Thanks bud, I’m trying. Shit ass world to do it in, but them and a lot of their friends give me quite a bit of hope.

I’ve got a Weird Al shirt that everyone confuses for one.

Thing is, I don’t really care about the Kennedy center. I do care about this fucking asshole acting like he owns the entire city and can remodel it with his tacky aesthetic at will. Dude needs to be stopped, like now… This shit is fucking insane and I’m in shock every day that people have no desire to speak about any of this. When you try, you are labeled as disruptive or intolerant (I am intolerant of intolerance to be fair).

Not all of them. I’ve got three school aged kids, one plays guitar and saxophone, one plays clarinet and trumpet, one is just starting the trombone.

If anything, I am seeing the kids push back against this shit. My kids have an ear for and hate ai produced music; they get so angry about “clanker music”. They really value being able to make their own, and I love the constant noise of real instruments being practiced in my house.

Lots don’t care, but there are still many pockets of kids who hate all this as much as we do, and are pursuing a more analog lifestyle.

Belive me, I’ve tried. I’m an asssitant scoutmaster for my kids troop, and we camp about monthly in the summer. So, I’ve got lots of phone free weekends behind me. I’m also got kids in sports too, so go to games and meets.

I’m taking steps but I still have work to do.

I wish I had your brain. I feel like unless I have a constant stream of information coming into my brain, I might go insane.

It’s awful, and unhealthy, and I’m trying to figure out how to escape this paranoid insanity, but it’s what I’ve got until I can figure out the fix. Reminds me, need to schedule my next therapist appointment.

I just have to say, I really enjoy your writing style. Fun project, great post!

It’s because we have the worst possible people to steward us though this transition that is being forced on us.

I don’t know. SI does actually have a certain ring to it. Stolen Intelligence.

Honestly, with the caliber of contractors this fucking clown selects, it will either tear itself down, or will need to be about 17 seconds after competion.

Living though history sucks. What is happening in the world is not ok, I have no idea what’s going to happen, but there will be somber lessons taught about all this in the future.

It was someone in a higher position than I, and I’m 4 months in to the role. So…

It’s old, but I taught myself to cook watching Good Eats. His stuff isn’t always the best, and some of his methods are out of date now. He makes you understand what you are doing though, not just showing recipes.

I’m re-watching through with my kiddo now as he learns to cook and it still holds up. He’s in middle school and just started a home cooking class and has been cooking circles around his classmates.

This is so that he can call it a national emergency and bypass all laws, requirements and such.

No, not a chance. They need to make these criminals accountable, and if they can’t, they need to invent new laws to lock them away forever (no joke, I don’t care how unconstitutional it is, never stopped the current administration). Things need to change, this has to be a lesson.

I doubt it will happen though. 4 seconds after winning, if the dems get power, they will once again discover decorum and will claim it to be their most precious asset.

But even then I won’t despair, because at least a slightly less criminal enterprise will be in control and we can vote for better ones next time.

This of course will never happen though, because instead of incremental changes for good in the right direction, moron Americans will fall for the next “one weird trick” when a single election doesn’t solve every problem in the world.

Eh, maybe some despair after all.

I keep trying to be seen for therapy, or to get a diagnosis. All they ever do is prescribe me another brain pill that does nothing but gives me hemroids.

Mental health in the US is completely fucked, efforts aren’t made, unless it’s for a pill they can sell you.
