  • It would be a pretty significant design flaw if not.

  • Hey, there's some good money in insider trading.

  • Why do you think their reservoirs are all depleted?

  • Protests are happening here at scale; we just don't tend to burn cars and throw Molotovs. Give it time.

  • In some ways, it's nice to see capitalism finally drop the mask and admit "we're only here to fuck you all."

  • It's cute you think Congress is still relevant.

  • I'm not going to make a redundant post, but I thought this quote in The Guardian was of note:

    The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said on Tuesday: “I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime. When a regime can only maintain power through violence, then it is effectively at its end. The population is now rising up against this regime.”

    It's time to play everyone's favourite game: Was he referring to Iran or the U.S.?

  • Hmm ... this looks suspiciously like winning.

  • Barring a change of plans, I'll be back up at my ex-wife's for a few days starting tomorrow. I don't know what we're doing.

    ETA: It appears the mother of her grandson got into some legal trouble, so she's possibly taking custody of her kids, which would preclude the visit. Never a boring time with her.

  • No, just pubic life.

    (never thought that error could be turned into a joke)

  • You're welcome to frame it any way you like, but I'm not seeing what you are.

  • I want that coffee mug. Mine always run out.

    Also, a cat would be nice to have again.

  • Oh, this is going to go wrong somehow, but I can't deal with this solitary confinement.

  • It occurs to me that you've not had a completely dysfunctional yet primal relationship. Which, really, is for the best.

    But also, her apartment is warmer than my van and has plumbing.

    Additionally, I'm a burner, so ... there's generally a lot of playing with fire. Just usually more literally.

    When I visited my ex last month, the gut feeling I got was "this isn't done yet." She now wants me to come up next week.

  • Oddly, there are some sprinkled about outlying towns, but nothing in Austin.

    ETA: There was one outside city hall, but it wasn't on Indivisible's list and relatively sparsely attended, per Reddit.

  • Setting aside the cognitive dissonance of "everyone else is the problem" that generally erupts as main-character syndrome, there are communities such as Street Medics already on this. You don't really want to spin something up in reaction.

  • Oh, it's also a breakdown in trance. But no one goes crazy given they have no idea where the fuck this is going.
