To be fair, "dog-abusing swindler of disabled veterans" is a perfect distillation of the last two Republican candidates for president.
RT @BenjySarlin@twitter.com
In all seriousness, this is (if true) the likely tipping point in the House. "Kevin McCarthy sent a dog-abusing swindler of disabled veterans to look after your small business" is the kind of thing that starts dragging down people beyond Santos.

Yes, we need people willing to punch fascists and put themselves on the line to protect others.
But equally important we need medics and supporters that can keep communities strong and resilient and to make sure everyone especially those with greater needs have everything they need to live and hopefully thrive.
We're a really big team, and we need to make sure that we do whatever we can to build a better world that makes the good fight worth it in the end.

Watch out, a car's going to hit you!
“I don't believe it.”
Look, it's right there.
“You're exaggerating.”
No, you should move.
“I am free to stand where I want!”
But you'll be hit.
“I've been hit by cars before.”
Please move!
“Stop living in fear.”
I am afraid--that you'll be killed.
“We can't eliminate car crashes. We must learn to live with them.”
I beg... oops, too late.
“Please get me to a hospital.”
I can't--they're overcrowded with others who wouldn't step out of the way of cars.

today in things that make me feel slightly better about the world even a little bit, Mystery Ben and his animation team are still working on videos for Mystery Skulls.

@checkervest i have the selfish desire to go back in time to when i was a child and see the world as i knew it then, to see if the details i recall are the same or if they are just fuzzy interpretations of incomplete and imperfect sensory data. also i'd like to drop by Gaslight Square in the 1950's/early 60's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_Square,_St._Louis

i am pretty sure the #cyberdeck is going to be one of those projects i poke at for a few months before it goes anywhere, i have other stuff i need to prioritize and the Big Upgrade i have planned for my main PC is going to need to come first--i feel nervous running DiS knowing that sometimes my GPU will just kick off a reboot because it's dying, and i hate the idea of that happening during a show.
that having been said, choosing color schemes for the thing did keep me up last night. i think i've settled on either 80's Synthesizer Metal-Flake Red with metallic gold highlights, or 70's Office Nouveau Typewriter Orange with metal-flake black highlights. either would be equally obnoxious, though i'm leaning towards the orange. maybe find a spot for the Burroughs logo. hmmm.

before anybody gets mad at me, the non-functional C64-C that inhabited that shell has been sitting in my basement for the last decade in a storage tub marked "PROGENITOR TECHNOLOGY, DO NOT BREAK CONTAINMENT BARRIER, INFONECROSIS RISK" because i like writing dumb things in Sharpie. anyway, it wasn't living its best life, and besides i have a working C64 plugged into an old TV about ten feet from me right now. i mean, it worked the last time i turned it on, which was hunna grunna mumble years ago.
the guts of the broken C64-C are shambling about my basement now, looking for a new home like an evicted hermit crab. it's nudging the tape flap of one of my broken VCR's, that'd be a good home for it. go on, lil' guy, crawl inside and get comfy.
