@badtux no. Ithe train is pointing the opposite direction from what the seat map says. Half the seats face one way, the other half the other way. But it’s backwards from what I booked.

Actual quotes by Charlie Kirk, dead Nazi:

- Gay people should be stoned to death
- Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane
- No one should be allowed to retire
- Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states
- British colonialism is what made the world decent
- The guy who assaulted the Pelosis should be bailed out of prison
- Religious freedom should be terminated
- Vaccine requirements are medical apartheid
- Gun deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment
- Women's natural place is under her husband's control
- George Floyd had it coming, Jan 6ers didn't
- The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a huge mistake
- Mamdani winning an election is a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
- Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western civilization
- Palestine doesn't exist and those who support it are just like the KKK

I hold the opinion that killing Nazis is a net positive social good, and I don't think that's a particularly hot take, actually.

The lack of luggage space is actually worse than a 737, and there’s no checked baggage. This is a dealbreaker if you’re traveling with anything close to the maximum allowed baggage.

Checking out the “NextGen” Acela train. Definitely less scruffy than the original. Seats seem a bit more comfortable.

But:

- Actual direction is opposite from the seat map (so my booked forward-facing seat faces backwards)
- Window shade keeps lowering by itself (so much for my window seat view)
- Periodic feedback on speakers
- Extremely limited luggage space. Overhead racks are full in a half- full car.

Every time I hear half of a conversation on a federal frequency around here (usually FBI A/D or one of the NTIA LE channels) I am reminded of the paper / blog post by @mattblaze : Why (special agent) Johnny (still) Can't Encrypt

Specifically the section around unintended cleartext transmissions. It was an issue in 2011 and it's still an issue in 2025. The paper / blog post is great and you should go read it

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

With each bite, a symphony plays,
A melody of sweetness that always stays.
You’re a treat for the heart, a feast for the eyes,
A dessert that brings laughter, oh how time flies!

At picnics and parties, you take the stage,
A beloved classic, from age to age.
So here’s to you, our pie of delight,
Blueberry and strawberry, you make life bright!

To Blueberry and Strawberry Pie

Oh, sweet delight, in crust so warm,
With blueberries and strawberries, you bring such charm.
A dance of flavors, a perfect blend,
In every slice, joy knows no end.

Your golden crust, so flaky and light,
Holds treasures within, a colorful sight.
Blueberries, like gems, glisten and gleam,
While strawberries burst, like a summer dream.

"... among many Democrats and some Memphis residents, there was deep discomfort with what some described as a performative show of force in a predominately Black city. Memphis, like most of the cities singled out for perceived leadership failings, is led by a Black mayor, and has other prominent Black leaders in city government. The head of the police department is also Black." https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:di7epi7naqi3rharpcogc5sf/post/3lynh53oxe224

And regular lifetime upgrades are still available (log into https://home.omg.lol/addresses to find the upgrade button), but not for much longer. Can probably only do another small handful before I have to turn off the tap. But half of everything goes to St. Jude, so if you’ve been thinking about doing it, this is the time!

Time for a @robb + omg.lol St. Jude fundraiser update!

So far, we’ve collectively raised $8,752.96 for St. Jude, which is awesome! And if we can raise that much again (plus a tiny bit more) before the end of the month, we’ll have raised $50K total since we started doing this in 2023. 🤩

Donations of $20+ get an awesome sticker pack with fun Ruminate and omg.lol stickers! You can also support via the lifetime address auctions on https://bids.lol!

Give here: https://stjude.omg.lol ❤️
