The image shows a tweet from Dr. Allison Wiltz, whose Twitter handle is [@]queenie4rmnola. The tweet is about the Ku Klux Klan and states: "Members of the Ku Klux Klan were judges, lawyers, and bankers. Not just farmers as they are often portrayed. That's why they wore masks. They were prominent men and didn't want any legal consequences for terrorizing black communities." The tweet is presented in a white background with black text, and the author's name and handle are displayed at the top.

Apply for the #UK to rejoin the EU fully - do not just 'reset' the relationship - Petitions


I think the UK needs to #rejoin the #EU fully for maximum economic benefit and to restore influence rather than merely 'reset' relations.

Petty? After this we should throw out every official portrait of every Republican president, investigate every elected Republican for violating the RICO Act, and start treating the Republican Party as a domestic terrorist organization. Scorched fucking earth.

The image features a pie chart with a black background and white text. The title at the top reads "Benefits of being MAGA." The pie chart is divided into three sections, each with a different color and label. The largest section, colored green, is labeled "Being liked and respected." The second largest section, colored orange, is labeled "Trump cares about you." The smallest section, colored red, is labeled "Cheap Groceries." To the left of the pie chart, there are three colored boxes corresponding to the labels: purple for "Being liked and respected," blue for "Trump cares about you," and red for "Cheap Groceries."

The image shows a screenshot of a social media post with a dark background and white text. The post is divided into two sections. The first section, attributed to Erika Ishii, reads: "A reminder that even in his lifetime, Christopher Columbus was considered so horrendously cruel that the people responsible for the goddamn Spanish Inquisition went, 'oh my god, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???' and had him arrested and stripped of his titles." The second section, in a different font, states: "Dunking on Columbus isn’t 'revisionist history', it was literally an order from the crown of Spain in 1500." The text is presented in a conversational tone, with emphatic punctuation and capitalization. The post includes a circular profile picture on the left, but the face is blurred.

I suspect that some readers might interpret this cartoon as a call for Luddism, but mostly it's a reflection of thoughts I've been having lately about out-of-control data harvesting and a growing surveillance state.

Three weeks


Three weeks since my husband passed. I took this week off in a number of ways, I went back to work, I needed to get some normal back in my life.

Bit of a rough week, little work for me Wednesday and Thursday, so I worked yesterday, and still fell short of goal. Wednesday wasn't a surprise, my main #gig RXD doesn't have much on Wednesday, and most of what they have is garbage, but Thursday was a surprise, I couldn't get a route for the life of me. Also I wasn't available Monday as I was taking care of things at his office.

This week I've got a Better Trucks shift lined up for Wednesday, and depending on how the week goes, I might start signing up for more shifts. Pay wise its better than RXD, however I actually have to work, so... Might go back to my old zone if'n I do, my husband was a good part of why I dropped it, at least until winter, that zone has an 1140 load time and takes 6 to 8 hours, so I'd be getting home after him by an hour or two, no more dinner together. Now though? Yeah, my night vision sucks, so when it starts getting dark at 1700, I'll have to drop it again if'n they don't shift the load time earlier by then.

Any how, as I said, going for a normal week, not dealing with his passing in any way this week, being a little lazy, I do have some proofread work that I should've been doing, I'll just have to make time this coming week to get that done.

Friday brought an interesting phone call from the crematorium, I had been wondering what the delay is. Apparently they're having problems getting his death certificate signed, for some reason his GP was listed, and he refused to sign it for obvious reasons, he works out of SSM DePaul, Vik died at SSM SLU, so no real surprise that he's refusing to sign when he wasn't there. Not sure if'n that was a mistake, or its standard practice out here for his GP to sign off on a nature cause death. I've emailed them about the mistake, and I think they were contacting the city Medical Examiner for some help, so hopefully this'll be sorted soon, and things can get moving, I kinda need the death certificate to close accounts, collect life insurance, and so on. Might also need to grab a few copies of my marriage license as well, might be necessary to prove our marriage.

Got his car cleaned out today, though the interior will definitely need cleaning. Also have a link for sorting out the title as he didn't put down a TOD for whatever reason. Trying to avoid probate court if all possible, I mean my relationship with his family is fine, they expect that I inherit everything, so there's no real reason to get the courts involved, the only thing is on Apple, but if'n I'm reading that right, that'll just get me access to his iCloud, and I'm not sure I need anything there.

So, that's about all the news.

The image shows a man standing outdoors on a sunny day, smiling and posing for the camera. He has a full beard and mustache, and is wearing glasses with a colorful frame. The man is wearing a black t-shirt with a graphic design on the front, and blue suspenders. He has antler-like decorations on his head, adding a playful touch to his appearance. In the background, there is a white tent with a table displaying various items, including hats, suggesting a market or fair setting. The sky is clear and blue, and there are trees in the background, indicating a park-like environment. The man is holding up one finger with his left hand, possibly making a point or signaling something.

Wisconsin Trucking Companies Like Trump Administration’s Rule Changes Β» Urban Milwaukee


This is the first article I've seen about this, though I did see a YouTube short about it a few months ago. Can't say I'm against some of them, increasing truck parking is necessary, this is why you see trucks parked on the side of the road, along ramps, and in random parking lots. English proficiency is prolly a good thing too, I mean do you really want someone driving 80,000 lbs of vehicle and cargo being unable to read signs on the road? Dunno about the other stuff since I'm not in trucking.

Gots me a new toy

Yeah, doesn't look like much, does it? This is the test button on the package of a neon look LED sign that I got. The thing that's so neat about it is that is what's not there, the sign is powered by a USB cord, unlike the decorative signs I've gotten in the past that are powered by batteries. This becomes important, because those would come with batteries installed, and a switch like this that connected to two bins on the sign. This sign however has no batteries, so how does it work?

Image/photo

The give away is the thickness, I haven't tried opening it yet, but I'm willing to bet that there's a button battery in there. Kinda amazing how cheap this stuff has become, the sign is $9.99, and for testing you get a free button battery, cheap switch, and a USB female socket, how are they even doing that?

The image features a black background with text and images of several individuals. At the top, there is a block of text in yellow and red font that reads: "Jeffrey Epstein invested over $40 million into a firm backed by Peter Thiel. Thiel, who started PayPal with Elon Musk and mentors JD Vance, went on to become the founder of Palantir - the company the US government hired to assist ICE and, now, to compile an AI driven, centralized database of every American citizen - and Stephen Miller has invested." Below this text, in large yellow font, is the phrase "Nothing To See Here." The image also includes six individuals' faces, each with a different expression, arranged in two rows. The individuals are positioned at the bottom of the image, with their faces partially visible. The overall layout is designed to convey a message about the individuals mentioned and their connections.
