventually argue that the Constitution mandates continual USian military conflict somewhere in the world at all times and any attempt to rein him in is unconstitutional. We're almost there. #USPol
