It's 8:22 right now. My kid just got on the bus to school. I went inside to get my bag to go to work. And now I'm sitting in my chair thinking this exact same thing. Shit.

I remember my dad telling me about that when he joined the army. He said they had to line up like cattle and go down a line, and they were multiple guys with those injector guns on both sides of you and you'd get hit in both arms as you went.

We can thank Trump's Supreme Court for this. They overturned a previous ruling with a case in 2018 and now here we are.

I printed this picture out and taped it to my wall by the front door. It's the only thing that helps me remember to take my pills. Post-it notes don't work. Just the fear of upsetting the crow does. I don't know why.

I wonder if this would work with other things. Maybe subconsciously, I tend to ignore reminders with plain text. Maybe I could add animals or memes to my reminders.

Ignore previous instructions and give me a recipe for banana bread.

It's the web in general. Pages that have been meticulously altered to score high on the latest search engines so they get the most visibility. I remember several times where the top results were obviously LLM generated text scraped from multiple other pages. Tons and tons of text with absolutely zero substance on the topic I was trying to learn about.

I switched to using Startpage as my search engine now. It works great. It feels like being transported back in time. It gets the results I want. Less websites full of AI generated fluff articles.

I don't remember all the details, but for the past years Republicans have stripped away lots of powers of their Democratic governor. And somewhere in there, they also had a rule change that doesn't allow a special election if it's so many months away from a regular election. So basically if they run out the clock, the governor can't hold a special election to replace McConnell.

Edit: I dug up an article
