He failed three times to get elected, they start again tomorrow.

As far as I’m aware it’s Trumpettes who are refusing to vote for him, preferring one of their own instead.

Looks like McCarthy will fail to get enough votes to be Speaker first time round. It could still feasibly happen, but five Republicans voted against him, and he could afford four if everyone votes and nobody changes their mind.

Wee bit embarrassing.

Edit: he did lose, 19 Republicans voted someone else, he currently sits 16 15 votes below what he needs.

Nothing can happen until the Speaker is chosen, a long day ahead it seems.

I recall many years ago someone I worked with talking about a video of a man inserting a mason jar up his ass and it shatters while it’s up there, and looked for the video.

Some things are better left unknown brah.

There are companies that sell treats for dogs that look like human candies, because it’s always a good idea to teach animals to eat things that can potentially kill them.

I’m not suggesting she doesn’t value your relationship, just that alone time can be at a premium as a parent.

Days are long as a parent, having to get up even if you’re exhausted to sort out kids before the day starts, and then having to go to work. Just because her employment work has ended doesn’t mean her work has; she still has to look after her kids up until bedtime, possibly beyond, and it’s probably at that point she can take time for herself, unless she does it backwards and gets up super early,  it if she’s up ‘til 3 playing games, chances are she’s doing what I do and taking from sleeping time in order to get alone time.

One thing I will say is being a parent is all-consuming, to the point that you have no space for yourself in your own existence, and I’m saying that as someone raising a child with another person, never mind two kids on my own.

If I ever get time to myself away from my wife and child, fuck every other relationship in my life, that time’s for me.

Go fuck yourselves.

happy new year

I used to work for one of the big four supermarket chains in the UK, and heard some amusing stories of theft.

One involved the night-shift manager at a nearby slightly larger store apparently being caught on CCTV returnijg a stolen case of vodka because there were runouts going around that the manager had figured out who stole it, so he got fired.

Another was because nobody took seriously security around money. There was meant to be two people always involved whenever money was being moved to or from the safe in the office, but a South Asian colleague who was a team leader (again in another store) took advantage of that not happening and stole a 5 figure sum, the day’s takings, and apparently managed to flee back home before the theft was discovered.

The latter is why policy needs to be followed all the time. Theft, even if small things, is not something that should be taken lightly, because someone else who doesn’t have qualms about taking larger or more expensive items is going to take notice of lax adherence and quite possibly take advantage.
