Sitting in a big comfy chair, reading, pondering...

I try to write something serious (and probably very wise and insightful, to be sure)

But I'm derailed by this.

If only it was a rare occurrence...

Well, this is both really cool & interesting, as well as a bit terrifying.

What a time to be alive, I guess?

MAGA deports veterans.

MAGA deports immigrants here LEGALLY.

MAGA deports US citizens.

MAGA deports CHILDREN.

MAGA does not care.

MAGA = hate, bigotry, and selfishness
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Businesses should recognize that Google's ads have an enormous idiotic flaw. I spend lots of time researching a product, I make a choice and buy it.

Then Google floods me with ads for weeks after for something I've already bought.

1989, baby boomers in their 30s were the most stressed and pressured (unrealistic standards & goals) generation in history, driven to drugs, alcohol, and (squints) therapy?

Do we all say the same shit about our generation decade after decade?

Trouble with binging a good series over a holiday weekend is now I gotta wait SIX MONTHS for the next book!
After initial suspicion and doubt over the weirdly obsessive praise by fans for @dungeoncrawlercarl.bsky.social, I had a spare Audible token and gave it a shot.

Yeah, I'm friggin hooked. It is good, and excellently produced as an audiobook, too.

Ever wonder why 90+% of servers (and any/all critical machines) run on Linux?

www.neowin.net/news/microso...

This is after an agonizingly slow, vocal, and forced deprecation of Windows 10, mind you.
Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken
Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 Shell and every associated core feature and element are actually broken, and have been like this for many months.

Spectrum: some day this week you'll lose internet. We won't tell you until the day of.
Me: 😒

Spectrum: but work takes place overnight! Minimal disruption!
Me: 😌

Spectrum: work has started! Schedule: 6am - 4pm. You BELIEVED US?! Hahhahaha!!! Fuck you and your job!

I remind myself that the workers as USPS are good people, doing their job and under a lot of stress lately.

But my package reached a state distribution center, then Columbus, then a city next to mine, then my town... then ended back at the major center an hour away.

Every. Single. Day. This. Week.

For the first time in my life, I am sorely tempted to not vote for any Democrats in 2026 purely to send a message.

This is the kind of shit I hated in the past. But this idiots in charge won't listen, won't change, and don't care.

Nothing will stop them.

We need a new party.

From 2924 and more applicable than ever.

@democrats.org don't want to govern or represent their base. They want money.

Both parties work for the same owner (owning class) and it sure as hell ain't the people.
