The Trump DOJ has launched a criminal probe into former New York governor and NYC mayoral front-runner Andrew Cuomo over allegations he lied to Congress about decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic
" 'We really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job,' Vance told reporters" - While lying freely about whether the *current* president is capable of doing the job, of course!
J.D. Vance asking for honesty is like a man with no arms asking for a backrub. It will surely benefit him, but it's guaranteed he'll never respond in kind, whether he wants to or not...
It all worked out. The #anxiety turned into a solid plan that kept me on time on track and on course. I got what I needed. It didn't cost quite as much as I #feared. I still have #energy left and I wasn't #exhausted physically or #mentally (though I did have to stop and regroup a couple of times).
Small wins.
I had an insanely good #coffee, and hammered out about 4 pages worth of thoughts. BY HAND. Writing by hand is #liberating. If you keep your #writing "reasonably" neat you can OCR it into a digital document later. Well, I OCR it. Very useful.
Speaking of #anxiety, #mentalhealth and so on.... I must profess to being in the minority when it comes to [the current year].
Or any year.
I've been disillusioned for the better part of the last 30 years. I do not want to "engage" with 'Big P' Politics, or 'small p' politics.
I'm struggling to get support and services for the injuries I suffered from a stroke. You know, typing and using your hands, not being perpetually exhausted, being able to see things in focus, not being over-stimulated by movement or sound (autistic readers are nodding sagely round about now...). It's taking up a lot of my mental time, energy and strength just surviving.
As a wise man once said, "I'm too old for this shit".
I don't have google services running on my phone, so I can't use Racoon for Friendica. Tried. Didn't want to run. Currently using Fedilab but wondering about Tusky etc. Can't decide.
I need to spend more time looking into alternative searches.
The "web" went from SEO blogspam to AI slop in the blink of an eye and it turned functionally useless to literally pointless in moments. #NewYorkMinute
#Struggling with the after effects of a #stroke is incredibly #isolating. I have a #therapy session tomorrow. But that is more a case of "we'll help you find out what care you SHOULD have got and didn't".
@Tom Grzybow It's a Commodore classic. I'll see if I can find it on youtubenuker.lol.... ...and all it can do is say it's not available unless you want to hear it on YouTube. DAMN.
@plan-A @Tom Grzybow Still no go --got an error message which contained this interesting tidbit: "Can't load the video on this Invidious instance. YouTube is currently trying to block Invidious instances"
@plan-A @Tom Grzybow I simply don't have the time right now to fiddle with that or any other stuff, sorry. While I might have been good at coding 30 years ago, I'm certainly not now.
I think it's so groovy now That people are finally gettin' together Yeah it's wonderful now That people are finally gettin' together ....reach out in the darkness....
@Tom Grzybow Well, that was when the Hippies ruled by putting daisies down the barrels of rifles and preached peace and love and understanding like it was the Age of Aquarius. People remember all the rock giants of that era, but rarely Friend & Lover.
@Tom Grzybow Actually I think it's in times like these that we could use lyrics like those to rise again: """"""""""""" I knew a man that I did not care for And then one day, this man gave me a call We sat and talked about things on our mind And now this man, he is a friend of mine
Reach out in the darkness Reach out in the darkness Reach out in the darkness And you may find a friend
I think it's so groovy now That people are finally getting together I thinks it's wonderful and how That people are finally getting together I think it's so groovy now That people are finally getting together I thinks it's wonderful and how That people are finally getting together
Don't be afraid of love Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to love Listen to me... Everybody needs a little love Everybody needs somebody That they can be thinking of
Reach out in the darkness Reach out in the darkness Reach out in the darkness And you may find a friend """"""""""""""""""""""
@Tom Grzybow That, and Merle Haggard didn't help with being proud to be an Okie from Muscogee. That's where even squares can have a ball
"""""""""""""""""""""" We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee We don't take our trips on LSD We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street 'Cause we like living right and being free
We don't make a party out of loving 'Cause we like holding hands and pitching woo We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy Like the hippies out in San Francisco do...
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen Football's still the roughest thing on campus The kids here still respect the college dean
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
Another really wonderful band, which came a little later but has been similarly overlooked is Renaissance. I had two of their albums, back in the day...
A rather old song says that the Wiffenpoofs assembled. Yeah--yet another one before your time, kids...unless you go to a particular Ivy League school whose theme this is.
To the tables down at Mory's, To the place where Louis dwells, To the dear old Temple Bar We loved so well,
Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled With their glasses raised on high, And the magic of their singing casts its spell....
The facility is set to open in 2028 in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, located in French Guiana, a French overseas territory on the northern coast of South America
#Monsterdon Oh yay, somethin' gets to go boom. Def a guy flick. And now the natives are restless, getting out spears because they don't roll with pitchforks & torches.
#Monsterdon I checked the Sexism box when I heard the pearl dreams of those dudes. So one thinks he can buy a few broads, huh. The other one wants to get "his" off the streets. Bastards.

I do not believe there is such a thing as to much coffee. 😁
