Been thinking about David Brin’s novella “Thor Meets Captain America” from 1986.

I like the novella better than The Life Eaters, the graphic novel extending the story, though it’s good

I guess my point is, the breaking point of power is when the powerless stop believing. Starting to see that now

That Geico ad where the lizard has his choice of a thousand Stars hats and rejects them all. Really humanizes the lizard

How many more ICE agents are convicted felons?

Wagoneer as a brand is essentially shot as far as I’m concerned, one pulled up next to me on our dog-walk and I stoped to see who got out

About to participate in the biggest lie I routinely encounter: that this package contains two servings

I wonder if this could be done with commercial coyote piss? Might need to dedicate a pan if it has to be hot
An emulsification of glitter, glue, a touch of dish soap and hot water poured into a portable projectile, like a balloon, is such a handy way to mark trees or cars that change license plates or other stuff that moves around. Difficult to wash off and reflective at night.

For some reason this struck me funny this afternoon. This is a small patch of sidewalk in my back yard that doesn’t drain well. All the grit I’ve put on it to date is embedded in the ice. You probably can’t see it, but there are multiple layers of frozen grit

Milwaukee “Cream City” court is acceptable to me

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.
Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

These guys are exhausted after barking at me outside this afternoon while I chipped up icy sidewalks down the block. They‘re snoring

I personally wrecked myself before I checked myself, I cleared all the easy ice days ago. The remaining ice is hard as fuck

Weird stress reactions going on with me. Last night around midnight decided to listen to 2nd sides of both Low and Heroes

Cannot remember a time when I‘ve seen a pro kicker make a field goal

My wife asked me to check NextDoor because there was a traffic backup near our house and now I need to scour my eyeballs

I know everything is super fucked-up, but my wife just turned on an NHL game for something to watch and my heart is singing

Easiest way to freeze me into inaction is to send me a box I have no actual use for once I unpack it, but for which I can envision multiple improbable uses

In these times there needs to be a setting on the BlueSky client that checks if I am replying to a non-mutual, or a non-follower, and asks “are you sure?”

Jeeves found some figuratively 1000-year-old cheese popcorn crumbs and is now annoyingly enthusiastic about a continued search

City truck is out on Grand Ave in Saint Paul filling potholes. Glad to see it!

This was the intent of this HEAVILY EDITED video which seamlessly edits out the three deadly shots
The Vice President of the United States has somehow reached the conclusion that this video is exculpatory.
