A gray haired nerd in Ohio, after way too many other States.

Putting the garden to bed for the cold, hoping that I get more done next season.
Oddly, this post wouldn't allow comments . . .

I lived through two software development projects that explicitly embodies this idea, one before the cliche was stated.

Both failed to fully grasp the need to have an unbroken thing at the end. Just keep smashing, Hulk.
people hear tech guys say their ethos is Move Fast and Break Things, they mentally add "in pursuit of Innovation" but no, breaking things is the means and the end. they move fast to get a spot under the next piñata, cause if you break the things these guys break, most times a lot of money falls out

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Tonight in my slow nostalgia crawl -- Star Trek: Patterns of Force.

That's the episode where a well intended historian, oopsied, and recreated Nazi society.

We were warned. Warned at so many levels.

My name is Jonathan Nez. I’m the former President of the Navajo Nation.

I am running for Congress to defeat MAGA Republican Eli Crane, flip Arizona’s 2nd blue, and take back the house.

Repost this, give me a follow, and let’s win this.

A bit of context for the rest of the world. (I'm mostly from the DC suburbs.)

Trump is a little boy from Queens.

NYC and DC have been at odds FOR DECADES. He hates anything and everything about DC, just because.

NYC thinks DC is dirty and primitive. DC thinks NYC is corrupt and uppity. Etc.

@antitoxicpeople.bsky.social‬ posted a pic that reminded me of a day. I spent the 72-73 year outside Newport, RI. My end of the world had woods to wander. My classmate's house had woods across the street with walls. Like 10 yo boys we vainly tried to climb a gate, and met security guards.

Evening viewing -- The Twilight Zone: He's Alive

A neo-nazi is guided by H's spirit.

Last time I watched it, it felt like advice. This time it feels far too current.

In this glorious Next War weekend just a reminder that one answer to the Fermi Paradox ("Where are all the ETs?") is that civilizations tend to destroy themselves soon after developing rockets.

My first 20 years I assumed I'd be nuked. After a 40 year break, here I am again.
