  • Someone gave us one of those salt lamps (bottom middle) when I lived in Florida. I thought my spouse put a glass of cold water on the table it was on and forgot about it till the next day and cleaned up the table forgetting the sweat. So I cleaned it up. Next day the same thing. I picked the salt up and realized it was slowly melting. The humidity was just so high the salt would absorb as much water as it could, then when it couldn’t hold anymore apparently just leak it on the table. Ended up putting a towel under it, then just throwing it away and buying a dehumidifier.



  • My spouse was still sleeping earlier so I tried to sneak into the room to grab my phone I left on the nightstand. When I was walking out I stepped on a stuffed mouse on a string (usually hangs from a doorframe so the cat can play with it but he pulled it down apparently). When I stepped on it I thought it was a real animal and soon as my foot felt the pressure of pushing down on such an object I jerked it up roughly to my waist, kicked the door I was trying to walk through and it slammed shut.

    One of those moments where you want to apologize, but really then you are just causing more noise to wake them up further.

    Tldr; I’m an idiot



  • I just don’t think “Dems” really exist. People left of MAGA just vote for Democrats because it is what they have to choose from. People who want communism or socialism or social programs or just more fallbacks all want them in varying ways. People say “corporate Democrats” which is basically the majority of what the democratic party has represented for the last decade. A lot of people want to reform what the democratic party is because it is the only structure that exists so that’s why people want to primary everyone. In the end though that means that a corporate Democrat, and all those other groups are voting to replace the same people, but they don’t have the same views/wants. So there is no one person that would be an agreeable spokesperson for all of the various beliefs. Someone who believes the means of production should be owned by the people will never agree with someone who believes the means of production should be own by private entities. So they would be shitting all over each other’s “spokesperson” or whatever.




  • I agree with the sentiment, but it isn’t close to the same. Russia mobilized 100,000 troops to gather at the Ukraine border in 2020 before Biden became president. Trump has sent an additional 2,400 troops to the Iran area after starting the war. The meat grinder effect won’t work the same. Russia loses more troops a day sometimes than the U.S. has deployed. That’s why he doesn’t care. He knows he can always compare to Russia/Ukraine and “look good” while it is unfathomably stupid for him to do so.







  • Don’t forget Bondi wasn’t even their first choice. Bondi is just who they used because they couldn’t get Matt Gaetz the position. Someone he could blackmail into doing anything because they already have the evidence that he trafficked and raped a minor. Gaetz assistant pled guilty and is in prison with a shortened sentence (14 years) with the agreement he would testify against Gaetz. Both Florida and the U.S. put the files in a drawer and essentially labeled it blackmail and let him walk free until they need to use it against him. He wasn’t found not guilty, wasn’t even tried, they just put them in a corner and said… Maybe later.
