Did some webstuff for the you-know-whos to make ‘em findable. Retraining on more core networking, security, and trying to make more cacti and wildflowers.
I had a rough day, had to write emergency essay explaining how I became a better student somewhere between 1992 and today, and had maybe two paragraphs, had to omit details like getting hit hard in the head and trying to drink myself to death in Barack Obama's hotel room.

Saw some @kstptv.bsky.social coverage of impact of Walz announcing he will not run again. They interviewed old people at St. Paul’s most pretentious coffeeshops and barbershops. Near unanimous sighs of relief from folks who would have still voted for him, even though they forecast a loss.

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

Trumpian imperialism in action: kidnap the head of the regime, leaving the rest of it in place so as to access the oil reserves for the US companies. Then realize the oil is actually quite expensive to extract, so go ahead and SUBSIDIZE the oil companies. Perfect.
