I was in Pittsburgh during the annual Furry Convention. The most peaceful, polite large group of visitors to our fair city. And if any were airline pilots, I'd be surprised, bc many seemed quite young But anyway, who cares? [contains quote post or other embedded content]

But seriously, who among us HASN'T tried to trans some kids?! Especially if they failed to do the surgery in the schools, where it normally happens. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

The rare case where bad proofreading turned out to be good. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ddm-gKJP1k4/?stkn=MTZxZ242a3J4bXQ5bw== A nonprofit watchdog noticed a typo that slipped by in a company's check to a Susan Collins's PAC. Turned out it was a sham company created by a Pentagon contractor to conceal a bribe to Collins.

My @unitedhealthcare.bsky.social insurance notice: "Your premium has changed [read "increased"] from ... to ... The reason is because of an annual rate change." Wish I could send my payment back with this note: "My payment to you has changed [decreased]. The reason is because of a payment change."

Yes! And so ridiculous DJT's effort, considering how he urged his MAGA crowd (whether registered or not!) to vote early. How, pray tell, does one do this if not via mail? [contains quote post or other embedded content]

On Sept. 11, 2001, the passengers on Flight 93, on realizing their plane was on a suicide mission by the hijackers, took a vote on what to do. Some 30 people, knowing they were about to die, voted. They voted. The democratic instinct of these 30 ordinary, brave people should humble all us Americans.

About to post a gif of "Sgt. Schultz" saying "I see nothing!" Then discovered that John Banner, the actor who portrayed Schultz, was an Austrian-born Jewish American actor who emigrated to the US as Hitler annexed Austria to Nazi Germany. Many of his family members perished in the Holocaust. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Being boring is lovely! That is, when you get the results back from routine health screenings, and the notes say "unremarkable."

Sat down to work this a.m. Was discouraged that things looked slightly wonky. Sorta clear but a bit off. I'd missed a few hours' sleep. Did it affect my vision that badly? Found out I was also missing a lens. One had popped out of my cheap reading/cmptr glasses. #AmEditing @acesediting.bsky.social

Also, how does he explain his win in 2024? 2020 (DJT loss): "rampant fraud"; 2024 (DJT wins): "elections fair"; upcoming election showing w Republicans in danger: "Preemptively declare fraud back again!" [contains quote post or other embedded content]

"One person's inability to accept an election loss from five years ago doesn't change the facts." Truth! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I've read that many local journalists today often just use police reports for their stories, either bc of lack of time and resources to investigate further or bc of laziness. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
