Every day, Satan tells you the lie that only you could love you.

Don't believe it.

You are loved.

Fully, wholly, completely, always.

You. Are. Loved.

Good to know that the evil wizard types don't buy their doors at Lowe's. Doors from that other place aren't guaranteed to always open in our world. Shop Lowe's. Don't let in the demons. @monsterhunter45

@alt_w_v_g The conversion factor for expectations seems to be broken in Excel. Even with the grid lines off. The math never works out quite right. Best to revise down.

@endofanerajc @allie__voss "...people don't like me..."

@sarahsalviander Ever since Twitter switched to everyone being on the algorithmic feed by default (pre-Elon), it doesn't seem like nearly as many people see my posts. I was curious if getting Premium and verified would change that. Nope. So much for "native content with photo" getting a boost.

The Parthenon up close this morning and at sunset tonight from the hotel roof.

A debt of honor. I support this concept.

There is a restaurant in Texas where they bring you food until you tell them to stop.

They do not tell you to stop. You tell them.

I did not know a man could be trusted with such power. I confess I wept.

In my country, when a host feeds you, you finish what is served. To leave food on the plate is to insult the hands that made it. This is not my opinion. This is the law of the table.

So when the man said "all you can eat," I did not hear an offer. I heard a challenge of honor.

The house was offering me everything it had. To stop before the house stopped would be to call the house stingy. I would not insult the house.

Plate one, fried chicken. I bowed. I finished it.

Plate two, ribs. I bowed. I finished it.

Plate three. Four. Five.

The house did not stop. So neither did I.

A waiter came and said, kindly, that I could stop whenever I wished.

I told him I did not come here to wish. I came here to settle a debt of honor.

He brought a manager. The manager brought water. I do not drink water during battle.

By the second hour, the kitchen had slowed. I took this as weakness in the enemy and pressed forward.

By the third hour I could no longer feel my face. But a samurai does not retreat simply because his face has left him.

They turned off the lights and closed the restaurant around me. I remained seated. Still chewing. The last man at the table.

I won.

I have not eaten since. That was eleven days ago.

So tell me honestly. When the sign says all you can eat, who is supposed to surrender first?

Because it will not be me.

@Jringo1508 In the long run, absolutely. But in the immediate future, Blue Origin is left without a launch pad at a critical time in the competition for the lunar lander on Artemis 4. It's a huge setback, especially for a company that has not prioritized rapid development.

@martinamcbride In the current environment, the left will make everything partisan. The only way for any event to be nonpartisan is for people stand up to them and refuse to let themselves be defined by those who want to inject politics into everything. You should have been stronger.

@alt_w_v_g Making your wife the villain would definitely increase the counseling costs. Almost certainly not worth the expenditure. Probably would incur some other unbudgeted costs as well.

@SonnyBunch Martina is great. But the rest? Yeah.
