Well this will be an interesting opportunity to learn whether the assertion that foxes are cat firmware running on dog hardware is actually correct, I guess.

I see in a recent release that YouTube for Android has started cold launching into playing a clip it thinks I will be interested in. The program SHALL NOT do this.

And I just checked at a CVS this week -- that's still true; $206 for cash buyers.

He is *already* annihilating the nation. Oh; you mean *Iran*.

I'm going to read your piece first, but I don't believe you. Yes, even you.

Big and Little Enos have come WAY down in the world...

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

"He" has? Donald Trump personally has? Or "for the country"... which is a thing he never means. #Emolument

Looks like Insta isn't giving useful previews to Bluesky. Or at least not right now. I know what you were regramming, though...

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Well, it's obvious to me, certainly, and anyone I need to drive to a polling place -- I'll be free, having long since cast my vote in a dropbox. Now, whether Florida makes *driving someone to the polls* a felony before then...

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Yeah, if you have insurance they're free and if you don't have insurance they're $206 cash on the barrelhead. That has been true ever since Trump killed off the subsidy program a couple of years ago.

And as it turns out the people who tell you that the NFC antenna was moved inside the chassis, from being in the battery, on the Xcover pro 6, are lying sacks. My slightly upgraded though not twice as big replacement battery did not say NFC on it and that was the problem.

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

So far, I'm having a good time with the new one and with Android 16, and even my ADW Launcher2 would still run, without which I would be bereft, and the only thing that was troubling me was that I was trying to dabble in NFC for payment. And I got some NFC Badges and it wouldn't read those either.

Just upgraded to a new model of cell phone for the first time in about a decade. The old one was an LG v20 which would only run Android 8 and all of my applications summarily quit working on that release. The new one is a Samsung X cover 6 Pro ruggedized phone...

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

What a bummer. Even though Github notes suggest it's been fixed, ConnectBot on Android 16 (on my spandy-old Xcover6 Pro) uses a non monospace font in monospace, lets you select or install a font, but still ignores those. Sorry Kenny; not marrying Github to report it's still broken.

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

And it was just as bad in the theatre next door, where we were trying to watch the limited run of Hadestown. Looking at you, AMC Sundial 17...

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Oh yes; I saw that in a double feature with the second Dirty Dancing film. [ Yes, that's a joke for, probably Joel Kim? :-) ]

Hey; while I'm thinking about it; you got any autographed hardcovers of the book?

I replied to Jennings tweet on this by calling him a liar, straight to his face. No reply at all... No reply at all...

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Soon? He's been blaming both of them right along; it's documented...

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Are we *absolutely certain* it's not the @nbcsnl-mirror.bsky.social Film Unit being bored over the summer? Do they have a Marsha Blackburn right now? Ashley Padilla?

Scrap the cap, call the notes.

Well, my jet's in the shop for it's annual, so it'll have to wait. :-}

Oh, nice. Now my only problem is that it's 1600mi away. :-)

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

It's a moral imperative. Sadly, I'd wanna do your dad's stuff, and most of that wasn't in movies. ;-)

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

... because a federal law dating to 1866 makes that illegal.

000

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Because it is -- as is the actual world -- inimical to the desires of the Drumpf regime, and that will never do. This isn't news.

000

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Wouldn't it be pretty to think so. That does not exhaust the set though, in my experience.

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Why "every woman in America" when SCOTUS blocked nationwide injunctions last year in CASA?

Weird flex, but OK. If your boots aren't *lasting you 16 years*, maybe they're not the right boots?

Hey, @npr.org, @kffhealthnews.org, and @katewells.com(?)? The quote from the urgent care owner/doc, amounting to "cause it's not my business" *was the most important part of this story*, as heard on NPR air. Why was it cut from the transcripted version? www.npr.org/2026/04/08/n...

Abortion clinics are closing nationwide. Could urgent care help fill the gap?

When the only clinic that offered abortions in Michigan's rural Upper Peninsula closed, an urgent care decided to step in to fill the gap. Now, others are considering similar moves as brick-and-mortar clinics close in blue states.

I hate to tell @marketplace.org and @ryanbradley.bsky.social this, but that music is actually called production music, and it has existed since at least the late 1970s if not earlier. I have about 250 CDs worth of it in my collection.

010

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Well, good. If he doesn't pay them anymore, they have no ethical reason *not* to tell what they know.

010

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Sure, but neither of those is the solution. Take some profits out of the pockets of corporations, and put it back into wages, where it stopped going in 1980 and things haven't been the same since.

010

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Rules for thee, but not for me.

000

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

... the quora in those houses *change*. If so, the R's will be shooting themselves in the FACE -- the D's will have overwhelming majorities in both much smaller houses, and run the table. I suspect they simply won't *have* a quorum, but I haven't looked yet.

000

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Well, the feds cannot *declare* all current registrations void -- they don't have a finger in that. The US Constitution is EXPLICIT that elections are run by the states, and the states with D govs or SecStates simply won't listen. What I don't know is whether if those states don't elect Members...

210

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Well, Senator Kelly overstates the case just a touch. SAVE itself does not *require everyone* to reregister. It merely makes registering much harder, so that when -- as a separate process -- the GOP forces states to over-purge their rolls, it's hard to get back in time. Process Matters.

031

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

GOP keeps dragging the Overton Window to the right. And since *nearly all Americans* are to the right of the *objective* (DW-Nominate, et alia) center... that's pretty righty.

020

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

You've no doubt seen the Pizzagate followups on this, right?

000

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Good. Cause, by all accounts, if he does that, he essentially guarantees a Democratic trifecta -- and a pretty deep one at that -- in 26 and 28.

000

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Pre-emptive strike: Among the lies Trump will spend 2 hours telling tonight, ones about voting insecurity are the most dangerous, and you should pretty much assume the opposite of everything he says.

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

The State Of Our Union is... mostly gone; Drumpf has demolished most of 250 years of work, and especially the last 80, and we will likely NEVER be able to get all of it back. Thanks, 8M Democrats who couldn't be bothered to vote against him.

Baylink @baylink.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

That's the Iran deal that Trump demolished, before lamenting how hard it is to make a deal with Iran?

WaPo: Trump aides struggle with how to spend $500B more on military. It can now be revealed... that I am an entire branch of the US Military...
