Deeply held beliefs: contemporary Country music is stupid. These guys can't hold a candle to Waylon, Willie, Merle or Hank.

Buh-bye, Hulu. Maybe I'll be back. Maybe not. This depends on y'all and whether you grow some balls.

My TV tuner has been disconnected for a while. I'm not seeing a compelling reason to reconnect my tuner to the antenna at this point. Sigh.

Listening to The Dollop's discussion of Bill Clinton. Came to the horrifying conclusion that Hillary could be justifiably blamed for us having Trump. Hated to say that but this is really the only conclusion I can arrive at here.

I stand with Matthew Dowd. Fuck MSNBC. I once missed having cable because I missed the old MSNBC. That channel is now as trash as Fox, Newsmax, and the rest of the shitty channels that claim to be news but which real journalists can no longer recognize as such.

I’d rather not see the flag fly than see it flying at half staff for an agitator. He didn’t deserve to be assassinated, but he shouldn’t be celebrated.

Soooo... Does the notion of moderate gun control still seem like an extreme idea?

Dear Google, you can fuck right off with Gemini. I don't want it. I'm tired of trying to scrub it off my phone. And dear Microsoft, get your fucking Copilot shit off my work devices. I hate your software enough already, and it only seems to get worse. (And people ask me why I use Linux...)

The other day when I was boarding a flight, I (maybe) inadvertently cropdusted First Class. It was glorious and cathartic. #sorrynotsorry

Putting someone from my past on blast. She abruptly moved from Sacramento to Utah shortly after I met up with her a few times. That traumatic event is now preventing me from being able to have a secure relationship style. Thanks a fucking ton, Jenny, and I hope you experience a slow, painful death.

@edzitron.com I'm imagining you writing a book titled "How Prabhakar Raghavan Destroyed Civilization". The point raised on today's episode how AI probably wouldn't have grown this much if Google had actually innovated instead of enshittificated was glaring. I'm degoogling as quickly as I can now...

I took a little breather there, sorrynotsorry. I am migrating in earnest to the Proton suite. Google Calendar is now ditched. If I can find a way to use the contacts that I migrated to Proton mail on my Android in lieu of Google Contacts, I'd be overjoyed. (Or, anyone have any leads here?)

Trying out Arch on my laptop and getting further with it than I ever have before. Now to figure out the answer to the question: AUR or Flatpaks?
