  Wouldn't it be interesting if Pike's doctors refuse to release her on the grounds that doing so violates their Hippocratic oath? #USPol

  And while I’m at it, businesses shouldn’t get a say in the statewide public school curriculum. That they do is just more evidence that “education” is intended to turn out obedient, nonthinking workers. Not much has changed since this concept was first invented.

  Local “business leader” publishes book on how to make work “worth it” to employers and employees. Book launch was held at the local exclusive country club. Bad optics, and probably a shitty book. There’s nothing between the ears of “business leaders.”

  If AI is so cool then they should let it run their companies.

  Some good news: fewer ants today. I took some measures yesterday and they seem to be working.

  Well, tonight’s gone to hell. The ants are indeed back (one just gave me the finger). I just discovered the horizontal pipe from the left kitchen sink had been detached from the drain for apparently some time now (got a fan aimed at the cabinet to dry it out). I’m drinking. How’s YOUR evening?

  I think members of Congress should be required to adhere to the new Medicaid work requirements…and then some. I doubt many of them have real jobs.

  This person on Charlotte Talks describing how to deal with ageism in hiring practices may not realize that they're really admitting corporate jobs are shitty jobs and not worth having. I'm including academic administration because it is basically a corporate job.

  The longer we tolerate Fascism the harder it will be for us to exterminate it.

  I think it's funny to hear about workplaces "requiring" employees to use AI. I was "required" to use Microsoft Office in my former academic workplace and I never complied. I used Star Office (as it was called in those days) and of course LaTeX. I dared anyone to look at a PDF and tell me how I created it. No one ever could, and they hated that. I'm proud of my spine.

  I'm in my car, counting Flock cameras as I move about from my house to the mall to the grocery store to Barnes & Noble and so forth. Catawba County has gone overboard with Flock. The HDR published my letter to the editor but it won't do any good.

  Elderly lady made a substantial takeout order. Regular customer Kenny told me to tell the owner to bring him the check. Owner said the lady's order had already been taken care of by another customer. That's how we roll here. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife

  The only things I like about summertime are seeing Orion rise at 5 AM EDT at the end of July and seeing my wild morning glories grow and bloom as summer turns to autumn.

  Do people really believe that AI "thinks" and "learns" like humans do? I just can't understand how one could be so gullible.

  Overheard yesterday at the diner: “You ain't seen an ass whoopin' yet.” #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife

  I'm to the point where "punch a Nazi" and "punch a Republican" are synonymous.

  The NCGOP is attempting to prevent anyone except for Republicans from winning elections and citizens are just letting it happen. #NCnews

  The NCGOP also wants to exempt law enforcement agencies from official state procurement procedures. Nothing shady about that. Okay, but also make all educational institutions exempt. Never in a million years. #NCnews

  "Tough choices" is always code for "some nonsense conservative bullshit about to drop". No exceptions.

  Know whom to ask for medical advice? Your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor. Know what NOT to ask for medical advice? A chatbot. Godamighty I can't believe the things some people do.

  I want to see SCOTUS explicitly rule on whether or not robbing a bank is legal or illegal. Will the Fascists rule it legal? #IWantToSeeSCOTUSRule #USPol

  You know, I just can't see paying three figures to a local nonprofit to hear an already wealthy person, a celebrity, yammer on about something or other. Something else I just can't wrap my brain around.

  Got one long asphalt driveway crack de-grassed this morning. May try to de-grass another before any rain gets here.

  A pox on my beloved NC-based Lowe's hardware for having no human cashiers available and of all the automated checkouts open only one accepting cash. To Hell with you!
