Yes, I'm that one.
Just a former evil banker with a twisted sense of humor who has a secret identity as a normal person.

Do not donate a single cent to **any** politician until congress does something to stop ICE. Tell them. Write and call your representatives. No money to Democrats or Republicans until ICE is stopped. Dry up their funds. It is the only way to get their attention and force them to act.

As the conclusion to Australian Open approaches, my #Sundance begins. I'll be binging as many movies that is physically possible between today and Sunday. Pray for me (j/k) and pray for your timeline.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.
I actually played this via timesharing on a TI Silent 700 before the office got a WANG Word Processing sys that had the game installed. Early 80's baby!
Somewhere I think I still have all my hand drawn maps of all the rooms and routes.

The Inspiring New Movie About a Neighborhood That Stood Up To an Immigration Raid—and Won
The most timely movie at this year’s Sundance Film Festival is also a lot of fun.

If you have not yet read @adamserwer.bsky.social on Minnesotans' heroics, you are going to feel way better when you do. He went there. He talked to the people doing the work. Then he thought about it and produced something rare. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... [gift link]

Remembering the Challenger 7, lost 40 years ago today, with Jean Michel Jarre's "Last Rendez-vous (Ron's Piece)" performed at his massive Houston concert in April 1986. Astronaut Ron McNair was going to record the sax part for this performance during the mission. It was played by Kirk Whalum.
