"Josh, you're a brilliant man, and we are really lucky--lucky to have you." league of women voters from 2012

venturing over to the AgTalk forum to see what they are saying about bitcoin. do they know about Nostr? do they need censorship resistance when talking about the price of hay? do they know about the soybean conspiracy? would they like to zap each other electric commodity "at the speed of light"?

Midnight, turning over in bed. hearing my heart beat in the pillow. alone, i think to myself, "i'm already living the life of 70 year old widows and widowers with 30 years to go". A bang outside and a cow moos. "has she fallen into a hole" my brain tries to interpret the timbre of the moo. these creatures are so giant and gentle. They need humans. the cows are black and bull is red with a white face. by the amount of calves popping out on the daily, he must be busy, but he appears laid-back. he's always with one cow or the other. he will spend all day with one--grazing by her side, licking her neck. she puts her ears back--sign of pleasure if i ever saw one.. The cows have had their calves shipped off to market for $2000 a pop. sky high cattle prices right now... for the next 2 nights after the calves are gone, the cows moan with their moos throughout the night. it sounds like crying. but the bigger calves are a drain on the mothers. now that they are gone, the cows can eat less. they've even been laying in the field in the sun. it's like vacation time. and the bull is sidling up beside one or the other. i can almost hear him "do you want a little one that looks like you or me". half of the calves are black like their mom, the rest are red with a white face like their dad, and then there's a few odd balls that are black with a white face.. anyway. the farm reeks of fertility.

The new parishioner took a seat in the church pew and bowed his head in prayer. He had recently given up gambling in favor of UBI from the Lord. the minister surveyed the congregants. Did he perceive the existential questions they were asking as he delivered his message? "Here is a man who has very much, and yet is not content, and here is another that has little or nothing, and yet he is content!" "A spoon-full of grace is worth the entire world" as the last hymn was sung, the parishioner's big question was answered: he would buy two call options and call one "grace" and other "contentment".

i saw the "shit's going down in Normie land" meme on here on Saturday--i think it was? so i ventured out and found that everyone is singing Kpop Demon Hunter tracks.
