Lol, I'm imagining the call the casting director made to Madonna.

"Hey Madonna, you were great, but you weren't 'milk blasting outta titties' great so we're gonna pass."

Per NPR:

Congress has rarely resorted to the most extreme punishment at its disposal. The House has expelled only five members in its history — three during the Civil War and two after their convictions on public corruption charges. It would be groundbreaking for the House to kick out Santos before his case in federal court is resolved.

There's not really an established precedent for booting Congress members out before a conviction. So, while I agree he's a 10/10 shitbag, I think there's value of letting due process play out and then kick him to the curb.

Gym Jordan's gonna bust out his finest blazer.

The name comes from the barrels of soda crackers that could be found for sale in small-town stores across the American South in the early 1900s; people would stand around the barrels chatting and catching up, similar in purpose to contemporary office water coolers.

Burritos are easy to meal prep. Make your own shit and stop paying these clowns.

Could try 3D printing. I recently picked up an Ender 3 printer and have been having a lot of fun. I'm in a pretty good spot with a few figures printed and I'm ready to start doing the clean up and polishing type stuff. After I feel like I have a good process I'll start figuring out the best ways to paint.

It's been a fun hobby with a seemingly endless amount of depth, so there's always something to learn or just improve your current process.

The printer I got, plus the filament was around $195 to get started. Budget permitting I think its a fun creative outlet.

Have you tried applying to marketing agencies? They typically have a need for general web/software type work.

Pretty good. Labor day is a paid day off for me. Wife has to work though, but that just means I get to pal around with my son all day.

I'd recommend taking another pass at marketing agencies. Of the 4 I worked for, 2 were fully remote, and 1 was hybrid.

If you're web savvy, you'll likely be building and maintaining WordPress sites. Other responsibilities might be working on integrations to help CRM (Customer Realationship Management) software connect with other platforms. There could be other stuff to do, but my time in agencies was mostly stuff like that.

We have a white noise machine for my son in his room, but having it handy via Spotify is nice for using it in the car.
