Both parties have held the debt ceiling hostage as a political tool. For example, in 2011, the Republicans did it. But in 2013, the Republicans did it. On the other hand, this year it is the Republicans who are doing it.

Brother-in-law bought himself a truck that my 5:11 husband can't climb into, and I love my brother-in-law to death but he is never living this down and I will find myriad ways to roast him over that truck for as long as he owns it.

It's really jarring watching how right-wing media regularly scrape social media for super unhinged takes that basically nobody agrees with, writes entire articles implying they are commonly held view among the group they want to attack, then they use the outrage generate from the article to undermine the rights of the entire group based on a straw man they built from a single post.

OK Jaws, was that necessary? Good thing for shortcut hotkeys I guess.

Good morning everybody and welcome to Tuesday. I'm drinking coffee and doing braille display maintenance this morning, along with sorting some Microsoft Word fuckery with a large document. Otherwise lots of work to get to today. The coctail didn't happen last night because I fell asleep, but ingredients are in the fridge for when I get some downtime.

Sen. Marco Rubio just wrote this editorial regarding a potential TikTok ban.

It's apparent to me that his gripe isn't with TikTok's surveillance or algorithms or data collection per se.

It's that a Chinese company is doing it.

Apparently, if TikTok were American, they would be peachy keen.

But Chinese? That's bad!

I don't like TikTok, and I believe it's generally an evil corporation. Yet I also dislike how Sen. Rubio is pushing yellow peril.

Thanks so much everybody for all the birthday wishes. I have a very full tummy right now after my birthday lunch, which was a steak with all the trimmings except no bacon on the potatoe. Saving the dessert for later to go with the coctail.

Damn. I was going to pour myself a Moscow Mule to have with lunch, but I forgot to put the rest of the ingredients in the fridge to chill overnight. Guess that'll have to wait till dinner.

Good morning. "There's a rickety car outside that sounds like it's going to fall apart any minute now. It's my birthday today so I'm taking it as light as possible and just being lazy and listening to graphic audio. Oh and drinking coffee.
