Listening to a federal government official in this meeting say “SI” instead of ‘AI’ and it’s making me ears bleed.

Took a car instead of the train this morning and instantly remembered why I prefer the train.

Did my annual physical today. Doctor said my heart was beating too fast. I told her it’s because I was thinking about my wife. Apparently that is not an acceptable response in the medical community. But my wife is hot. What am I supposed to do.

God this is good. Miss this man.
Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

Sadly we also play down to our competition when playing unranked teams. 🤘
The number of ranked wins each team has this year!

Technology has advanced to the point where my phone can recognize my face, predict my next song and navigate me across the country. But it still can’t tell me why I walked into this room.

When you truly, positively, absolutely do not understand facts or statistics.
Replying to @bristevens
Whether it's cherry-picked or not doesn't change the fact that it's a fact, genius. I can't believe I had to explain that to you. LOL!

I finally got my trans mailer. Well, the students at my address did. We were starting to feel left out of the transparent false-flag rage bating.
Let's recap the developments in the mailers that were sent to voters purporting to represent a transgender advocacy group. A thread 🧵. 1. As early voting started, mailers purporting to represent the Transgender Education Network of Texas were sent to an untold number of Texans.

Cheesecake Factory populism is so weird to me because the rise of chain restaurants created over-the-top, replicable dining experiences, which eventually put the final squeeze on mom-and-pop restaurants, such as the US version of trattorias. I would argue those family-owned neighborhood businesses made the dining experience feel more special and pulled communities together. The shift to chain restaurants homogenized American life and concentrated corporate power. Strange to frame corporate consolidation as "populism."

I know the point is the Saddam Hussein aesthetic and that he could have named any national restaurant, but I’m going to take this opportunity to point out that Cheesecake Factory thinks it’s much better than it is. It’s fine. The cheesecake is good. Everything else is mid.

Today is a mathematical date we won't see again for 78 years. 10/24/26 10² + 24² = 26² It's called a Pythagorean Triple Day. There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples, but only 12 dates this century satisfy the equation.Today is the last. Next one: March 4, 2105.

I’ve got some J6er in my mentions trying to fight me. I’m beginning to think I should stop poking him: it’s not nice to make fun of people too dumb to respond in kind.

SandSnake#2 wanted me to review the standard algorithm for multiplication. Wondering WTF that was, I looked it up. It’s just standard multiplication that they gave a stupid name.
