I'm enjoying watching moron right wingers take to the streets on a socialist holiday. Gloomtube is up and running.

I walked to downtown and back today and didn't see any commotion or protesters, which is surprising given how conservative Colorado Springs is.

I've started incentivizing long weekly walks with a reward of buying weed. It's a good system, and no one gives a gently caress if you smoke a joint while walking around in public.

To think people wanted daily press briefings back, and we just had a solid month of Trump doing them. You'd think we've suffered enough already.

One of the Falwells runs Samaritan's Purse. They put up at tent hospital in Central Park a few weeks back. I assume so they could take the faithful money off the hands of covid victims to guide them into their kingdom in heaven, and drum up publicity for donations from their loyal band of idiot followers.

"Come on down to Samaritan's Purse tent hospital, where we'll pray the sickness away and treat you with our complimentary holy water, only $14.95 per bottle!"

The woman that lived in my apartment last was a contributor. I still get mail for her from Samaritan's Purse. She also didn't change her address on her registration, so I get her Denver tollway tickets with good sounding warnings on the envelope like, "vehicle registration blocked until this bill is paid." Clearly she can't pay those bills, Samaritan's Purse needs their tithe!

Spent his post-war days aggressively killing and coercing American Indians.

His pre-war days were full of running around California in the 1840s, I think.

Sherman didn't let Ohio define him, but he had a big chip on his shoulder just being born there. It inspired him to leave. It's not like Sherman sat on an Ohio porch with a british flag and a cup of tea (because Ohioans celebrates losers like the confederates) his whole life, pushing some narration of bullshit. He went out, killed a lot of people, became a national treasure for what he did to Georgia and making South Carolina piss itself. He then led the war college for a string of years later after the war. His medal of honor is suspect, but so were a lot back then.

Gotta admire the mans' tenacity, just for leaving Ohio. Imagine if he had stayed and the world never got to see his true gift at work.

He did some bad poo poo, but kicking confederates around really, really weighs heavily in his favor.

I got no beef with Grant. And I haven't read nearly as much about him. Sherman really interested me because mentioning his name in parts of the South is still akin to calling someones' mother the loosest woman in town. There's still some super loving butthurt people out there.

I get it. I'm from Illinois originally. Ever once in a great while I feel tempted to uproot and roll back east to somewhere familiar, comfortable, but no, it was rural Illinois and the distinct lack of mountains is not made up for by the rich, loamy, glacial tilled soil that can pump out corn and soybeans by the barge load. There's really nothing there to return to, besides towns riddled with meth and pills, farms that can't turn a profit, but I still get reminiscent for the place. Best to let those demons' calls go through to voicemail.

Mitch can gently caress completely off with this take. Between being a lovely governor and already saying last month that Purdue is going back to having on campus and matriculate new freshmen, he can go gently caress himself. Also, he was part of the Purdue buying Kapella online and rebranding as Purdue Global. About the only positive thing he's done is work at having tuition frozen for the last many years.

Simple solution to this: stop reading opinion articles.

Seriously. They're a waste of time and type. I block opinion articles from my news feed now, and it's mildly cathartic. Had to block NYT altogether because half of their stories that hit my feed were opinion pieces. They can gently caress right off and I hope their properties all burn to the ground.

I haven't found a good one, I just use google news feed and spend too much or my time clicking "fewer stories like this" and "hide stories from X" and while you can tell google to gently caress off with stories about specific topics, it doesn't mean you won't see them. The only good thing about it is that google tends to note opinion pieces by putting "opinion" in the link somewhere, so I just click what applies.

The certain topic thing. I can click "fewer stories like this" and it will occasionally bring up whatever the article is about to not see. Like, Kim Kardashian. Just because you block stories about Kim though, doesn't mean you won't still see the articles, because other reasons like that it's "celebrity" news or because kanye says something dumb or their dumbass tv shows hit new lows for humanity.

You can't entirely escape opinion articles, but you can block the bulk of their sources by just clicking hide.

I was stuck in Evansville Indiana once for business, I had to go to a Golden Corral. It was, well, something.

And I'm from goddamn Milwaukee, we aren't exactly "coastal elites" here (we're coastal but it's Third Coast, you know)?

They do have all-you-can-eat ice cream, that's a plus.

The liquid chocolate fountain brings in all walks of life and their children. It whispers to people from the commercials, "gorge yourself upon my bounty of watered down cocoa and bacteria spread within by the toddlers of my followers."

I haven't been in a Golden Corral in over a decade. I assume not much has changed. Roy Woods Jr has stories about working at Golden Corral, and it sounds as bad as I imagined it would when I still cooked in bars. There are worse places, surely, but that's no reason to settle on Golden Corral for dinner unless you're planning on developing cardiovascular problems or the Wilford Brimleys.

People love to collect poo poo. Useless poo poo, outdated poo poo, forgettable poo poo.

My friend moving here next month is more the type to get a storage unit than me. He's planning on building a cabin and moving into that this fall, so storing a few things isn't a terrible idea for him. I don't even have enough poo poo to fill my apartment, a storage unit would just be an empty garage to me. A $150/mo car house.
