Economy getting worse and these asshole franchise decides to lower the hiring range.

When my son started less then year ago he was hired at 13 an hour. Now it's 11. They been short staff and losing workers and my learned this.

Added insult to injury he is getting a promotion to Team Lead which used to pay 17 an hour now it lower to 16. He about fed up working his ass off and a promotion means little when Walmart pays more with a starting wage then where he currently works.

Fucking corporation are fucking stupid.

Imagine complaining about solar in today age.

While Trump plans to build a movement in his honor these people are getting what they voted for.

If your bored during the snow storm and need something to do.

And just FYI I miss when they had toys in the box instead of these things.

Today is my best friends birthday. He would have been 50. Sadly he died on the 7th of this month.

Here one with him with my son who will turn 21 in March. He was always a good uncle to my kids.

This was the last time we saw him in person. He had been living in a nursing home for last three years. With him is my middle son.

Though we couldn't visit often (we live so far away) I spoke on the phone with him almost everyday.

I will miss him, he was best friend a guy could ask for. Won't ever have other like him.

How the fuck is AI person of the year?

I have decided for my mental health to take a break from Lemmy and go touch grass instead. I enjoy my time here, but it is taking away from things I should be doing, and things I want to do. I find myself doomscrolling for hours on here and I know that's not healthy.

So I am going go finish reading a lot of books.

Going finishing writing a lot of books.

And going start going on long walks.

Starting a new job Monday and it will be work from home. I am excited and nervous, but ready for the new chapter of my life. And I need to do something productive and unplug for a few weeks from all the negative shit going on in the world.

Besides October is coming up soon my favorite time of the year, so want to enjoy the real world for a bit and hop off social media. I'll be back but hopefully I can do better than scrolling for hours on end.

Hope you all have great rest of the month, and also a wonderful Halloween.

But the comics will continue, You'll just need to head over to my website to view them. Have a wonderful week and thanks for reading.

OKLAHOMA CITY–Senator Dusty Deevers issued on Thursday the following statement on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a national leader in the fight for truth, faith, and freedom of speech:

“Charlie Kirk was a bold defender of truth, an unyielding advocate for free speech, and a tireless champion for America’s founding values. Most importantly to me, he was a faithful evangelist proclaiming Christ crucified to millions,” Deevers said. “Charlie inspired countless young people to stand courageously for liberty without apology. His passing is a tremendous loss not only to Oklahoma, but to our nation.”

To honor Kirk’s memory and continue his mission, Senator Deevers encouraged the legislature to prepare to enthusiastically pass three measures recently introduced by Senator Shane Jett, R-Shawnee, in the 2026 session:

Senate Bill 1188 – Establishes Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day in Oklahoma, to include statewide programs and discussions promoting open dialogue and the protection of Constitutional rights. Senate Bill 1187 – Requires the creation of a Charlie Kirk Memorial on every public college and university campus in Oklahoma as a permanent symbol of the importance of free expression and open discourse, and of the evil of political violence. Senate Concurrent Resolution 13 – Officially recognizes and honors the life and work of Charlie Kirk, commending his dedication to proclaiming the gospel and preserving America’s heritage of liberty. “Charlie Kirk devoted himself to strengthening the next generation to stand strong in the truth. For that, he was cut down. We must honor and continue his legacy,” Deevers said. “I look forward to doing so come next session.”
