But, and hang with me here, Presidential Elections have a really low R.O.I. Any sensible billionaire knows that the quality investments are in Senators. Once you get one of them elected the chance of them loosing reelection is very low and yet any one of them can put an indefinite hold on any piece legislation and they really have a hold on getting the right kind of people on the courts. Really they should be spending their money more wisely.

Laurie Anderson - Strange Angels

The Middleman! It was 1 hour comedy that played on ABC Family that sadly got canceled after its first season. It was a farcical take on the super spy genre based off the comic books of the same name with Matt Kessler and Natalie freaking Morales. Vampire Ventriloquist Dummies, Zombie Flying Fish, and all Alien Boy Bands. It’s a hilarious send up spy and comic book tropes.

You lucky So-and-So! It’s a heap of fun!

Well for Texas 60’s is darn cold.

Do I wish I mined bitcoin when it was cheap and easy? Or bought Apple stock just before the first iPhone? Or just not stuck my dick in the crazy? Sure I wish I knew then what I know but that’s just the road not taken.

Have I fucked shit up and hurt people I wish I hadn’t? Of course I’m human, but each mistake that broke me also made me put myself back together and I like to think that like a piece of Kitsuni art the remade pieces of me are better then they were before.

But maybe I’m an optimist and like to think that everyone is a work in progress and most choose to be better as they go along, including myself.

Yeah, I’m ME. That about covers it for me.

I think the writers on Ted Lasso got it pitch perfect with Jamie saying “Why would I want to be anything else, I’m me.”

This is why The Good Place is my comfort show. Chidi’s monologue both brakes me and puts me back together. Every moment in the finale is a work of art but that scene on the couch, there just aren’t words.

Every time someone I know passes I watch that whole episode and it helps me find peace.

Low paid workers have demands put on the scarce resource that is wages. If the wages go up, they spend that money in ways that increase productivity.

• THIS!!

Seriously giving poor people more money does more for the economy than any tax cut.

I’ll third or fourth the Penguin pilot Just some amazing acting and writing. The cinematography isn’t up to ‘The Batman’ but it still pretty good.

I’m still digging Agatha All Along but character actress are totally my jam. Debra Jo Rupp and Kathryn Hahn are killing it and the other ladies are also a delight. The writing is good and the production values are top notch It’s a pretty show.

Slow Horses and Bad Monkey are rounding out my viewing. I’ll give both of them thumbs up.

Finally after a death in my family I’m doing what I alway do when I’ve lost someone and rewatching The Good Place to remind myself that we’re just a way of the universe being and we return to it.

“Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it - its height, the way the sunlight refracts as it passes through - and it’s there, you can see it, and you know what it is, it’s a wave. And then it crashes on the shore and it’s gone. But the water is still there.”

It was a quote that I read on lemmy. Someone was talking about dealing with suicidal thoughts and he asked his friend why he shouldn’t kill himself. His friend thought for a minute and then looked at him and said “Mornings are pretty nice.”

It was at that point he realised he shouldn’t be looking for some great reason for some great reason for life and instead just be.

Mornings are pretty nice.

Naw just tattoos on their arms. Why mess with the classics.

/s /s just in case some numpty thinks this is a good idea

I don’t know, you make a lot of good points and I do like your plan. I just dislike being wrong on the internet.

So if I sign up to your newsletter will you accept that as my admitting your probably more right then I am?

Seriously thanks I appreciate the posting.

Well I don’t live there and I haven’t been through the south for over 20 years so I’ll take your word on it. But I don’t like to give anywhere I believe in a full ticket run and maybe a serious run at Florida by the top of the ticket can’t win but could help turn some purple districts a bit more blue. And the Presidency is worth much more than the podium unless she’s got the house too.

So DJT failed to get Mike Johnson to toe the line about forcing a shut down if they didn’t get the voter suppression that he wanted. Sounds like the rest of the party is slipping through his fingers.

I don’t disagree but making the republicans spend money in Florida also prevents them from spending elsewhere.

If Trump says that “It’s too late” she should offer to make it earlier in the day. Sundowning is a legitimate concern for the elderly.
