So nice to see happy, festive trees and not tampon trees and nightmare forests.

We're (HEB warehouses near me) probably sending water to y'all's area so there is enough. That blows and I hope it's short lived.

Who had a volcanic eruption on their 2022 in America Bingo card? So this is big considering its dormant period, but Kileaua has been erupting for a long while, so it's not the first one in the US of the year, by any stretch.

Congressman Donald McEachin, VA-4, died last night from cancer. He just won reelection earlier this month. From some short research MH did last night, now Youngkin gets to appoint a replacement until the next election. Fingers crossed he picks someone like McEachin (a dem), but I'm not getting my hopes up. My neighborhood got reassigned to VA-4 during redistricting, so he was scheduled to be our rep during the new Congress. www.nbc12.com/2022/11/29/us-rep-donald-mceachin-dies/

I had no idea he was sick. I voted for him and he was out congressperson when we were still in the states right after they split the third district where Bobby Scott had been my rep. There is not a chance in hell Youngkin will appoint a Dem and that is awful because it's a very blue district. Shit.

For those still watching Elon Musk and Twitter, apparently he’s on a tirade against Apple and free speech. I heard that Apple had been the biggest advertiser on Twitter in Q1 but has since stopped advertising. He’s supposedly also releasing Twitter Files on free speech suppression on Twitter.
How long until Twitter fully implodes?

How long until Twitter fully implodes? Did you see the picture of his bedside table he tweeted yesterday? I won't repost but it's... something. Also, Diet Coke does not deserve to be continually sullied by association.

What you think of the strike in calif universities? I know what my grad student in Washington thinks about it. He laughs that they are just part time workers. They work way more hours than the 20 hrs the schools all claim. Thats just the hours for teaching labs and classes.
They (may) qualify for free tuition but so does a lot of other workers at the univ that are paid more. Overall they haven't had a pay increase for the grad+ students since 2010.

I don’t have too many deep thoughts about it but I support their strike 100%. I know I worked a TON more than just teaching my lab and grading tests when I was a CSU grad student. I imagine it’s even more rigorous at most UCs. And the upper admin make way too much money. It feels like exploitation is baked in to the system and few question it.

Ok I had to google the bedside photo because I quit Twitter. What a weirdo. You know he thinks he’s so cool too. Gosh, the cringe.
