If you are married nothing good will come from staying out drinking. Do your drinking at home. Nothing good happens after 2100 at the bar. Save money, your marriage, and career.
Over my nearly three decades in the Army, the biggest career killer I’ve seen is alcohol.
One of my best got caught up in an alcohol-related incident this weekend and has a lot to lose.
Unfortunately, he is now in a non-negotiable situation and going to get crushed.
I’m not against having a good time and drinking, but the earlier in life you figure out that drinking is like walking a tightrope, the better off you’ll be.
Holy shit, @adamcarolla fell for it too!
She is why California has turned into shit. Dumb women who are useful idiots

The quoted post is satire. It is one of a series of fake "I voted" posts by conservative satirist Julie Borowski, who wrote: "My voting posts are satire. They're not real. I did not vote for any of those candidates." twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10…
Two thoughts about the pending AI craziness:
1. Everyone's deleted secrets are about to be undeleted. I'm curious which famous important people will be first.
1.a. This is wikileaks on steriods.
2. Since the left recently said they planned to imprison Elon, and he has some hefty AI and compute, do you think he has an AI doomsday device? Just in case?
2.a. How many billionaires are out there building AI swarm armies, just in case?
2.b. Does this mean a non-state actor with AI and compute is a kind of a peer competitor?
It is becoming f*cking dangerous: The Claude Code tool found absolutely every shot that I considered permanently deleted from my iPhone. Data spanning 4 years of photos and videos was continuously stored in a disguised system cache. Every application with permissions to the file system had direct access to them
I synced my smartphone with a MacBook to create a backup. Then I ran the Claude Code vulnerability scan mentioned in my previous post. The scanner unexpectedly flagged a folder that I had not even asked it to check, a system directory named PhotoData/Thumbnails containing over 183,000 items. Pictures, video clips, screenshots, absolutely everything I had gotten rid of
Archives for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Shots I deleted instantly after taking them. Photos for which I manually cleared the Recently Deleted section. Originals that I double checked and erased a second time just to be safe. All of it was still stored there
What exactly was found in that cache:
A random photo of a recipe from a cookbook from 2023
Screenshots of shopping lists and notes with daily chores
Failed takes and blurry landscape shots deleted right during a walk
A screenshot of a bus schedule from 2022 captured for just a few seconds
Photos of price tags and store labels deleted right at the checkout
A saved meme image from social media that I deleted back in 2024
A total of 173,521 files. Some of them in original resolution. Everything neatly sorted chronologically starting from 2021
When you delete media on an iPhone, iOS simply removes it from your gallery and trash. In reality, iOS keeps compressed copies in the Spotlight search index directory. That is precisely how fast keyphrase search works on your phone. Apple never clears this area, not after a month, not after a year. Claims of permanent deletion are simply untrue
I decided to check the list of software that has permission to access Files and Folders. It turned out there were 19 of them: weather utilities, QR code scanners, PDF readers, and even an old flashlight app installed in 2021. Any of these applications could freely read the data I considered destroyed all this time
I cut down the list of these applications from 19 to 5 in just a couple of clicks
The beauty of modern technology is that it allows us to recall what we have long forgotten

I just voted for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan because I support Medicare for All.
Why should insurance companies run our healthcare when the government would do a much better job?
The government has an excellent track record of providing services with efficiency, transparency, and affordability. And why does competition matter anyway?
One step closer to communism! ✊
I remember hearing something about situations like this before the jump #aatw
The machine is broken. Go buy ammo.
Riots spreading across Europe. A new migrant caravan heading toward the border. States refusing to verify voter ID. Bureaucratic coups.
Stevie Wonder can see what is happening; they are all in on causing chaos and stealing the election.
And when they do?
They’ve vowed to kill the filibuster, pack the Court, and do away with the Electoral College, thus stealing every election from now on.
All while prosecuting and persecuting anyone remotely associated with the Trump administration.
Their words, not mine.
This is Third World politics, and anyone willing to sit at home and let it happen is a fucking coward.
We aren’t asking you to go fight in Tehran, we’re asking you to get off the couch.
Cuz if you can’t do that you might as well go ahead and join a polycule in Williamsburg.
