I owe Aldo Raine a debt.
a man in a military uniform is standing in front of a building and says `` and i want my scalps '' .

Digital illustration based on the Night on Bald Mountain sequence from Fantasia (1940). Chernobog, a black and purple horned demon with huge bat wings is at center. He is gigantic, seated within the peak of the titular mountain with flames rising up around his waist. His wings are outstretched across the greenish-blue swirling sky and he is waving his arms around to direct the howling winds and spooks and ghosts to do his bidding. Some of these apparitions surround a swirl of ghostly lettering reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

I don't need to send you the operator's manual @heinrich.senate.gov @lujan.senate.gov @repgabevasquez.bsky.social but I know it's early on a Saturday and I want to throw my full support behind a call for impeachment. I don't care about the chance of success; the process must start now.

I said pretty much this exact thing when I contacted my Rep tonight. This is a blood-red line of illegality and anyone not AT MINIMUM calling for impeachment should be driven out of office and public life.

Any Representative or Senator not filing articles of impeachment over this circus as soon as they get into the office is unworthy of their station and unfit for the job

Good morning @heinrich.senate.gov @lujan.senate.gov @repgabevasquez.bsky.social I'm in NM2 and these executive branch actions in Venezuela are clearly illegal. Congress must use all available, enshrined Constitutional methods to address this issue immediately.

Digital illustration of a New Year’s good luck lemon pig. A lemon on toothpick legs, with triangular ear flaps cut from the rind, eyes made of two whole cloves, and a mouth cut into the snouty end that holds a penny, and finally a curly foil tail stuck in the opposite end. On a greenish background, I t’s surrounded by rough yellow lettering outlined in orange reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

2025 was unrelenting and awful and, thankfully, is over today. To mark the end of my contractual work with this year, I requested an exit interview with HR. Here it is in full. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

Stephenson's SEVENEVES is one of my favorite SF novels and it's $2 for Kindle and other eReaders right now. A sprawling, ambitious epic that uses his interests to great effect.

#Albuquerque will *obliterate* the record high average monthly temperature for December by a seemingly-impossible margin.
December 2025 will end up at an average temperature of 47.0°F, which is 4.7°F above the previous record high. This would be a typical March, not December.

Only 8 states and DC have minimum salaries for teachers that exceed the minimum salary that ICE is offering to agents. Yet, unlike ICE agents, teachers in every state are required to have a bachelor's degree.
Chart showing the states with the highest starting salaries for teachers. Only DC offers starting salaries over $60K/year. And only 8 states offer starting salaries greater than ICE's $52,205/year. Figure showing starting salaries for teachers by state, with some states starting as low as $35,674/year.

LEMON PIIIIIIIG
A pig-resembling lemon, with cloves for eyes, toothpick legs, a twine tail, and a penny in its "mouth" stands on a white plate. Its ears are small triangles pulled up from the peel to show the pith beneath.
