Quick Head's up: my Feed Server just went down (all of my Feeds, not just Balloon Juice). I recommend using the List in the meantime.

Today's drama: the old icicle lights for the front porch have, um, large unlit gaps. I checked, and they're the old Target Wonderyear incandescents. Into the trash! No more Target, no more incandescents.
Will be picking up some LED multicolored icicles at Ace tomorrow.

As I was composing an e-mail to support, I flipped over and checked my Sky reader (thank you @jcsalterego.bsky.social) and voila! the feeds all updated.
Hopefully this presages well for the rest of the day (we got an inch of rain between 8:07 and now, all of my local streets are flooded 🌊).

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Since this whole debate is still happening, and since we are still not listening I will summarize what I understand the argument to be in the Lingua Franca of white nerds: Lord of the Rings analogies.
white cis men blocking people of color and other members of vulnerable communities because their risk factor is a lot different than ours is peak white nonsense.
It's also how I know they don't give a shit about us.
