I'm already totally tired of reading takes like this... https://mastodon.social/@ericleamen/113435715244791649 ... is there a segment of the population that didn't want to vote for a woman or a person of color? Yeah, sure, maybe. But that segment pales in comparison to the slice of our populace who couldn't bring themselves to vote for EITHER genocidal authoritarian aristocrat because they "saw no difference" between the candidates. Do I see a difference between them? Of course. But I also saw this coming. Democrats who try to be Republicans will be beaten by Republicans every time. The DNC is like Charlie Brown with the football, I swear.

So I've learned that RedBox has gone bankrupt and is shutting down. Apparently property owners are getting quotes as high as $1000 from companies who will contract to haul the machines away. I know several hackers interested in them, however, and would be willing to take one or two for free. If you are in central Florida and have a RedBox machine you no longer want on your property, you can reach out to me and I'll put you in touch with someone who will take care of it for you and re-home it.

I've been getting a lot more of these ads lately (on Instagram, the only place left in my life where I cannot remove ads, sadly) and am curious if this is like a new dangerous scam where vendors are selling denatured lab alcohol as if it were safe to consume? Or is this some business playing right in the margins of regulation, but actually delivering legit booze?
