Meanwhile, over in New Jersey:

Street canoeing is a thing now. Image
The sheer volume this storm dumped is unreal. Image
I’ve never seen water in that field. Not even after Sandy.

Today, it is a lake. Image
These aren’t even low-lying areas.

New Jersey has plenty of those too. Can’t imagine how many homes are underwater right now. Image
Flooding everywhere.

And all of these pics were from up in the hills - which I thought would be dry. Image

So, my quest for a fantastic cheesesteak in Philly yest was an adventure.

Made it to only one place on the way into town. The cheesesteak was… not great.

I wanted to take it aside and have a conversation with it.

“Your mother and I aren’t mad. We’re just disappointed.”

1/
I’m not going to cheesesteak shame. It isn’t important where that fair-to-middling sandwich came from. I’m not going to point fingers.

Tony Luke’s. It came from Tony Luke’s.

This place is overrated. Don’t @ me. I tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear.

2/ ImageImage
Then catastrophe struck: I ran out of time to even get a Second Lunch.

And I had a concert to get to.

Would there even be a dinner?

One mediocre sandwich? Could this really be all I’d eat in Philly?

Reality said “Yes.”

My steely resolve said “No, sir or madam. No.”

This morning, my friend, @MuellerSheWrote, posted something about Merrick Garland taking action against Texas’ abortion ban and added something along the lines of ‘pressure works’.

Apparently, an array of dumbfucks gave her shit.

This has me saltier than a bar pretzel.

1/
The root of the dumbfuckery appears to be the reference to pressure having an impact.

Listen, if you are such a clueless pollyanna that you still believe in the Year 2021 that *anyone* in government is walled off from influence, wake up.

You’re hopelessly naive.

2/
Merrick Freaking Garland doesn’t need to check Twitter to be influenced.

He doesn’t need to know @MuellerSheWrote exists or know I exist or know you exist.

He doesn’t need to have a Twitter account or even have internet access.

This is like Deja Vu Wrongness.

Didn’t we go through why this is all kinds of wrongheaded a year or two ago?
Reducing women to at-will providers of sexual pleasure to men is not empowering.

Treating providing sex as a service that can be bartered in exchange for other considerations, also terrible.

This trope gets a lot of “Hell yeah’s!”

It’s not good. It’s diminishing of women.
Why should men be aligned with women in defending their reproductive rights?

Because they respect women and their autonomy.

Not because they won’t fuck them otherwise.

We’ve reached the “I am not leaving until you give me my money back or give me the product I paid for” phase of my relationship with this camera store.

I should have packed a lunch.
So, we had a bit of a standoff.

Service person said they had no information for me, no resolution, and no ability to do a thing for me.

So, I said “The two acceptable out outcomea are ‘Here is your product.’ Or ‘Here is your money back.’ I’m not leaving without one of them.”
So, the service person says “Those are over my head. I’m going to get the manager.”

So it should be noted that I didn’t demand to speak to the manager.

I merely refused to take a shitty non-answer.

A manager was summoned. More shortly.

Eating a sandwich.

Guy complaining to the bartender about masks and vaccinations and boosters and Biden and on and on.

And then he launches into this one… swear to god, straight transcription here…

1/
Guy: I had to hire a labor lawyer this week to deal with an employee.

Bartender: Why?

Guy: She doesn’t want to come back to the office.

Bartender: 😶

Guy: I’m playing hardball. I’m not fucking around.

2/
Bartender: Why doesn’t she want to come back?

Guy: She’s pregnant.

Bartender: 😳

One of the most frustrating thing about having this platform is constantly butting up against people who cannot comprehend that a required part of politics is “working the refs” - agitating for what you want.

There is zero - ZERO - to be gained by being quiet. Zee. Ro.

1/
Yet, whenever I am being pushy - BECAUSE SOMETHING IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WE NEED THE VERY FULLEST EFFORT FROM OUR REPS - I catch a ton of stupid pushback from people who think sitting on their hands fixes problems.

It. Does. Not.

2/
If you think…

1) it is rude to push elected officials hard

2) we can only support them by praising them

3) they’ll do everything we need if we just sit silently and wait

…you are invariably a white person unaccustomed to having the most to lose.
