Just another emigrant from the fetid swamps of X. My interests are Ohio sports, tasty drinks, IT work, gaming as I eat dinner. Generation Jones. Columbus lifer. Bald IRL, but the Bitmoji stays.

You should do your next piece on when WaPo jumped the shark. Because you guys have really lost it.

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

Look! NYT found something important to interrupt it's old man Biden coverage and it's not Heritage Foundation's plan for revolution or the way lower courts are rolling back rights. Good to see their crack editorial judgment remains undiminished.

I should point out that my urban tap water is sub-optimal for my plants and probably for me as well.

Indiana getting more ⛈️ fireworks this AM, not sure if its coming Cbus way though. My peppers look 100% better after nearly an inch of rain last evening, but no pics right now as they had a bud drop phase, few fruits yet. Now I must hit a plant store for pollination attractors. Where are the bugs?

Tinkering with trip photos before bed. I'm playing with DxO settings and what the program can do. Wasn't happy with these orange things, felt washed out. But the odder thing is while looking at many pics, where are the bugs.

This coming week, temperatures in Death Valley will be the hottest in the recorded history of this planet. Beryl is the earliest category four storm in the history of Atlantic hurricane season. People, both now and in the future, need us to stave off fascism and build a world where they can live.

Senator Brown's not going anywhere; as the last electable major Dem in the state, Ohio needs him where he is, and he knows it. For this former independent voter (Dem since 2016), ballot change now is a non-starter; Biden/Harris gets my vote, debates and media will not change that.
