  Am I supposed to care about the Fauci museum exhibit?

  No, I care about being able to rely on the federal government doing what it said it would do. So that if I get a federal contract I know that I’m not going to bankrupt company by following through on my side of the deal, never knowing if they’re going to renege on their part.

  The Fauci museum is more than halfway through the period the money was supposed to be spent during. Does that mean we have spent $90K to get nothing? That doesn’t sound so fiscally conservative.

  Also, fuck the Daily Mail for propagating bullshit right wing talking points about COVID being created in a US government lab in China (long established as false.)

  Considering how prevalent depression is I wonder how long it will be before we find out that a common processed food additive enhances the growth of Morganella morganii over other bacteria.

  I have a homeassistant instance connected to a no-name Z-wave thermostat. It’s been flawless for almost 10 years.

  I realized I’d inadvertently crossed into Switzerland due to a wrong turn when my rental car’s navigation system alerted me to the fact. Whoops.

  The subject then engaged with local law enforcement and is now deceased

  It makes it sound like the cops wouldn’t have done anything if the guy hadn’t brought the fight to them.
