Last Notes npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Looks like Jethro Bodine on the far right. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Lots of 1950s-looking jowls in that photo. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Where are this parasite’s parents? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Will the election results be honored or ignored? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner “Once you lived the 80s you stay there forever.” — YouTube commenter npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner And probably the first of WWIII. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Nope. Burn it down. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner 100% intentional. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I see this as a big defeat for him. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner And this country is going to stand for this? What's it gonna take to end the Republican Party? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Well, no actually. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I wish copy editors were still a thing. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I simply can’t afford that. This country is a laughingstock. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I think I just realized that when I turn 65 I won’t be able to afford Medicare. Lovely. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Probably turd stupid too. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner The military had better do something to stop the maniac. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Maybe obeying illegal orders is part of the warrior ethos. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner So will our military just sit on its collective ass when Orange Jesus directs the SCOTUS to nullify the Constitution? They are bound by oath to defend it. They aren't doing a very good job of defending us against a tyrant. #USPol npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Can’t help but snicker at the lecturing over “accurate” programming coming from them. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner GMail just ate an entire folder, except for one thread, but left all the messages in the All Mail folder. I’ve never seen this happen before. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I don’t think anyone wants to admit that WW3 is indeed underway. I think it’s been going on for a while now. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Recently I’ve heard numerous doctors and med researchers on various media outlets speaking about the current problems with people not having access to specifically targeted kinds of healthcare due to bigoted legislation and the bigots who enact it. They’re asked a variation of, “What can we do to fix this?” and they always non-reply with a bunch of “civil talk” that sidesteps the question and answer. I need to hear one have the guts to say, “Stop voting for Republicans.” npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner @npub1ucv…5a8g Totally random question: Have you considered making geeky novelty plushies like the Pi I got from 3Blue1Brown in this pic? I want a lowercase single storey g with Greek subscripts \mu and \nu (g_{\mu\nu} in LaTeX). npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner #YouKnowYouAreAtAFakeCollege when an uncredentialed receptionist is allowed to rebut a full time faculty member, with a graduate degree, in the local newspaper and call said prof a "nut” for speaking as an expert in his discipline, and it's the prof who gets called to the president's office for "a discussion about judgement." The prof won of course; 1st amendment and all that. The president got schooled. I'm sure the receptionist was give the prof's courses to teach upon the prof's retirement. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I wonder whether that trauma helped make him what he is today. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Psssst! The next time I decide to mow the lawn in the middle of a July day with temps in the 90s, talk me out of it. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner "Learning is a lifelong process so at our college we use a lifetime educational subscription activated when you enroll. We will continue to bill you for instructional tuition after you graduate and into your professional career by garnishing your wages and retirement benefits or make an arbitrarily generous (defined by us) to our already bulging endowment fund. You will (literally) never forget your experience here at Screw U!" npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Uhhhhhhh if this were true there would be no red states because they would have been wiped out. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Well WTH did she expect? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I don’t think they realize their gains are always temporary and they will eventually lose everything. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Run them over. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner For how much longer are we going to put up with this incompetence and stupidity? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner My country embarrasses me. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I'm beginning to wonder if this is internal sabotage of some sort, and by internal I mean government outside the controllers who work at the airport. I have no basis for this so it's irrelevant idle speculation at best. But nothing surprises me these days. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I wish I knew. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I don't relish giving tax money to a Fascist administration. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Any one of those conscripts could end his reign in a second. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner If anyone knows where I can get pants like these I’d appreciate knowing. Saw these at a conference yesterday. These may be called “golf pants” but searching on that has turned up nothing. #Fashion #MensPants #Colors npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Nope. Too easy. Next. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner It's funny how the people calling to literally outlaw homelessness are the same people who won't hire homeless folks.* npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner If he signs it, I hope he has a back door by which he can hold Orange Jesus to the agreement and, even better, screw OJ royally of he reneges (which he will). npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Is there no way to treat this as dereliction of duty in the interest of public health? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Just purchased. Good to be back. Thanks! npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner @npub1tgg…qwzh Was the update feature of LO ever fixed? It never worked when I was a user and I had to manually check a website for updates (or something similar as I recall). I’m on macOS by the way. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I'm cautiously optimistic about her. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner ...paging Anonymous... npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner We need the military surveilling the White House, not Mexico. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Is there anyway to get the military involved? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Do it anyway. Call their bluff. They won't enforce it. It's theater. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner 🤣 npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I see Mando now offers travel size products. Isn't it sad that this excites me? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I’m rather confused. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner THANK YOU! npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Your instance is a personal refuge for me. Thank you. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner It's time to call for the execution of men who call for the execution of women. Voting won't fix this. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Done. Thank you for all you do. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner This confirms what we already know, that these people know that they rebel they will be crushed. Idiots. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I survived my thirties on Hot Pockets and pork-and-beans. I put Pop Tarts on cereal. Yeah I’d try this. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner ‘80s forever! #80sMusic #GenX npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I’m counting the minutes. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner I love how when a teacher is accused, they’re summarily found guilty but when a politician is accused, it’s always “alleged.” npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Erm….no. The baby is crying over not being given a more intellectually mature and cognitively worthy adversary with whom to debate. npub1tw8t69cyz38dyvprwcledqgu47jsrws0lzlx83e5uuk9nlkke38qnnwssr Joe Heafner Alpha male? Any software developer will tell you that alpha is the crudest, least polished, least reliable, least stable, least efficient most bug ridden, most immature version of anything, including a man. These assholes aren’t bright enough to even strive for beta. As men go, we need fewer alphas and more stable release candidates, with more beta testing before being released.
