  Ken Paxton is such an unfuckingbelievable piece of shit. I expect he'll get elected...because Texas is a shithole...but it sure would be nice if the earth opened up and swallowed him whole.

  OK. I have finally eaten poutine. Welp. I uh...think I'll let other folks enjoy that. :)

  People who can be bribed with $5,000 for a vote probably don't deserve to have one.

  I still miss my mountain cabin in New Mexico. Especially in the fall. Herds of elk casually strolling through my yard. Wild horses hanging out in the lot across the street. Wild turkeys bobbing around. Bears doing bear stuff, mountain lions screaming, coyotes hunting in a pack and from their yips you knew which ridge they were on...

  Also, the answer to the stipulation that Ukraine give up a single square foot of land in order to secure "peace" with Russia is: Fuck no and fuck you. "Just let your abusive husband beat on you a little bit and everything will be fine". NO

  Dumbfucks out here saying "you can't live without AI". Motherfuckers, I'm older than the personal computer. I'm a lot older than the Internet. I don't need a sparkly chatbot to tell me lies. It's not sentient. It barely functions as a set of instructions to accomplish any task. My speak & spell did better work than this bullshit. Yes, I do function every day without the use of this crap and will continue to do so. I don't need it and neither do you.

  One thing I miss about New Mexico: It's chile roasting season. So good.

  My favorite ship in The Expanse? The tugboats. I love those little guys. :)

  I keep dreaming about my house in Austin. It was my first house, I loved it and was supposed to live there forever. I miss it so much. I don't know why I have been so homesick lately. I'm never going back to Texas.

  Got a few more coats to go on the throat plates to complete the pattern, then this all dries and cures, I run a very sharp blade to separate the pieces that got painted together from each other, then several glossy enamel topcoats to seal everything. Once that cures, the mechanical guts go back inside, I rewire the motor and get it all running again. :) Getting closer to finishing this one! #VintageSewing #Sewing

  It is a mistake for Ukraine to give the US its drone tech. A huge one.

  Got some cleanup and more touch up to do, but I am super tired now. Need to stop for today. Edit: This is 100% painted freehand. 1926 Singer 128 Pride machine. Once all the painting is done, I'll put her all back together and get her purring like a kitten. All my machines will be in full working order because I don't see the point otherwise. :) #VintageSewing #Sewing #SingerSewing

  It drives me up a wall when folks treat Asimov's three laws of robotics as fact. IT'S FICTION, FOLKS. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FICTION.

  I'm just so tired. Mentally tired. The constant assault on / insult to my intelligence has worn me completely out.

  So, space Karen wants to make an "historically accurate" version of "The Odyssey". Is someone going to tell him? Should we tell him? Nah.

  Ok. Here's a short little video of the Singer 237 with her new paint job. Every brush stroke applied by me. It's not perfect, but what is? This all has to cure thoroughly over the next few days. I will then remove the nose cover and top cover, touch up those areas, let it dry overnight, and then begin the topcoat process. Enamel clear coat is going on top of the acrylic. This is fine as long as you're not rushing the acrylic cure. Anyway, once this is off the workbench, I'll sta...

  Wait. Stephen Miller is saying other people who don't agree with him "look weird"? UM.

  Spent the day with my boy. Took him to Aldi's and got him a cart full of groceries, washed his clothes, treated him to tacos, and generally just loved on him. Life is hard, but he's got backup. :)

  Final seal coat is now on the 1946 Singer 128. Let her dry outside and then bring it in to cure for about a week. :) #SingerSewing #Sewing #VintageSewing

  We are now at 1000 grit sanding sponge on the 1926 Singer 128. 2 more steps to go with the sanding then I prep her for primer. :) #VintageSewing #Sewing #SingerSewing

  But seriously, McConnell is probably in a coma, or dead, but his office says nothing because they want to hold onto power until the last possible second before they are found out. This ploy has been used many times over the course of history by hateful despots and their handlers. I'm not the least bit surprised by this.

  Folks are gonna need to stop with the "grandma on the computer" to mean uneducated users tropes soon. I was writing and debugging code to a cassette tape drive before a lot of folks who say this nonsense were even born. I have built my own computers from the case up. My first computer class in college was COBOL. I hard coded websites before there were any tools to do it with. I'm 52. What I find is that most of the yunguns have no fucking idea how they work and couldn't...
