On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

Stay safe out there today, friends and remember that, just like Gondor:

America has no king.
America needs no king.

So it’s a little early, but I can finally share that I (with help) have built my first PC! In true gamer fashion I’ve crammed as many rainbows into it as I could to show my support of the LGBTQ community ahead of Pride month!

CNN (Corellian News Network) is reporting that, protesting the new tariffs, the Trade Federation is blockading the planet of Naboo until said tariffs are repealed.

Last night I finally (with lots of help) put together my first custom pc. I’ve put Linux (Ubuntu) on it. First time really using/figuring out Linux.

Man, Linux really is the “if it makes a strange noise I’m getting my shotgun” of operating systems, isn’t it?

Work is still continuing on the next version of the QuickDraw system, in the meantime I thought I’d show you what I’ve done most of the typing on. I don’t think it quite qualifies as a #cyberdeck

Does the existence of “Nerddom” imply the existence of a “Nerdsub?” We know “fandoms” and “fansubs” exist….

I heard they didn’t use any CGI for Red Hulk; they just told Harrison Ford he had to be in another Star Wars film
