:prami_happy: Three exclusive single-letter omg.lol lifetime addresses are now live on https://bids.lol!
They are: @a, @l, and @x. The winning bidders get the full omg.lol bag of goodies for each, for life.
This year, I’ve changed the way the auctions work. We’re now using a sealed-bid second-price auction format, also known as a Vickrey auction. With this format, all bids are private and the winning bidder pays the second-highest bid amount. This encourages people to pay whatever they think the addresses are worth, and it avoids bidding wars, sniping, and the pressure to spend more than you might otherwise spend. I think it will work much better for these auctions!
Bidding is open through noon EDT on September 14, though that could be extended by another week depending on how things go. And as always, half of the proceeds from these lifetime addresses will go directly to the St. Jude Relay fundraiser. ❤️
Happy bidding! 🥳

Aviation nerditry: Trump flew into LGA today for the US Open via one of the 757s ("C32A") in the executive fleet serving as AF1, instead of a more usual 747 (which can't safely use LGA's 7000 foot runways). When they use a 747 for visits to NYC, AF1 generally lands at JFK. But they're presumably using LGA for its proximity to Ashe stadium.
A KC-135 tanker is currently circling NYC, which is the normal practice. A tanker always accompanies AF1, to be available for emergency in-flight refueling.

Four and a half years ago, a group of insurrectionist losers sacked this building in an attempt to overthrow the US Government and prevent the transfer of power to a newly elected president. They got frighteningly close to succeeding.
This photo was made about six months later; some of the physical damage from the attack remains visible here.

Israel has forfeited the right to claim any moral position related to humanity given they lack it entirely. Oops, it”s kinda what happens when you commit genocide. (You know Israel is committing genocide, right? Do you live under a rock? Are you a genocide apologist and thus complicit in genocide? No. OK, so you know that Israel is committing genocide.) https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/115048764598296632

At least 19,424 children have been killed in Israeli attacks over 700 days of genocide in Gaza, the equivalent of one child every 52 minutes.
Among the victims are 1,000 infants under the age of one.
As relentless Israeli bombardment, forced displacement, and #starvation continue, warnings grow louder: nowhere in the enclave is safe for children.“Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children,” said #UN Secretary-General António Guterres as early as November 6, 2023.
According to the latest death toll update by the Palestinian Health Ministry, children in Gaza account for more than 30 percent of the deaths as Israel’s #genocide entered its 700th day on Friday.
“Consider that for a moment. A whole classroom of children was killed, every day for nearly two years,” #UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told the UN Security Council. https://qudsnen.co/?p=64342

Acknowledging that I will never recover from how my father died has strangely liberated me to remember him (with and w/o the disease -- I had forgotten the latter) & help others.
