I live in a really big building so this is rare for me to have such a normal, human resolution to some problem
Today was a very rare day where something went wrong with my internet, and I found the tech who goofed up the wires in the lobby of my building ... And he actually just fixed it after I told him it was messed up.

The only thing I’m anti is dickheadedness. So occasionally even I am on my shit list.

For all the bravado that rural police like to display, more and more they appear to be weak and easily intimidated. Take this example from Uvalde, er Gem County, Idaho.
Not sure why Idaho's version of Roscoe P. Coltrane doesn't get on the horn to somebody in the big city willing to gather up their law enforcement posse and go serve some justice frontier-style. Maybe he will after giving his share of traffic tickets to out of state drivers to generate some revenue. Unless that interferes with stopping in at the local diner, chatting with Mary Sue, and having a slice of pecan pie a la mode.
(I don't really believe that is the life of rural law enforcement, but every story like this reinforces that stereotype).
Plans for my cedar plant bench are coming together. Can't wait to start this project!
Kid knocks on a door, gets shot twice. Lady turns around in a driveway, gets shot twice. God bless the USA

Imagining a ChatGPT fueled dystopia in which all work emails are needlessly prolonged by AI embellishing the text to make the sender seem more intelligent, but it's okay because recipients all just ask ChatGPT to summarize each email. It is a social faux pas to write directly or informally. People learn how to evaluate if generated emails are written in a way where ChatGPT summaries preserve the essential points.

Libraries when you're homeless.
People talking about libraries, and I'd like to add from long-term experience that if you're homeless, those places are vital. Reading the newspaper while sitting on, y'know, a *chair*, hopefully a drinking fountain (No dehydration? Fancy) reading some books, not being too cold or too hot, lovely.
Oh, and you can sort out official stuff, which is handy when you ain't got an address. There was even a lady at one who liked to share food around. Like, you didn't eat it inside, obviously, but food? Nice.
Hell, just about the only things they didn't have were a place to wash or sleep, but you could learn stuff, rest a little, get out of the weather, not be on your guard all the time, (and can't get arrested, cause you're not 'loitering' in a library) and, here's the good part:
You could send your mind somewhere else. Like, without chemicals. You pick up a book and you just escape. That's priceless if you're homeless.
Which is the perfect price, cause you ain't got money.
A heart. A soul. A mind. That's what a library is. And bless em for existing.
Gonna stop there, cause I'm getting all teary and shit.
Do not believe what locals tell you about your local government, they're exaggerating for sure

If the billions given to Moderna by the federal government were of so little consequence I think they should just give it all back.
