Throat hurts still, of course, but I feel a lot better in general again today… still on pain meds but not as many. I think by the weekend I can get off most of those. 🤞🏼 Sleep has gotten a lot better - still spotty, twitchy, and I wake up sore but the remedies calm it down. Still sorting out EDD/SDI/FMLA and it can be tough when spaced out on meds, but I think I figured it out yesterday… Rachel and I are flying down to LA next weekend to see Forbidden, then dad coming to town the following weekend for Thanksgiving… wrapping up with a track day at @ThunderhillPark on 11/29. Refreshing front tires, rotors, pads, fluids and replacing a caliper just prior, so the car should be in top shape. Man I love this car (photo from Laguna Seca in October) 👇

Totally possible for robots to make people happier, I suppose. But given current economic trends, it seems unlikely that overall happiness will rise for anyone but the ultra-wealthy, and I have a feeling that’s all Elon really cares about.
Elon Musk believes advanced humanoid robots could dramatically improve everyday life, especially when it comes to healthcare. From helping people avoid painful medical conditions to improving the quality of treatment, he sees robotics as a technology that could raise overall human happiness.

Plz, drop those, full name, bank account numbers below, in order to… “take a screenshot” 😏
I've been using Twitter for 14 years, and I'm only just discovering that you can take a screenshot of a tweet by replying to this with your social security number.

Yikes -- CNN broadcast video footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier! DAMN! 😬

I’m not a vocal supporter of the military, view it as a necessary evil… war sucks, bloated budget etc… but I am pragmatic enough to know we have to be prepared to fight. So thanks, veterans, for putting yourselves on the line for us. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Lauren Boebert switching districts to make it easier to win an election and still losing is comedy gold.

Well. THAT escalated quickly! Dungeness crab season just opened but fishing will be too dangerous. Who am I kidding? I’m still in bed a lot. Today overall I felt a lot better. Needed less meds. Maybe it won’t me long before I can go get some fresh crab! 🤞🏼🦀 🌊

I love AOC. As much as you can “love” a politician I suppose. But what is this? Look, I can’t say for sure what’s best, but if the people really want change, we should be able to have it!

When are people going to get it? It’s ALL AN ACT! Well, the virtuous part is an act… the hate, hypocrisy, and bigotry are probably genuine. Blood Tribe leader is a whacko… (emphasis on “WHACK”)
🚨Christopher Pohlhaus, the neo-N*zi who leads Blood Tribe, projects an image of hard racial discipline and opposition to modern degeneracy. His group lectures on blood, folk, and fitness, stages marches under the banner of rejecting weakness, and treats self-control as a marker of fitness to lead. Members have carried signs reading “Reject degeneracy.” In these circles, private s*xual excess is widely framed as a moral and racial failing—something a leader is supposed to rise above. On November 4 he was streaming World of Warcraft on Kick. When he switched to a private video call, he failed to end the broadcast. Viewers watched for more than two hours as the session turned s*xual and he was seen m*sturbrating. Chatters tried to warn him he was still live. He eventually noticed and shut it down—too late. Rival N*zis immediately rebranded the group “GOON TRIBE” and mocked the man who demands standards of everyone else. The episode undercut the aura of iron self-mastery he cultivates. His later shrug—that critics were acting like pearl-clutching church ladies—did little to close the gap between the anti-degeneracy posture and the accidental public performance. For a movement that treats personal discipline as proof of leadership, forgetting to hit “end stream” was costly.

I love America, man. The USA, that is. Many MAJOR things are not as they should be… and we’re in dangerous times still… But the country SPOKE on November 3rd, EN MASSE, to address them! There was no guarantee we’d even HAVE midterms, which made them such a HUGE WIN!! 💙🌊🇺🇸

Made it out of the house as planned! Started poorly with some fellow drivers making mistakes which led to me sitting through 3 cycles of a long stoplight… but I got my meds at pharmacy, some coffee and breakfast, some edibles for sleep. It was really nice to be outside!

Survived the 7th full day. Day 8 begins with regular Tylenol, breakfast, coffee, a shower - going to try to venture out for a few errands and a walk, and to pick up more meds. Super sore, but I got the best night’s sleep so far, so my mood is decent. Riding out the storm ☔️

Hey, friends! Latest “sick man” / “complainy guy” update: Today makes ONE WEEK since UPPP sleep apnea surgery. Had to AGAIN order refill of pain meds, as this is showing no signs of stopping. Asked the doc too: “should I be rounding the corner?” He refilled the meds and 1/2

Said “as we discussed, typically 2-3 weeks of pain.” Yeah but I’m ME! Apparently that ain’t enough and I have to COPE. 😝 2/2
