How is everyone doing this evening? Personally, I have an annoying headache, but hopefully it will subside soon.
I've been getting in a lot of good practice on fingerstyle acoustic guitar the last few days.
I've restarted learning SwiftUI.
Now if I can just find time to read for pleasure...

Some of it is a bit confusing. Also, I am reminded of the frustration of figuring out exactly how to use this information to build an actual functioning program that works.

Awww those poor ICE agents, getting whistles blown at them. So much worse than being assaulted and zip tied and dragged off to a detention center for no valid reason whatsoever.
Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

Trump is setting this nation back to a time when people thought it was normal to incarcerate and torture nearly 16,500 Japanese Americans, including yourself and your family, in "relocation camps" in my state of Arkansas. It was wrong then, and it is wrong now. No, it does not have to be this way.

Now I'm being told that a work of art only qualifies as "actual art" if it is made "by hand."
As soon as people start making such statements, they are doing exactly what I described in my TLDR post from earlier today.
Do your own thing. Don't let anyone make you feel like your work doesn't count.

Here’s a fact that no one wants to face:
We are NOT going to be able to wait until the election in 2026 to stop that asshole from a total authoritarian take over of this country.
The TX capitulation is proof of that.

ICE arrested the father of one of the volunteers at the food bank our podcast network partners with. The volunteer has worked over 400 hours helping distribute food to those in need. The food bank is raising money to help his family. You can give here: www.gofundme.com/f/ice-arrest...

Three rural women risking life and limb to hang out in DC after dark.
Just kidding. We had a blast. DC is as safe as any other city I’ve visited including several in Missouri. Trump is a liar and a fascist.

This week, Jay Kuo exposes how Trump and the GOP are laying the groundwork to rig the 2026 midterms, and Amelia Mavis Christnot tells the story of Indigenous ironworkers who helped build America. Don't miss either piece.

One of the most frequent comments and fears expressed from readers is that Trump is planning to outright cancel next year’s midterm elections.

So I was thinking about this same thing. I have a Switch. I don't use it very often. However, I like the design of the Switch 2 better and it is something I'm considering even though, like you @ectafoole.bsky.social, I know I don't need it.
it feels inevitable that I will buy a Switch 2 at some point but I know I do not need it

Trump accepted a $400M luxury jet from Qatar.
But for Trump to use the plane, it has to be secure.
What will it cost to modify and take the plane apart? At least $1 BILLION from taxpayers.
Trump’s hiding that by using funds from one of our nuclear programs.
I’m pushing back.

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.
