SwingingTheLamp

The common loon flies and swims, but isn’t able to walk.

Bubba is aroused.

No, they told me I could stop.

Come to think of it, the word they used was “should”. They were really quite emphatic about it.

I have to give it this much respect: When I logged in to office.com (for work) recently and was confronted with the Copilot chat-box, I asked it how to disable Copilot. It was honest, and told me that it’s not possible because this is Microsoft’s new product strategy. Then, I asked how I could never see Copilot again.

It (no joke!) told me to install Linux.

Yikes. MAGA can still surprise me over just how fucking stupid they are. I mean, the differences in treatment could not be more obvious.

So if this person no longer works for Pfizer, spill the beans! Tell us about all of the cures that it killed.

I’ve settled on [REDACTED]. Everybody knows who I’m talking about, because everybody knows that they redacted him from the Epstein files.

I took the Amtrak Empire Builder to Glacier National Park, which was supposed to arrive around six o’clock in the evening. The train was already late to Columbus, where I got on, which was not a good sign given the proximity to Chicago. Then, the train had to dramatically decrease speed across North Dakota (85MPH down to 60MPH, IIRC), because record-high temperatures in July were causing the rails to expand too much, making them uneven. I got to the station at the park 8 hours late.

It was way too late to find accommodations. Luckily, I had my camping gear, so I just camped on a bench at the station until morning.

and he knows trump could have him and his entire family murdered with one phone call.

Yes, [REDACTED] brought up the Hortman assassination a propos of nothing on social media, and within 12 hours, Walz dropped out of the governor’s race quite unexpectedly. That was my first thought, that the regime has made its threat clear to him.

This argument only seems to come up in the context of AOC running. It never seems to apply to all the MAGA women, or even right-wing Dems. And it seems very odd to argue that a woman can’t win votes due to sexism, and to cite as evidence a woman who won.

My timbers have been shivered.

Again, agree, but a woman candidate getting the most votes is just not good evidence of sexism. Al Gore also didn’t get enough votes.

Could very well be, but Hillary Clinton’s presidential run doesn’t provide evidence to that effect, since the majority of voters chose her.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Women who run for office win at similar rates as men. That doesn’t sound like a sexist electorate to me.

I don’t think that those people waiting in line to go swimming wanted to be grabbed.

Where did I imply it’s bad?

Shouldn’t official government websites be only concerned about the people actually employed at them and decision makers?

based on their collective actions for centuries, don’t deserve it.
