I'm getting fed up with people who are already giving up IN JULY
every day I feel like I'm losing my mind as people look at a statistically tied race where one guy is a felon with deeply unpopular positions who ALREADY LOST THIS EXACT RACE and are like "he is 100% for sure going to win"

Got a covid booster a couple weeks ago for some extra immunity before SDCC. Now I know five people who've gotten covid in the last couple days. Stay safe out there: this thing's here to stay and it can still be dangerous.

Just watched ST VI in 70mm at the Aero theater with Nick Meyer in person and an awesome crowd of trekkies. My son’s first ST movie in theaters- we had a blast!

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.
