Photographer, lawyer, tampeño by marriage, very nearly a New Zealander, parent, partner. I defend marginalized people, and I punch fascists.

While I understand why it happens, I block constant outrage and handwringing and main characters.

My first official action on Blue Sky is to block the word "trump". #selfcare

As good as Synology is, it’s about 3% as user friendly as Drobo was. I cannot believe the amount of time I waste sorting out network mount issues on this thing.

Bluesky is about jokes now right?

Spouse: “I’ve got a good name of a perimenopausal-menopausal specialist”

My brain, promptly: 🎶I’m the perimenopausal-menopausal specialist / I help ladies with their changing bodies’ needs and interests / I’m a helpful doctor and a valuable practitionist; I’m a perimenopausal-menopausal specialist🎶

The family is watching Severance in the living room and … it’s fine I guess? It’s ‘Lost’ 2.0. I don’t understand why people are going bonkers about the show. It’s certainly not bad but it’s not a generational event or anything. It’s a puzzle box show with a monotonous soundtrack.

Y'all are going to have to pace yourselves.

One thing about living in #florida nobody ever talks about: it's impossible to find nature. I want to go camping--walk into the woods, find a spot, and camp--and it's incredibly difficult.

I don't want "campsite features". I want nature. It's awful. (And surprising--it's so beautiful here.)

If I could find a way to permanently mute people who use "liberal" to mean some variant of "conservative" because they're edgy leftists who read a pamphlet in college, I'd do that.

I've been disparaged by the right for being a liberal--meaning left--for decades. You look silly.

Ahhhhh, much, much better.

I never want to hear another syllable about that stupidity engine.

Now I don't have to hear 750 different videos sharing the same excerpt of "Like a Prayer" during the day, or thoughts on politics that rehash arguments disproven by years of reality.

Also, ALSO, you've had months and months to find an alternative platform. All the handwringing at the end ... oh my god, what did you think was going to happen?

I cannot begin to describe how much I don't care about the Tiktok ban. It's a brainrot platform filled with self-obsessed people who aren't as smart as they think. But it's also of almost zero importance compared to mass deportations and whatnot.

Humans don't have a good sense of scale. I'm reading this thing about Star Wars, marveling that at its peak the Empire had 20,000 star destroyers. And I'm like "that's all? for a galaxy??" I'm not sure 20k could lock down our solar system.

Are all of these “DOT sues Southwest” stories happening because enforcement is ticking up or because there isn’t news to cover? If the former, is it because Dems want to paint GOP as hostile when they inevitably drop the claims?

Maybe better to get results yourselves gang??

I like Jill Biden a lot, but this is insane. Complaining about getting knifed because you were *friends*? How do you spend 50 years in politics without knowing friendship has nothing to do with it?

Pam Bondi saying no one in America is above the law is pretty rich given the concern over her willingness to stand up to a presidency that is, by law, above the law.

I just picked up my old Canon 5D #camera and, goodness, it makes mirrorless cameras look like toys. It’s still a powerhouse more than a decade later.

The worst part of MS Teams? If you put it on a virtual desktop/workspace, it will not stay there.

Did a little walking around Crystal River yesterday. Lovely area.

My wife and I couldn't have a more different attitude towards #football. I hate it. She loves it. It's a little more nuanced than that: I can enjoy college ball, and college ball is her love. She enjoys having pro ball on as environmental noise, I can't be in the same room with it.

I don't really understand the socioeconomics of LA. The news will show an unemployed guy who is "fighting to save the flamingos on his 17-acre Malibu estate." Are these third sons of money or something?

I know we're 10 days from things going to hell in a handbasket, but it's been a nice 48 hours for deplorable weirdos dying, between Anita Bryant and the pizzagate shooter.

Yay!

PS. Normalize being happy when bad things happen to bad people.
