Whenever I google for the solution to some problem that I face I just about always turn up my younger self asking that exact same question on a list or on Stackoverflow.

Quite commonly _nobody_ has answered my question, so that younger me had to figure it out for himself. Sometimes I'm happy to find that my younger self posted the solution to the problem he faced then and I face now, but not always. Sometimes I'm left to solve my problem - without anyone else's help - a second time.

They buy the BIGGEST BOX OF RUBBERS you've seen in your entire life -- Obamacare.

Well, not for long, folks. Not for long. Thank you, Jeff!!! justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-delivers-remarks-department-justice-s-religious-liberty-summit youtu.be/cYhOIWsuing

Update, link is fixed. Sorry folks, links are hard!!!

Okay, the subject isn't what the title line is going to make you think, LOL.

I've, for now, gotten out of the PC repair business and am instead pursuing two food jobs. The new one is mid-morning to mid-afternoon at a local bakery that just opened. I went in dressed to impress, thinking it was interview time--and instead was hired on the spot and spent 6 and a half hours (8 AM to 2:30 PM) baking and (wo)manning the front counter. They pay better than anything I've done before, too, and the clientele has enough money to plunk down $3.00 for a muffin without a second thought.

And you know what? I'm *good at this.* Never having made cinnamon rolls before, my first attempt came out, according to the manager, as almost the Platonic ideal. The cheese bread (this *is* Wisconsin, you know...) was likewise my first attempt, and it just flew off the shelves. Muffins came up huge and moist, full of blueberries. It's been all of one shift and the manager already wants me to tell her some whole-wheat recipes and maybe experiment with stevia for the health-conscious crowd.

My heart is singing. This might be a kind of happiness. I don't want to jinx it, and I'd still rather be doing pharmacology, but this is...nice, for now. Maybe it's a kind of last happiness before the country implodes on itself. Whatever it is I'm going to take it gratefully, even if it's short-lived. It feels so good to use these hands to create.

Les Moonves and CBS Face Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

Six women tell The New Yorker that CBS chief Les Moonves sexually harassed them

Leslie Moonves, current CEO of CBS

You can't kill what has already gone full #MeToo. You can only cauterize the wound with a CEO-sized resignation.

Previously: Law Firm Kills WaPost Exposé of 60 Minutes Producer

Now we need the exposé of the Amazon Post to see why they caved and missed their chance for a big scoop. From The New Yorker's article:

Fager has tried to keep the allegations about the treatment of women at “60 Minutes” from surfacing publicly. According to the Times, in 2015 Fager took over the writing of a book about “60 Minutes” after the original author, Richard Zoglin, began asking people about the subject. In April, as two Washington Post reporters, Irin Carmon and Amy Brittain, were reporting an article about the allegations of harassment at CBS News, including complaints about Fager and Rosen, lawyers retained by Fager threatened to sue the Post, and presented testimonials about Fager’s good character. “There was this ham-handed effort to make women at the show say Jeff was a wonderful person,” one producer said. “It was so obvious we were doing it with a gun to our heads.” Fager’s lawyers also attacked the professionalism of the two reporters. In the end, the paper published a story that included complaints of harassment against Charlie Rose from dozens of women, but not allegations about Fager or Rosen. In a statement, the Post said, “The reporting throughout was vigorous and sustained and fully supported by Post editors. Nothing that met our longstanding standards for publication was left out. Nor did outside pressures, legal or otherwise, determine what was published.” CBS employees told me that they were alarmed by the attempts to kill the reporting. “The hypocrisy of an investigative news program shutting down an investigative print story is incredible,” one told me.

Not "watch": "listen".

Stargate SG-1’s Christopher Judge wants to make a Jaffa spinoff series

There’s been no official momentum on anything Stargate-related since the end of Origins (which has since been compiled into a film-style cut, combining all the webisodes), but it's worth noting Judge is still actively involved with the franchise in an official capacity as host of the Stargate Command streaming service’s Dialing Home interview series. So he’s certainly in proximity to the ears that would need to be bent about a new web project. Judge also wrote several episodes of SG-1 over the years, helping craft the mythology of the Jaffa from behind and in front of the camera. So he certainly has the know-how and skill set.

GateWorld has been a lot more active lately.

Friends, we're making tremendous progress with the Phoney Russia Witch Hunt. With bringing ACCOUNTABILITY to our Department of Justice. Because the Articles of Impeachment on Rod Rosenstein are out. Thanks to Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and the 9 others in our House of Reps. They worked very hard to make this happen! Hopefully the vote will be very soon -- and VERY OVERWHELMING! thehill.com/policy/national-security/398902-gop-lawmakers-introduce-impeachment-resolution-against-rosenstein

Update -- very disappointed in Paul Ryan. Because he doesn't want to hold the vote. Sad! foxnews.com/politics/2018/07/26/paul-ryan-comes-out-against-rosenstein-impeachment-push-led-by-house-conservatives.html

Watching Los Angeles situation very closely. Very sad what happened there last night. HORRIBLE attack on my Star on the fabulous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Suspect in custody, he turned himself in. Very smart move. Hopefully very strong punishment for this bad, or sick, man. And hopefully some very strong actions to secure our magnificent Walk of Fame. Guys, remember, my Federal Law Enforcement is here. And they're ready. If you need anything just ask!! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/donald-trumps-hollywood-walk-fame-star-destroyed-again-1129705
