Not drunk enough for this shitshow. Engineer, malcontent, subversive, misanthrope. Unconstrained by ideology or reality. All my nouns retain amateur status.
Preemptive twitter apology:
And if I offended you
Oh I'm sorry
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing
Fuck you!

@agraybee No civilizations with technology as advanced as that in Star Wars would have failed to invent something as basic as guard rails around yawning chasms.
@NoiseesoiN If you do go up there, you should already be trained on the safety protocols to not fall to an early demise. If you do fall, you clearly needed more training.
I’m deeply embarrassed we haven’t made it painfully explicit enough to you knobheads we don’t care about your ignorant opinions. If we had, you’d keep them to your fucking selves.
Typical progressive policy issue:
1. Commission a study asking if you "have ever been thirsty during the past year"
2. Announce that 37% of Americans "lack access to water"
3. Point out that many Americans live in "water deserts" with insufficient bottled water choices
@IMAO_ There is a consulting company down here that does safety training for oil & gas companies that pushed the idea for years. Some companies (looking at you, SLB) require it because of this training which is based on one study with a very specific parking layout that nobody has.
we talk a lot about institutions being skinsuited tho everyone carries on as if they they were the same as they once were.
it occurs to me this applies hardest to governments and peoples.
the US government, the UK government, on and on have no substantial institutional continuity with the entities we traditionally associate with those labels who generated the prestige of the organizations. the presidency is debauched, congress is castrated and vestigial, the court profaned, the bureaucracy metastatic.
similarly our notions of "americans." what is an "american" today? what have they to do with the people who fought the revolution? who conquered the frontier and the world? who bore the long twilight struggle, even?
it seems to me very little. the blood is grown thin and saeculum has done the rest.
we have forgotten the face of our father.
Knowing California, it's a trick to get you to pay taxes to California for the years you've been gone. If you vote, they'll come at you for the back taxes.
@AaronBlake If it’s baseless suspicion, why do I, a long time Virginia resident, have a live ballot for the California primary?
This despite repeatedly informing the state that I left (over ten years ago)?
At one point, AAFES stupidly thought carrying Jane Fonda workout tapes would be a good idea. They were quickly disabused of that notion. Lots of people still care about Hanoi Jane.
No one complained when Sean Penn met with Zelenskyy or Ben Stiller or Jane Fonda who, during an actual war with actual American military dead injured or captured, met with and gave aid and comfort to an actual enemy. That was OK. That was different. See? https://t.co/MPv3knrK0j
