Memos have been distributed to instill fear, warning federal employees that layoffs will begin if not enough people accept Elon’s buyout. This no longer feels voluntary.

The plumber/furnace guy is here. He called to see if he could come early.
I have him in my phone as Brendan. And apparently, that's all that's necessary. I have an old house. I'm on a first name basis with my plumber.

I'm neuridiverse and I have a real problem with the user interface on this app. I had one with the T app too. I have to think about why.

Heikki Lunta decided to spend the winter in Florida this year. Occasionally he would think of the UP and say "Eh, let it snow" and then he'd go to the beach and would forget about the UP.
He snowbirded back last week and went "Well, shit. Back to work" and we've gotten 3 feet of snow since then.

So how do you find out Facebook is down, if Facebook is down? I immediately assume I've been hacked. ... nope... after 15 texts from various relatives and friends.
Hey! Facebook is DOWN! What's the backup? Bluesky and Messenger. WOO! How's your Tuesday going?

The folks at Marquette Mountain (a ski hill about 100 miles from here) did the Heikki Lunta Snow Dance last Friday and turned the Lake Superior snow machine on. About 2 feet of snow since this Friday. Lake Effect still falling. About an inch in the past 40 minutes. Woo! Winter is here!
