reading Tom Clancy is like reading a Jane's Defence Weekly bound set interspersed with dialogue written by someone who has learned how conversations work from Charles Bronson movies
read it by looking for the quotation marks indicating dialogue and skip the rest (unless you love apache helicopters)

(laura) elsen @eilsen_baddiedid i enjoy it? it's like reading an action movie that's been annotated to death with boring technical details that add very little to the story so of course i did. and i feel extremely guilty about that.12:45 PM - Apr 18, 2024

Sometimes it’s like you’re just waiting around to see when Dani and Aaron show up to start riffing.

I certainly appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t think I can claim that. What about Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem? I’m sure people love going to see him.
dani @danismashingitYou’re very welcome.08:41 PM - Apr 18, 2023
While you’re here, have you ever considered putting “the only kind of doctor people actually look forward to seeing” on your business cards?
I’ve been thinking about this a lot.

hey nerds when you're talking to your friend president biden could you please ask him to either reduce or eliminate the 301 China Tariff on aluminum products (it's 25%)
it's ridiculous, hurts small manufacturers and doesn't make sense (China makes 32x the aluminum that US does)

For reasons, states still license & regulate pro wrestling as if it’s an actual sport.
Oklahoma has warned AEW from allowing trans wrestler Nyla Rose from wrestling her fellow women.
Nyla is a fantastic wrestler and a former AEW Women’s Champ

It is Arab Heritage Month and I am looking at the history of Arab Canadians in Canada.
Today, it is John Hanna, the first person of Lebanese-descent to play in the NHL!
John Hanna was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia on April 5, 1935.

Every single Canadian read this and thought “yeah, that tracks - hockey player takes it back home and ends up drunk at a small town high school party” and then thought “wait, it’s just April - it’s too early for them to be taking it home for the summer for drinking/weird sex things”

Google settled with Canada on a similar law so I expect they will do that eventually in this case.
Meta on the other hand are still being whiny babies.

i also require direction about what i am or am not supposed to do with “this mess” preferably made of something that looks like part of an old barn
Honey and pepper and roses en déshabillé @DianeLMajorI need ones to tell me which areas in my house are the kitchen, bath, and pantry. Also ones for the bath that tell me to wash my hands. Without these things, I carom around the place confused, washing my hands in the kitchen - and it gets worse...08:45 PM - Apr 15, 2024

there is a 100% chance that this will be weaponized against disabled students
The Salt Lake Tribune @sltribParents and disability rights advocates say they fear an incoming Utah law will further isolate students with disabilities from their classmates, and possibly violates current federal policy.04:58 PM - Apr 15, 2024Law aiming to protect teachers could harm students with disabilities, opponents claim
Parents and disability advocates fear an incoming law will further isolate students with disabilities from their classmates, and potentially violate current federal policy. But lawmakers and education leaders say it will help better protect teachers in the classroom.

If you live somewhere FlashFood is supported, you can save a ton of $.
Since we started using it about a year and a half ago we’ve saved close to $10,000 on food costs.
We never would have been able to buy the $25 steaks we had tonight otherwise.
That plate of food was $3.25 CAD/$2.36 USD
