@srol thanks a lot now I listened to This Side five times so far today

@snares no Inget it. I ALSO want it to feel special. Inhad to work at it but my 40bday was special *sends you good thoughts*

@srol yah you can never imagine what a lazy crafternoon looks like

@srol I think that is super cool!

@artfulreggie @Wuskythehusky Ideal scenario really :D wusky cuddles, good chow, and heft :D

@artfulreggie today I did choose my ultra storng caramel nougat Noir Tea that stuff packa awhallop but after two cups I feel asleep so... you tell me.

@Wuskythehusky wow that is very impressive!

@srol I love listening to them and still listen to their albums often but I am bad about "knowing them" if that makes any sense still that is really cool

@artfulreggie No, I haven't but caffine has a variable effect on me. some days I vibrate through walls with weak tea other days its nonfunctional snoozing even with the most powerful irish breakfast

dear brain: why did we suddenly get exhuasted and fall into a 20 min nap?

@srol Wow I listen to that song way too much and I didnt know that :D

Very personally this sort of confirms my prior beliefs that dichotomous thinking continues to over inform people's behaviors far too much.

I think one of my nagging and unproven thoughts here is that if you honestly believe all government is corrupt or doesn't have value then you're going to be happy to excuse some very blatant abuses of power for your "side" though this is not based on any firm datapoints.

I'm not a Texan so I haven't commented on this story much but it is important to note how long this ongoing event has been. He was being investigated for some pretty blatant corruption before getting reelected for a third term.

I would claim I was surprised he was getting an impeachment considering the truncated and artificially short legislative period (and there is an entire derisive snort I'd have to that too) but that assumes he will feel consequences there.

To reiterate: the Attounrey General of Texas has been threatened with disbarment, he is under investigation by the federal Justice Department for potential bribe taking, he fired whistle blowers who then sued him and he demanded the Texas legislature apportion funds to pay the settlement and it isn't like voters weren't aware of this nonsense.
