Last night, I attempted to crosspost “Election Day, Eh?” to Bluesky, and I was shocked to see the formatting of that post. This is probably my fault, so some investigation is probably required. The post on Bluesky showed as the title, followed by as much of the post as it could, followed by an embedded link with exactly the same thing. It looked extremely ugly, and if I were a casual reader I wouldn’t click it. There must be a way to do this so that I can write a sentence in a preview message, and that posts along with the embedded link. I’m sure it’s got to be there, I’m just fulfilling my PEBKAC quota.

But If You Tell The Truth? We Can’t Have THAT!
The fact that El Naranja doesn’t want Amazon to display the additional cost of an item because of the tariffs should cause all kinds of alarm bells.
It won’t. We never do anything until it’s just past too late.
We’re the children of Reagan’s America, where the money will get down here eventually. Any time now.

I turned the comments back off on this site. I knew there was a reason I had them off. I have the Jetpack App on my phone, and when the comment spammers found my site, my phone blew the fuck up. I had everything set to be manually approved before they posted, so that is both the good and bad news. Anyway, we’re back to you getting your own site if you want to respond to any of my half-baked, meaningless babble.
We shall never speak of this again.

Election Day, Eh?
Today is the Canadian election, and of course El Naranja couldn’t resist going down the 51st state road again. Every time I hear him talk about Canada being the 51st state, I remember how Saddam Hussein tried to make Kuwait the 19th Province of Iraq.
On a related note, if I was Pierre Polievre, I’d be really pissed at Trump. The Conservatives were poised to win, and win big at the next election. This has done nothing but hand Canada back to the Liberals for another 5 years.
ETTD.

The Verbs: April 2015
Watching: Bosch Legacy, Season 3
Bosch, for my money, is one of the best shows on TV. Legacy is the last season that Harry Bosch will be the main character, although he may be in the spinoffs as a side character. If you haven’t caught this, it’s on Amazon Prime. Watch this.
Reading: Careless People, Sarah Wynn-Williams
Memoir about life behind the scenes at Meta/Facebook. Here is your periodic reminder that Facebook was not invented for altruistic purposes, and Mark Zuckerberg has never done the right thing without being dragged to it.
Jamming: Tracy Chapman, Self titled.
There is no better time to listen to this album than RIGHT. NOW.
Podding: Amicus, with Dahlia Lithwick.
Dahlia Lithwick has been covering the Supreme Court forever. I trust what she has to say about the Court, and the law.
Working: I’m suffering from a bit of second thoughts about the video. I’ve scripted three separate versions of something ad aborted halfway through. So, taking another whack at it.
