Well, the power's out in North Seattle. Apparently a "vault system" in Northgate caught fire. I wonder what those are. From the name and the problem, I assume it's important, protected electrical stuff?

This new Superman movie is, by far, the best Superman movie. It is Superman at its most comic bookest. It fully embraces all of the stupid comic book stuff that superhero movies have shied away from for being too silly, and it is so much better for it. A+, exactly what I wanted to watch.

Some dark-eyed juncos built a nest in the little wreath on my front door! It's great, except that now we have to go in and out of the house through the back door.

Just finished @wiswell.bsky.social 's book "Someone You Can Build a Nest In." I cannot over-recommend it. Fantastic. No notes.
I do have a problem where I found out my favorite genre might be cozy neurodivergent ace lesbian fantasy horror romcoms, and I don't know if there is a second one of those.

I've just received an email from the Michigan SoS office: "Your ballot was received and accepted for counting on 11/05/2024."
I feel full of pride and patriotism about this, although I'm a little worried since I've never been to Michigan.

When 30s folks worried about fascism 'carrying a cross and wrapped up in the American flag and a plea for liberty and the Constitution,' they probably were thinking metaphorically and not about candidates stuffing copies of the Constitution into Bibles and selling them wrapped in flags, but wow.

When I'm using a language app like Duolingo, I sometimes get caught up in the arbitrary sentences and start trying to imagine a short story that might call for someone to say something like "the airport isn't here" or "yes, this is America."
