  • I use the one that’s built in to the Fastmail service. I have a custom domain just for aliases. The Fastmail alias-creation API is integrated with the Bitwarden app (which I use) so that makes creating new accounts (that use email addresses as usernames) on websites really easy. I also use Spamgourmet which is free, convenient, and has been around a very long time. No custom domains there, but they let you use a variety of their domains and they have some short ones which is nice, but I do find that they’re blocked pretty often, mostly by major mailing list services.


  • Makes me think: this could be turned into a profitable new “sport”. I’m imaging something like a boxing ring, where a Boeing whistleblower and a Boeing MBA fight it out in public. Could be pitched as quasi-legit, like boxing, or maybe something along the lines of “professional” wrestling. Tag teams, outrageous costumes, stories of insult (“the MBA shot my teamie in his pickup truck!”, “this 'blower reduced dividends by $0.50/share!”) and revenge. I don’t follow fighting sports so maybe you guys could figure out something that would sell well in 2024+. You’d want betting of course, not sure if you could legally do that in IL or WA, might need to move Boeing HQ to Las Vegas. All profits would go to buying Boeing a new management and towards class-action lawsuit costs.






















  • Northern ID is a cultural shit-hole. The original home of the American Nazi, now occupied by racists, Jew-haters, Xian nationalists, and other hate-cults, and of course by American Nazis still. Oh and it’s been discovered by the wealthy elite and sold to them as a get-away where they can sit by the lake, recuperate from their hard labors of screwing the masses, network, and write checks to the Fascist orgs that exist to serve them (ex. Trump cult). N. ID can’t even keep their local state colleges functioning and accredited, but don’t worry, the CdA-area airports are in good shape and bustling with corpo jets, you’ll have no problems landing yours there.




  • blood-letting and incantations

    Won’t work for me. My illnesses are always due to possession by evil demons. Isn’t this true for all patients? I read, today I think, that the UK royals subscribe to some kind of “chemo” nonsense to banish the cancer demons. I guess we know who didn’t have the benefit of an Indiana college education.

    Also, imagine you’re

    • an American history prof who, assuming you’re allowed to teach about slavery at all, has to give class time to “diverse” opinions as to whether slavery was actually a Good Thing for the slaves, that slaves were actually a happy, healthy, grateful bunch.
    • a physics or astronomy prof who has to teach “diverse” theories about how the universe was magic’d into existence just a few thousand years ago.
    • a chemistry, geology, ecology, or atmospheric science prof who has to give credence, in class or via grades, to “diverse” viewpoints denying any connection between burning fossil fuels and anthropogenic global warming, not that the latter is a Real Thing, of course, I diversely protest!

    I do wonder if Indiana religion-aligned “higher-ed” (either schools teaching religion only, or teaching a general curriculum and just aligned with some particular religious sect) faculty will have to welcome students who present “diverse” viewpoints regarding religious truths - viewpoints like atheism or (gasp) satanism or Native spiritualities or “Christian Science” or occultism or ancient Greek/Roman beliefs, to name a few. Probably not, eh?



  • Divine rage.

    I worked a breakfast grill at a restaurant as a teen and got pretty good at it. I’ll make that kid the most perfect breakfast omelette they’ve ever eaten. And I’ll bring the ingredients if we’re short.

    Also worked @a food pantry not long ago, warehouse work mostly but I got to see some of the parents and kids who showed up, long lines out into the northern cold, every day we were open, just to get a day or two’s worth of something to eat.

    Anyone who would means-test a kid out of a free school meal, or deny them altogether, is some kind of sociopath monster.
