Journey's end; won't be attending @chicagoworldcon. Or any other cons if my current mood is anything to go by & if this is how it goes. I can't anyway. Literally, mood asides. Got denied visa to the Worldcon by @USinNigeria today. It's not the denial but the how

One of the weirdest and best things about @tweetbot is that sometimes I see (and try to reply to) deleted tweets.

I hope... I HOPE that this nudges this county closer to being a civilized first world nation.
I'm not optimistic about It though.

The Inflation Reduction Act is now law.
Giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices. Ensuring wealthy corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
And taking the biggest step forward on climate in our history.

If our... no, *their*, account management processes are working as expected, then as of a few minutes ago I could not have logged in to the work Slack or email even if I wanted to.

With Eric Flint no longer publishing with Bane Books(sic) (or anywhere, tragically...) I've lost the last author I might have tried to overlook their clear fascist leanings for.
Discon III did the right thing uninviting Toni. This publisher is a pox.

Here's people on @BaenBooks Web Forum talking about how to shoot someone wearing body armour in a thread about the Judge who signed the #MarALagoFBIRaid warrant.
Please boy…

As "Celebrating my last day" drinks go, a 25-year-old Lagavulin is a pretty damn good option.

Alas, eleven-and-a-half years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable Amazonians.
I've put this off for far too long.
Goodbye.

Ooof, yeah, this is going to bother me. It'll be like having an Electron app (which is not inherently BAD, just "won't fit the platform perfectly") as the core interface to system settings on macOS.

I think one of the things I “get” about the world that maybe some other folks don’t is that it’s okay if people disagree with me, and even disapprove. Even my friends don't have to approve of every choice I make, up to a point.

If anyone from an airline is looking at this, moving from an aisle seat to a lone middle seat is NEVER an upgrade.
Especially when it's between two unmasked strangers.

@AlaskaAir pretty crappy way to treat a frequent flier: my partner chose seats together but when we got to the airport we found ourselves on a full flight, both in middle seats, split up six rows apart.

I really want the M2 16" MacBook Pro models to come out (and be reviewed for disk and memory performance). My 2019 MBP is showing its age in its battery life pretty damn hard.
