  • The number of people still mad at Biden…

    I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that’s besides the point.

    The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people’s loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that’s apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.

    I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.


  • My primary use is photo editing for a photography hobby. I shoot wildlife and upload photos to iNaturalist. I shoot sports for a local junior college and an adult baseball league.

    I don’t watch a ton of movies, but it also serves as my Plex server. I leave it off unless I want to watch something though.

    There are games on it, but I rarely get that itch anymore. In my teens and 20s, 1000 hours a year would have been a slow year. It’s probably more like 0-100 a year now.
