I heard a lot of commentary about the price of eggs tonight. I live in San Diego, America's most expensive city. I've seen at some major chains a dozen eggs in the $6 - $9 range. Most stores I've seen them around $4 or $5 bucks a dozen. I also purchased a dozen yesterday for $2.79, and that was through Doordash even. So like, I call bullshit. Americans are dumb and too lazy to shop around. The gas station closest my house is $5.80 according to Google just now, but I filled up last night about 5 miles away with cash for $3.99. So infuriating that lack of effort or stupidity is likely what drove Trump back into office.

I used to live in downtown Oakland, notoriously not the safest city. I was stumbling home from a night of drinking around 3am one morning, and this guy on a bike rolled up on me out of nowhere and he just goes "hey man, you scared of black people?" He was an older black man that appeared to be disheveled and possibly living on the street, and I legit just laughed and was like, no, I grew up in a city, and I live here, so no, not at all haha. And he just goes, "Alright. You have a good night." and he rode off.

Like 5 years later, I'm waiting for my bus one morning to go to work, and the exact same thing happens. Rolls up on a bike and asks me if I'm scared of black people. Again, I say no, kind of being like dude leave me alone not this again, and he replies "I know you're not. I remember you. Have a great morning." He shook my hand and rolled off, never saw him again. Just such an odd experience haha.

Kamala should seize on this and say she'd push for statehood, if not for anything other than to watch Republicans say they would oppose it.

I fear it won't be centralized just in Washington this time and they could try to take many state houses that simply aren't prepared as the Capital clearly will be. There was a clip of two men walking away from Jan 6 that haunts me. They were remarking on what an incredible day it was, and one of them says, "but next time we bring the guns". If 100k armed idiots people show up at the Capital looking for a 'revolution', cops aren't going to be enough. And even worse if they take to local streets looking for anybody who opposes them. I hope the fever doesn't get that high, but I'll for sure to be staying far away from any of those crazies for a while.

Finally, a chance to tell Mom, Andrew, Jeremy, and Doug, that they're only important enough for a stranger on the internet to want to decipher their semi-crossed out names and nothing more!

I made a Mastodon account during that blitz in '22. Yes, content wasn't there yet, but honestly, it was the interface for me. It's UI didn't feel simplistic enough to me as someone just getting started with it.

Lemmy may have faced a similar fate for me if it weren't for the smooth interface of Sync to be honest. I know many on here are leaps and bounds beyond my tech proficiency, but so many folks are still in the stone ages writing their passwords on post-it notes etc so to think that they'd adopt something like Mastodon over Twitter or Lemmy over Reddit seems like the bigger counterparts will always win just on sign-up flow and instant gratification.

I remember being in 3rd grade and learning about the electoral college and thinking, "that's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of". Still true to this day.
