I don't take myself too seriously. Neither should you.
I can't imagine how disorienting the current political climate must be for Harrison Ford.

I am taking a security training on the dangers of deep fake technology. The presenter is AI generated.

Sigh.

If you're wondering how my day is going, I am sitting in a waiting room so Henry can get imaging on the arm he broke in two places, and the waiting room speaker is playing some MAGA song called "81 Million Votes My Ass."

Random thought from a Harford County resident:

It's surprising to me that an establishment named "Lib's Grill" can stay in business, here.

Just purchased a new (to me) vehicle, and am unable to pair it to the garage door opener.

Now I have to move, right?

"Lies." The word here is "lies," not "claims."

Why do we fail to acknowledge easily identifiable, ludicrous lies?

Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled.

If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.

If only there were a government department dedicated to identifying and ending unnecessary governmental spending... one who was unmoved by the cost of such governmental activities being wildly outpaced by their benefits.
Trump defends the high price tag for his military parade: 'Peanuts compared to the value'
In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Trump also outlined a White House renovation he hopes to carry out — which he said he will pay for himself.

Re: Sen. Booker's speech, it is possible for two things to be true:

1. This is performative, and insufficient unless part of a larger effort by Congressional Dems to disrupt the united government voters handed the Republican party.

2. It is better than nothing, which was the previous approach.

Showing my trans kid 'Casablanca' in 2025 America is... more intense than I was ready for it to be.

My actual dude. The country gave the Republicans control of the government. Unified government. The Dems are a minority party with little ability to obstruct. Because of the choice of voters.

We're all finding out, and this is not the minority's fault.
Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

So can we look forward to hearing how DEI and Lloyd Austin are to blame, right?

All while cabinet secretaries prostrate themselves while making direct eye contact with Dear Leader, I presume.

These airport rules I keep hearing so much about are not all they're cracked up to be:

Arrived at the airport at 4:30, and the bar is not open.

I thought anything goes in these unprecedented times?

Many Americans don't seem troubled by the casual cruelty inflicted upon migrants by the current regime in Washington.

I suspect those same Americans won't be concerned about the fact that the regime has also made arrangements to enable it to send American citizens to jails in El Salvador.
Rubio says El Salvador offers to accept deportees from US of any nationality, including Americans
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says El Salvador’s president “has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world."

It's interesting how far the "party of small government" will reach when it is in power.

I miss snow days.

My while house is home today, and I'm stuck behind a desk. Maybe I'll have a "router problem" later l.

Both humans in the room have a cat in their lap, and the dog would like to speak to our manager about the situation.
