Dean Phillips is saying President Biden is a threat to democracy because he's unhappy about the Democratic primary process. This feels like 2016 all over again. He and his little hurt feelings can go fall in a hole somewhere. The stakes are too high for this kind of nonsense. #BidenHarris2024

When I worked at a university, I attended several active shooter training sessions. Many of the faculty and staff came to view an active shooter incident as quite possible, almost inevitable, and we wanted to be as prepared as possible. Back then I had a plan if necessary.

Trump said he wouldn't be a dictator - "except for Day One". Anyone who aspires to be a dictator for a day? That day would be "today," one after another. #NotOneDay

Every now and then I get a flurry of phantom notifications. I've decided it's a sign that Bouzy and the team are hard at work making Spoutible better and better. Notifications? Let it snow!

My new Spoutible activity: trying to guess what the news of the day is from the words in the tidepool.

I'm feeling pretty darned proud of myself. I just sent off some financial data for genentech to consider adding me to their program for access to their wonder drug - and the thing is I FIGURED OUT HOW TO SEND A FAX FROM MY COMPUTER! Feeling pretty doggone accomplished. Also old.

I wasn't sure why Governor Newsom decided to debate Governor DeSantis, but I'm glad he did! I also wasn't aware it was going to be on Fox News. He was a great advocate for the Biden/Harris administration!

So... it's snowing here in southeastern Washington. I'm not sure I'm ready for the white stuff yet!

So, my doc and I are agreed - the autoimmune condition that's been in remission for five years is creeping back. Boo. Thank goodness for prednisone to help turn back the aches and pains and other symptoms until we can get a dose of immunosuppressant on board.

I could probably estimate how desperate the GOP is for fund raising by plotting the number of campaign texts and emails I get from them over a set period of time. Today was a trifecta! Emails from Trump, Scalise, and some unknown Black republican running in Alabama.

Happiness is remembering I have eggnog in the fridge to use in my espresso. Nummy!

I've got turkey and potatoes cooking sous vide. I know the potatoes will be yummy and I am pretty confident about the turkey. But the downside is the house doesn't smell wonderful from roast turkey. Hopefully the turkey will be as tender and juicy as promised and make up for it. 🤞

Happy Thanksgiving, Spoutible Family! I appreciate you all, and especially @cbouzy for hosting our family gathering here!

My local CSA farm will be dropping off my order of fruits and veggies this afternoon. Definitely better than all the horror stories I'm seeing of people at the grocery stores!

If you are in Texas, please help me find this pupper a home. I cannot keep her, and all the shelters are full and will kill her. She was abandoned by her asshole people.

This afternoon the House approved a continuing resolution with a vote of 336 to 95. All but two Democrats supported it; 93 (!) Republicans opposed it. Imagine my surprise when 2 hours later, I received this email solicitation on behalf of Speaker Johnson.

I like the new "Viral" feed button that shows the most liked spouts in the prior 24 hours! I hadn't noticed it until I saw the email from Bouzy describing the new feature. Thanks, @cbouzy !

Ohio Republicans tried unsuccessfully to change the threshold for approving the constitutional amendment that would protect reproductive rights to 60%. I hope the ultimate vote tally puts the approval above 60%. That would be sweet.

I love this tree in my backyard - the color of the leaves go from yellow to dark, dark red. It's really striking in full sunlight. Happy fall, y'all!

Every state has restrictions on campaigning at polling places. Here's a link for reference to each state's laws as of April 01st 2023: https://www.ncsl.org/elect...
Violating these laws is a form of election interference, and is illegal.
Report it.

It's simultaneously comforting and unsettling when your doc puts you on a fast track to check out symptoms of possible relapse of an autoimmune condition. Okee dokee, doc! Labs first thing tomorrow!
