Zero good. #ncpol It’s not just that nuking gas taxes is dumb & a PR move unlikely to bring any relief (tho *it is*, and further starves NC infrastructure coffers). But activating panicked NCGOP lawmakers for last minute horseplay, days before voters speak? <shudder> https://www.wral.com/news/nccapitol/pain-at-the-pump-nc-lawmakers-announce-plan-special-session-fuel-prices-october-2026/04 Oct 2026 15:15 +0000at://did:plc:3nffdojsndarvhupgdsr2uzb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mx2oypy2e22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/milobaynes.bsky.social/post/3mwypcwtqzs2kbig, if true [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 Oct 2026 20:16 +0000at://did:plc:3nffdojsndarvhupgdsr2uzb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwypcwtqzs2khttps://bsky.app/profile/milobaynes.bsky.social/post/3mwymsselkc2kGood for a Saturday chuckle. https://youtube.com/shorts/AyXMIM8pmIg?si=CqLMjbPneDZ5yJYu03 Oct 2026 19:31 +0000at://did:plc:3nffdojsndarvhupgdsr2uzb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwymsselkc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/milobaynes.bsky.social/post/3mwy5k6g6ns2gI should want it to rain because of the drought. I shouldn’t want it to rain because there’s 2 local politics events outdoors today. But I’m extra petty today… I want it to rain because I skipped my usual Saturday morning protest because it looked like it *might* rain and I’m feeling very guilty.03 Oct 2026 14:58 +0000at://did:plc:3nffdojsndarvhupgdsr2uzb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwy5k6g6ns2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/milobaynes.bsky.social/post/3mwwj7wxpxk2w [contains quote post or other embedded content]02 Oct 2026 23:21 +0000at://did:plc:3nffdojsndarvhupgdsr2uzb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwwj7wxpxk2whttps://bsky.app/profile/milobaynes.bsky.social/post/3mwwiv5jte22wIt’s 1983.

Here it is: ⁿ Isn’t it wonderful? (Let the Wild ⌘C/⌘V Rumpus begin!) I’m gonna be finding all kinds of uses for it… xⁿ uses.
