Univision guy who wanted PAB to convince him to vote for him is resolutely unconvinced.

Says he's not voting for PAB.

I'm shocked! His reaction seemed to suggest he was on the fence.

Ballot completed and ready to be dropped tomorrow.

I miss California, but happy to be making more of an impact here in Arizona this time.

Ad I just heard:

[list of extreme positions his opponent has supported]

"I'm Jeff Jackson, a veteran and former prosecutor, and I'm running for Attorney General as a basically normal person."

:-D :-D

I got annoyed because to turn in a library book -- a fucking library book! -- on my Kindle, I had to log into my Amazon account. That meant I had to go look up my fucking password.

It turned out to be 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘥𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵. Should have been able to remember that.

Night, everyone.

Whatever you do, don't write down your passwords, especially to the public libarry, cause someone might steal it, and take out a book in your name.A word to the wise is sufficient.

A company that sells Viagra laced honey is also associated with the Trump watches.

The FDA has issued a warning about using the honey. No word yet on the watches.

China has huge bee farms.

They get huge government subsidies that US growers can't compete with their price.

But China also tends to use pesticides illegal in the US.

Those pesticides end up in the honey. The US banned China honey.

Shortly after the ban on Chinese honey went into affect the amount

the US imported from Thailand went from zero to 10 million pounds.

China was funneling banned honey through Thailand into the US.

The practice was known as honey laundering.

It's all a plot to reduce domestic production through flooding with cheaper product. No U.S. bees, no U.S. pollination. We're exporting our vital industry labor force!

Plus, China adulterates their honey with US cane and corn syrups.

I can't afford a monthly subscription, but I use your Amazon link every time my wife & I buy stuff there. I hope that little bit helps.

Trix: If I upgrade to founding does it charge me $120, or $120 retroactive to 2023 (i.e., $240)? I can afford an additional $120 for this year, and in the future until I change it but would prefer not to hit the button if it's gonna cost me $240 right now today.

oh never mind, I just did it anyway. Although for some reason it charged me $150.23, which I love for the randomness of it. I am sorry tom sound like a cheapskate but I just sent out $200 each to Yadira Caraveo (CO-8, a tight race we have to win), Mucarsel-Powell, Allred, and that Independent Senate chap in Nebraska, Osborn.

Awwwwwwww nostalgia! How I long for the halcyon days of yore when tiny tots crawled all over my feet wearing lion fur suits and being ever so damn cute that every time I saw that picture I coughed up Ameros.

Alas, those days are gone and the the tiny tot grew up and became a child with a whole childhood to live. To keep her shackled to the money machine would be wrong because child labor is wrong. So I applaud the decision to let her be a person.

But I still have the memory. And that will do.

The mommy blog still has my Ameros and I hope that will do too.

I am old and somewhat non technical. So in many ways I am like Old Handsome Joe Biden what with his handsome oldness all wasted on ice cream cones.

So I'll ask a tech question.

If my subscription expires do I get an email that alerts me to that fact so I need to fix it?
