So I fixed a hammer today.
It required two other hammers and a replacement hickory handle, and a blowtorch and an anvil, and a piece of steel.
But it was fucking awesome, if a little cyclical. I always like it when I can turn a broken tool back into a usable tool.

I still feel like our best contribution to the internet in the last few months has been suggesting that @kmfdm284.bsky.social join bluesky - I'm sure I'm not the only person who did, and I'm even sure that I'm not the reason why they did, but it's still nice to have them on this side of the fence.

If you're criminalizing things like homelessness instead of applying resources to solve the issue, then there's something wrong with your society.

I think boot-licking peckerwood is going to be my new highly secret, totally professional term for 55-year-old conservative white men who pretend that shared racism somehow gets them an invite to the kids table at Mar-A-Lago...

I also just realized that one of Master Roshi's kinks is being slapped by beautiful women - he's a top-notch martial artist who can move faster than the human eye can follow, but he still somehow always manages to get bitch-slapped when he's doing something perverted.
He's letting it happen.

Today I learned - one of the materials used for lining the inside of a forge prior to operation is called Satanite.

We're in a weird time that persists in getting weirder every time we so much as even point out how weird it is.
I know it's not going to go away if I just ignore it, and eventually it's going to get so weird that we're going to have to do something.
I do wonder how weird it will get before then.

Spent all day doing a lot of cleaning and a lot of crafts.
Which in my personal case means emptying out boxes of old knives and putting them back together, but hey.
We all have coping mechanisms.

If you're waiting for the Democrats to come save us, I hate to tell you this - but they're not going to.
If you don't understand why, I encourage you to watch WWE for any amount of time, at least long enough to figure out two things - that it's rigged, and that the only real winner is the house.

The only thing worse than somebody who does Nazi shit because they believe in it is somebody who endorses Nazi shit for money.
The first person operates from a fucked up ideology, but the second person is willing to sell anybody out for anything.
And those two are the people in the White House.

So today, I saw an ad on Facebook for an allegedly Indian business called Swastik international...
And another advertisement that was a puritanical rant against pornography masquerading itself as a concern against porn addiction.
What the actual fuck is going on here?

I think I'm going to start making a rule that anyone that wants to have a serious conversation with me online has to do so here, because the other two prevailing social media choices are basically State media right now.

So, the old country is a roasting shit show right now.
Also, since the fact checking and other considerations have gone out the window, Facebook is also kind of a shit show - I still haven't managed to get myself banned yet, though apparently you still can't say Nazi.

I call bullshit on the apologies being issued for Elon Musks Heil Hitler moment earlier today.
I don't have room for fascism apologists in my life right now, so if that's you? Stay the fuck off my lawn.
For the rest of y'all? Stay safe. It's going to get fucking weird.

David Lynch died today.
Although I haven't seen all of his work I have seen enough of it to know that he is a purveyor of one of my favorite forms of storytelling - wherein you have a growing deficit of knowledge, everything you find out only begs more questions.
Plus - Angelo Badalamente, so.

Definitely worth a watch. I'm going to put it back to the first episode and hit play again now.

So I've decided to put more effort into some things. One of those things is actually posting here on the thinking man's alternative to the shitshow formerly known as Twitter.
The other thing is finishing my second book, and maybe forming my first book out to a publisher to see if I can make money.
