Well, not truly random. Self-selected. But I trust the results will be fun.

Take the XKCD survey.
Just do it. You probably aren't doing anything else as fun right now, anyway.

#ElonMusk's notion of winning friends and influencing people is threatening them if they don't toe #Trump' s line... or his.

One reason I love my wife is that she puts up with me saying "Hey, we've been watching a lot of 'Murder, She Wrote' reruns lately, let's do a William Windom tribute night of ST TOS 'The Doomsday Machine' and this show you've never heard of called 'My World and Welcome To It' " and then actually doing it.

So #Trump 's arguments that the NY state hush-money case (that he's already been convicted in) should be tossed are:

1. Joe pardoned Hunter! So Donald gets a free political persecution Get-out-of-jail card, too!

2. Donald's going to be President! He's too busy to face penalties! L'etat c'est moi!

3. Federal law enforcement won't act against the President, so nobody else should, either!

I have to say, #ElonMusk buying Hasbro would be what would be needed to get me to change out from #DnD. Sort of like it was enough for me to quit #Twitter.

And a second milestone for the week. Today I (somewhat unexpectedly) retired.

I realize #RandPaul is a hack who will do anything to get headlines ... but the idea of him preaching the gospel of federal law being superior to state law is ... bitterly amusing.

A major milestone anniversary in my life today: 30 years ago this date, I arrived in #Denver.

Never regretted it.

Our helpful #trash company has provided, free of charge (except as some fractional amount of our trash bill over time) brand new giant #garbagecans which their new trash trucks can easily lift and empty.

Without being concerned, apparently, as to whether folk actually have the space (esp. those of us who keep our trash cans inside the garage, given our snowy winters) for these significantly larger cans.

So I spent the day re-configuring my garage shelving, dagnabbit.

"GOP senator introduces bill to legally erase transgender people"

Dark times ahead, friends. The barbarians are not only at the gates, some folk decided they like the look of the barbarians better, and let them in.

Every time I think #Republican politicians can't be bigger assholes, they prove me wrong. Every single time.

Looking at you (today), #NancyMace.

"Elon Musk Criticizes Dana Carvey’s ‘SNL’ Impression, Says Show “Has Been Slowly Dying for Years”"

Is there anything so perennial, and predictable, as a thin-skinned celebrity criticizing SNL for hurting their feelings? It's almost as inevitable as people predicting the imminent demise of SNL.

The closing words of Russell's Autobiography.

I am finding them quietly inspiring.

"I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken."

-- Bertrand Russell

Legal Lingo

The views expressed by me on this weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer, my church, my party, my candidate, my community, my wife, my friends, or, on occasion, myself.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
