Old gamer, love my Swedish Vallhunds, dabble in astrophotography, and also known as Dukrous in other spaces. Say hi!

This meme haunts my nightmares.
A man in a blue polo and light slacks is tipping a small domino. There are a dominos in front of it of increasing size. The smallest domino reads “Lowtax bans hentai” while the largest domino reads “Collapse of western civilization.”

The amount of MAGAs I've had to introduce to Washington's Letter to Catholics, who were among the first groups to be denied full citizenship. Had we set those philosophies in stone this would fully exclude JD Vance's chosen religion and the many adherents who currently align with his philosophies.
A partial image from George Washington's Letter to Catholics from March 1790. "As mankind become more liberal they will be more apt to allow, that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the Community are equally entitled to the protection of civil Government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations in examples of justice and liberality. And I presume that your fellow-citizens will not forget the patriotic part which you took in the accomplishment of their Revolution, and the establishment of their Government: or the important assistance which they received from a nation in which the Roman Catholic faith is professed."

Good weekend for Stan the Man. Two best of breed finishes. Also clinched his third major and third champion defeat today. All he needs is 7 more points to Grand Champion.

He’s 14 months old. 🙂

It took Kirby, our previous Vallhund, 3 1/2 years to get his grand.

Inside a large convention center, there is a small wheeled platform. A Swedish vallhund, a small herding breed colored sable grey and tan, sits on the platform with a man (yours truly) holding his leash.

Tell me you didn't read the original linked article without telling me you didn't read the original linked articled.
This decision reinforces the idea that copying for non-commercial, transformative purposes—like making a book searchable, training an AI, or preserving web pages—can be lawful under fair use. That legal protection is essential to modern librarianship. In fact, the court’s analysis strengthens the legal groundwork that libraries have relied on for years. As with the Google Books decision, it affirms that digitization for research, discovery, and technological advancement can align with copyright law, not violate it.

I’ve officially become a sheep farmer. Why, you may ask? Because my wife is at the point where she needs livestock at home to practice for herding competitions. At least Kirby looks happy. #swedishvallhund #dogs #sheep #herding
A derpy looking Swedish vallhund dog is laying on the floor in the foreground with his tongue lolling out. He’s got a very satisfied look on his face while behind him six sheep munch on some hay.

I signed up for The Wand Company’s Star Trek Tricorder on day one. Almost five years later, and I finally have one. Worth every penny and it’ll soon have a permanent display spot next to my Star Trek Communicator.
A prop replica of a tricorder from Star Trek original series in the 1960s. It’s closed and held in a man’s hand. The tricorder is mostly black with two silver handles for panels that fold out and has black trim over a silver frame. The tricorder display flipped open. On the left is a screen that takes up around 60% of the panel showing the text “Tricorder” followed by “USS Enterprise NCC-1701 Standard Issue”. Below that is the time in 24 hour format showing 17:48:18 on Monday 2025-05-12. The name “Heredia” is in the lower left of the screen and the lower middle and right shows three buttons reading “Logs”, “Prop”, and “Settings”. Next to the display is a small gold foil square. Below the square are three jewel lights glowing yellow, green, and orange respectively. Each light has a small round button below it.

Today Stan turned 1 year old. He also got his Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog Novice. He heard “CGC” and thought it was a certificate to go crazy, though. #SwedishVallhund #DogsOfBluesky

Stolen shameless from Facebook.
I NEVER UNFRIEND PEOPLE OVER POLITICS A Handy Guide to Understanding my Social Media Behavior Here are some examples of Political Issues "Should we levy another school tax this year?" "Is the maximum building height for this zone appropriate, or should We alter it?" "Do we need a light rail for our city?" "How much of our state Budget should go to road upkeep this year?" I don't unfriend people over stuff like this Here are some examples of Not Political Issues "Are gay people human beings?" "Should women be paid the same as men?" "Are Nazis bad?" "Is extortion bad?" "Are war crimes bad?" "Why can't presidents abuse power?" "Are black people bad?" I unfriend people over stuff like this

My Kirby would just bark at you about a topic only he feels passionately about then curl up at your feet.

I’m still impressed by the @steamdeck.com daily. I have the LCD and OLED LE versions, but I needed the white one.

@valvesoftware.com, please don’t release one next year. I have no idea where I will put it but apparently I have no willpower for Steam Deck LEs.
