Temporarily (I hope) an invalid. Penelope is taking advantage of my immobility. She’s mostly a good nurse. But occasionally wakes me up with vigorous licking of my nose.

I'll give that a try. Thank you. Hadnt thought of that type of exercise. I do try moving the zombie leg around. Its very jerky, hungers for brains, but at least it moves. Thats at least slightly reassuring.

Sorry it didnt clear up but glad there was a treatment with some help. For me, I went to the ER and had a ct scan. They couldn't find any permanent damage. Doctor thought it was just a very terrible sleeping limb that would clear up in a few days. Hope so.

I don't think so. But could be? Never diagnosed with it. Does it eventually clear up for you? Sorry you have to go through that. For me, it was an excellent nap. Woke up feeling great. Except for the suddenly missing leg.

Roger Marshall tried to run someone over with his truck back in 2008. What should have been attempted murder was charged as reckless driving. And then Marshall managed to get even that erased thanks to local corruption.

A day ago, I woke up to find a zombie leg had replaced my left one. Very little feeling. Couldn't hold weight. I've been on a walker and very whiny about it ever since. Just from sleeping wrong. It's kinda ridiculous.

Thinking about it, it kinda works as is. This guy fought in the Clone Wars and saw how badass the Jedi were. But then he also saw the Jedi made extinct by some scheming and some neural programming in the clones. Science & cunning beat the Force. He'd have every reason to belittle it.

And if Trump gets elected, they'll shift gears into "democracy dies in darkness" mode. A shift so effortless and smooth they won't have the slightest moment of self-reflection or regrets.

Pardons would cover part of it. And I suppose the immunity would need the courts to flesh it out. Immunity isn't much good if the underlings can be prosecuted at will.

He doesn't even have to kill anyone. He could do something like forgiveness for all outstanding student loans. Seems like the court's grant of immunity would allow him to ignore the court forbidding him to forgive loans.

Deeply envious of the GOP on this point. It doesn't matter how many times they've condemned a candidate as a "RINO". They will still show up every election.

It's this weird form of mass hysteria among the pundits. Even people I normally think of as being rational and non-horse race-y are getting into it. All for a debate no one will remember in a couple of weeks. It's so bloody strange.

Father of one of my friends made a small widget that was used in the lander. He has a certificate from NASA but I'll have to ask him if he has a medal too. That's very cool.

You'd think they'd at least briefly think about the effect the Pledge of Allegiance has had on generations of kids. That effect being mostly nothing with a side of mockery.

With luck, every LA classroom will have a wall dedicated to religious creeds. Just covered from top to bottom. Satanists, Scientologists, Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, JWs, Mormons all coexisting in 6 point fonts. 6 points so they can all fit on a single wall.

I run my rural county's Democratic Party social media. I'm posting this sort of thing all the time. Between Biden, and our Democratic governor who gives a shit about infrastructure, I'm not running out of material.

I'm in a quiet little farming town which, this year, now has gigabit fiber to all residents. Federal grants helped immensely. Couple of family members work for a fiber laying company and they're always off at some rural location across the Plains. This program is huge for them.

Would love to replay for them the Clinton - Obama debates. Where both candidates tried to outdo the other in how far they'd take healthcare reform. And in how big their public options would be. Nothing incremental in what they wanted to do.

If you're ever interested in trying TikTok again, you just have to hit "not interested" or "don't want to see this again" (I forget the exact phrasing). And then you won't see a MAGA video again. TikTok's algo is much better than Youtube.

I would think there would be considerable anger over how NC conservatives banned abortion. Maybe it's worth the effort from Biden to tap into that?

That's the sad thing. Romney probably is the most human, most honest Republican at the national level. And he's absolutely hideous.

Their nonchalance about election years is somewhat amazing. To this day, I still don't understand why they put Dobbs out in an election year when the Democrats were expected to do poorly.

True. In my current state of life, love bombing might work on me. But I do wonder if a childhood spent in evangelical churches offers a partial inoculation. That led me to distrust anyone who offers easy answers while wanting obedience & cash.

Barnes & Noble has a manga section. I think that's a pretty clear sign that a word is thoroughly mainstream.

That's a good tactic. I take it one (microscopic) step further. Type up my angry reply. Post it. Wait a couple of beats. And then hit delete.

AC's tour mode is a wonderful thing. I love that there's even tour guides. Well, historians who try to explain the architecture & history while I'm busy climbing around on an Ancient Wonder. I have too much love for the AC games. Closest thing we have to a holodeck.

Wonder if that's ever followed by a glass of Rigelian wine. Then "ASMR Slow Space Dock Fly Through / No Talking." Few more glasses. Then "8 Hours of Warp Drive Hum" in the hopes of sleep.

They definitely exist. In my red state, I know many lefties who keep their opinions to friends & family only. One even ran & won for county clerk as an R. Others who are registered R to avoid grief from their circles. I'm not quiet but I think twice before putting up a candidate's sign.

Wondering if there's Star Trek / 40k crossover fan fiction where the Federation was in the early days of the 40k universe. When everything was shiny & happy, and grimdark was far in the future. Hope it ends with Space Marines entering the ancient, abandoned hulk of the USS Enterprise.

I wish they had explored this more. There was one 3 episode arc with an incompetent Jedi sending clones to die in stupid frontal assaults. But the arc was ruined by revealing the Jedi had sold out to the bad guys. The show needed more "are we the baddies with a slave army?" episodes.

Back in Dr. Ruth's heyday, I went to see her speak. She asked the crowd:"Which Biblical character's divine death inspired the church to condemn masturbation?" No one answered so I yelled out "Onan!" She said: "Young man, you will receive an A in my class!" 30 years later and I'm still proud of it

The dramatic battle music plays. The heroes look grimly determined. Then the camera pans over to show a carrot with a scowl.

It's such a weird turnaround to watch. Reagan's 11th Commandment was in effect for decades.

Had family dinner tonight. My teen niece was there. We made the formal decision to invite my niece into the grown ups-only group chat. Felt like a modern rite-of-passage. She was kinda thrilled. But she won't be once she gets a flood of gardening photos from Aunt Brenda.

Very glad for this thread. I thought I was the only one. I'm especially thankful for seeing this particular comic at an impressionable age. I thought of it often during various wars & interventions.

I guess it depends on how "comfort" is defined. I live in Kansas. Lots of places with homes under 150k and 2br rents for $500-$700. It's possible to live rather comfortably for not a lot.

My future self left a message. Told me to stock up on bottle caps and canned goods. Started to describe where he was but a terrible roaring sound drowned him out. Then a new voice came on the line. Said "Wrong number" and hung up.
