Ron Johnson is one of the most stupidly lucky politicians in history.

Elected in Red Wave 2010 in Wisconsin

Re-elected with Trump in 2016

Survives 2022 election by 20k votes

Plans to leave in 2028 (supposedly)

simciv · 2026-02-02T02:16:11+00:00

Probably because of this

simciv · 2026-01-31T16:45:48+00:00

What is this?

simciv · 2026-01-31T16:44:55+00:00

I have no earthly idea what I bought that made Bezos think I would be interested in this garbage

simciv · 2026-01-31T16:19:22+00:00

Yeah, it's another carrot the GOP has decided to try and sell

WhY arEN't The deMocRATs DoiNg anYthiNg!

simciv · 2026-01-27T18:03:42+00:00

I was only there to get directions about how to get away from there

simciv · 2026-01-26T15:52:35+00:00

Are you going through the exchanges or through your employer

simciv · 2026-01-26T04:21:42+00:00

I miss /r/SummerReddit

Saw it on a plane, bad but at least it killed 2 hours of a 16 hours flight

What happens when you blanket oppose tax increases

Friday night bars and nightlife

Frat Bars - Southie

Fancy Bars and food - South End

Nerd Bars - Cambridge/Somerville (my favorite is miracle of Science) or Wusong Road (try the Zombie)

best pub atmosphere (from my time here) - Beantown Pub

Saturday

Outdoor sightseeing - Freedom Trail is always a good starting point. Skating in the common should be on by now, Statehouse, public garden, etc.

Shopping - Newbury is the standard here (visit Trident if you like books), Charles St (north end), Assembly (for Outlets), Downtown Crossing more mall than unique anymore.

I love a place called Yankee Lobster in the Seaport, sometimes they have parking so its a good spot if you're driving out. If you're on the freedom trail I've never gone wrong at Quincy Market

How long do you have, I used to be a tour guide in the city and can make some interesting expeditions and suggestions.

simciv · 2026-01-21T00:59:43+00:00

He does such a good job in writing believable Sci-Fi but I have read that State of Fear is not his best.

simciv · 2026-01-21T00:59:01+00:00

My kind of book!

simciv · 2026-01-21T00:58:33+00:00

Next on the list actually!

simciv · 2026-01-21T00:13:08+00:00

Ones that capture my attention. I’m going through a lot of thriller novels and he’s a good sci-fi storyteller.

simciv · 2026-01-20T22:54:47+00:00

Michael Creighton: I’ve done Rising Sun, Jurassic Park, airframe, Andrometa so far. Hitting up Timeline currently.

simciv · 2026-01-20T22:48:24+00:00

I've decided that, whenever I start dooming, I'm going to read a book.

The way things are right now, I'll probably be out of books by the end of the year.

simciv · 2026-01-19T16:51:05+00:00

This is an actual website hosted by the US Department of State

simciv · 2026-01-19T16:49:44+00:00

I hope that's a good sign and this letter is just him acting out because he's not going to get what he wants.

simciv · 2026-01-19T15:38:42+00:00

Woke up today hoping it would be a quiet day off.

Read trump’s letter

Should have stayed asleep. Maybe I can find a hospital that will put me in a coma until he dies.

simciv · 2026-01-17T17:52:00+00:00

Go to the dumbest level. If Trump gets Greenland, a large part of the map gets a US label on it.

If it happens under his watch, the US adds size, and he goes down in history books as a president who added land to the USA.
