I am allegedly flying from Seattle to Dublin via Aer Lingus in a couple of hours. There is no check-in counter at the airport, no place to drop bags, and zero information online except a boarding gate. Will I actually fly out of here tonight?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

They also covered the People of Color in Cryptologic History honorees—like Wash Wong and Ralph Adams.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

I'm so sorry to see what's happened to Los Angeles. Please, if you can see smoke, wear an N95 mask to protect your lungs! I promise that struggling mightily to breathe five years down the road is not where you want to go with the smoke from these fires.

There was something so beautiful about this moment in front of the Naval Memorial when President Carter was transferred to the horse-drawn caisson with the setting sun shining through over his casket.

I made a nice lunch for everyone. And then I came home and made a nice dinner.

President Biden appointing 61 Black LIFETIME judges during his time in office is a serious flex.

He understood the damn assignment.

There are bots here too; someone sent me a private message with "Hey! How's it going?" so I asked for a poem mentioning the work of Foucault. I immediately received "Hey! How's it going?" BLOCKED.
