My wife loves Wacoal bras. A couple years ago, she finally found one of their bras in a pretty blue, instead of the normal beige.

They called the color “goblin blue” which of course made her feel great.

Unfortunately for veterans, they aren’t risking their lives for their country. They’re risking their lives for the special interests of corporate oligarchs who couldn’t care less about them.

What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?

Do what the founding fathers did.

Sic semper tyrannis.

Now I’m on a watch list.

My wife is a teacher, so we use her healthcare, but I still peek in at the healthcare at my job when enrollment comes along, just to be diligent.

It went up 20% this year, from $600 to $720. If you make $30K a year and got a 3% cost of living adjustment, you make less this year than last year from healthcare alone.

Food, gas, rent, cars, childcare, utilities, everything is up. I guess it’s cool that US steel or something might be doing well, and the stock market is up, but that minimally affects the day to day of most people.

My guy, Biden blocked a railroad workers strike because it endangered corporate interests, and he didn’t give them a key piece they were asking for: paid sick leave.

I love that the only thing standing between him and sexually asualting people is social media. If it wasn’t for Tom and MySpace taking social media to the masses, this guy would be a pervert. GeoCities was a thing, so he’s not a weird, masculinity obsessed rapist. We’re so lucky.

Every 4 years, hundreds of millions of people set their conscience to the side and continue to vote for the thing they’ll complain about until the next time, when they do it all again.

I see lots of people talking about how bad this is, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about it in light of Trump’s utter mishandling of Hurricane Maria.

It’s been 7 years but it’s absolutely salt in the wound.

Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.

It’s sad how much this will hurt good people who work for the Washington Post and how little this will affect Bezos.

I think they think Donald Trump is the standard. It’s important to remember that he isn’t. That’s an easy comparison, and some roadkill wins that contest. Being better than the worst isn’t enough of a selling point. 2016 proved that. Be better.

So many options for the title:

Jiminy Cricket is a Putin plant.

America’s Collective Conscience: Misguided or Manchurian Candidate?

Ask not what your country can do for genocide, ask what genocide can do for your country.

This is so much satire that it’s a little hard to tell if it’s satire.

But, if the goal isn’t necessarily to win the election, only to absolve yourself of blame if you lose the election, then blaming 3rd party voters is the stance for you.

Could it be a poor political platform, or just not even campaigning in the state? Maybe it’s just not being appealing enough to the 40% of the electorate that doesn’t vote. Couldn’t be.

I feel like all the hate for 3rd parties is the same as the hate for immigrants. It’s all redirection and obfuscation.

He needed 2 or 3 years to explore student loans. Maybe this is more complicated, so it will take infinitely longer.

Here’s the one I have:

I have another Logitech one that cost about $25.

I really, really like it. They’re really durable, easy for a kid to use, and pretty inexpensive.

Only con is if you drop it and the ball pops out, it can roll under the couch.

I use a HTPC. Using a traditional mouse is the worst. For a long time I used a Mac Mini because the Apple Bluetooth trackpad is the only external trackpad I’ve ever used that’s any good.

Then I got a Bluetooth trackball mouse. It’s by far my favorite. It’s rugged, easy to toss around, and it just lives on a couch arm.

The only steaming device I have is a Chromecast that’s exclusively used to turn on and off the TV.

As a pretty left person who lives in Tennessee, please get rid of it. Anytime I have this conversation with folks on the right, I always point out that there are more Republican voters in California than Texas. That usually gets them to concede.

Perhaps the strongest argument that it is God punishing sinful states. The old switcheroo right there.
