“I wanted a tower, so I built one. France has a tower, and it’s so bad, they call it The Awful Tower. My tower won’t be awful, it’ll be the best. It’ll be so great that people will fight over it. And on it. Anyway, I gotta go take a shit.”

Just because they know it irritates smarter people. They’d proudly eat actual shit if they thought they could get you to smell their breath.

Volusia County is like the Florida of Florida, it’s where Daytona (of Daytona 500 and Daytona Bike Week) is, and it’s one of just 4 or 5 places in FL that allow driving on the beaches.

A woman was hit by a car on this beach in March, a 3 year old was hit in April, and now this (almost) 2 year old, and that’s just this beach, just this year, so far.

If you’re still wondering why this is allowed to continue (and will be indefinitely), watch this short interview with a Volusia County Council member, and see on his face how many fucks he gives:

Plus one for each big toe

The light would make it easier to find, at least

I’m reading it as, when starting on some new project or goal, there are all of these preparatory things that have to happen first, and the urge to perfectly complete all of those preparations gets in the way of actually starting the actual project/goal.

Those were the days

Mm, probably flat, and room-temperature, too. The perfect beverage.

Another example atop the pile of millions of others, that a lot (most?) people are stupid and susceptible to even very flimsy propaganda.

I think it’s like how The One Ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. This level of wealth, or the trappings that come with it, have mutated and perverted Elon into something that only echoes some scant memory of his former self.

Could be a mixed-breed? I’m no expert, but things like that do happen.

Either way, what an interesting and special little genetic anomaly you’ve found. I had a cat whose belly – and only her belly – was covered in fine curls. Straight everywhere else. Never seen anything like it before or since.

Lol, maybe you already knew, but there is/was a subreddit called “RonPerlmanCats”

If a jury of my peers finds me guilty of any crime, no matter how obvious it is that I did it, and I then find out they’re all a bunch of cow fuckers, I will be filing for an appeal.

I’m sorry if I missed the point of this story, it was a long day for me.

Lil’ whoopsie-daisies

Studies have shown that it significantly helps reduce overwhelm to break up the remainder-of-your-lifetime’s worth of menial labor into smaller, much less soul-destroying chunks; such as a “week” or “day” or “hour.”

Exactly seven times, every time, or else I might get a disease or become mortally injured in a freak accident.

I keep coming back to Sienna Skies’ cover of Fireflies (originally by Owl City).

Kamala Harris Backdoors The Supreme Court for ‘Slamming Racism’

Doing something for the good of people I don’t even know? Sounds dangerously close to socialism! /s

As someone who works in public education, I 💯% agree, but do want to add that it’s not the students, parents, teachers, or admins who want that.

Every standardized test we do (and there are a lot of them) is an exhausting and stressful operation that feels more like a distraction from school, rather than an assessment of its efficacy.

The school boards are the policy makers; and at least around here, they’re all gunning for local political offices next, if they’re not already one-foot-on-the-platform.
