Yeah, it isn't a masterpiece, but it is a good movie that I enjoyed the hell out of and supports the kind of sentiment we need these days. Superman was definitely a win, as was the usual Friday movie night with my favorite person. :)

A 17 year old transgender man in New Zealand died after extreme family rejection.
Now, Radio New Zealand and the far right is deadnaming him and trying to use his case to advocate AGAINST gender affirming care.
It's shameful.

It is difficult to write and grade a technical certification exam on underlying principles, but so many entry or lower level certifications these days are regurgitating memorized names/terms and matching them up to definitions. Planning to be an expert later? Work to learn the principles, too.

Have to say I am more interested in David Hogg's approach than that of the DNC. We're not going to get anywhere with more of the same-old, same-old centrism.

Well, finally saw Brave New World. A lesser attempt at trying to capture the Winter Soldier, and a waste of Anthony Mackie's performance. He deserves a better movie. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't particularly good.

Took way too many hours and a lot of sheetrock cut and replaced, but more new network jacks in place in the house, including the one I need to be able to stop having a cable run across 2 rooms between servers and router. Now up to 7 wired ports in the patch panel. Many to go, but not this week.
