Laughter, snark and sarcasm. PacNW. Car guy. Infosec dork. Usually in that order. I don't always follow back so don't feel compelled to follow. All views expressed are my own.

I am BEGGING RFK Jr to promote AI, then have him ask it about vaccines and autism. This is a slam effing dunk, people.
Do vaccines cause autism
No, vaccines do not cause autism. Decades of extensive global research involving millions of children confirm that immunizations—including the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, thimerosal preservatives, and multiple simultaneous early shots—do not increase the risk of developing autism spectrum disorder, as outlined by Autism Speaks.

38? I'm easily old enough to be his dad and he'd probably pass as being the same age as me if you just put our pictures side by side. My avatar pic is me barely a year ago. Optimism and constant sarcasm for the win. Ok, and genetics.

Since the Thursday Night debacle, the Packers have added Guards Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton. Between the two of them they have 193 NFL starts and add badly needed veteran presences to an offensive line struggling with basic communication. The Packers aren't done adding yet as well.

1. Jay Feely, a former NFL kicker and a GOP candidate for Congress in Arizona, has made “protecting women’s sports” a centerpiece of his election campaign. So I reviewed years of Feely’s podcast appearances to see what he actually thinks about female athletes. 🧵

None of my employers in the last 20 years would give a shit. I can't imagine that I would care if I'm interviewing. "Are you good at IT / Infosec?" I'd care more if they showed up in PJ's than drinking iced coffee. Different regions and industries I suppose.

"Joint Warfighter Evaluation." In Hegseth-speak, that means it's going to be a dick-measuring competition. God, this guy gives off the most powerful micropenis vibes I have seen in a long, long time. The more he talks the more I think he got beat up a lot as a kid. Insecurity level 11.

#ArtHistory 🗃️ 🐡 🎨 #dragons Happy Sunday, Bluesky Discover how three master painters turned the legend of Saint George and the Dragon into a masterclass in human psychology—and a study in how cultural norms take root New from me: theshymuseumgoer.com/2026/09/16/saint-george-and-dragon-paintings/
Raphael's 1503 oil painting of Saint George in full armor riding a white horse. He raises a sword above his head to strike a winged, scaly dragon caught beneath the horse's hooves. In the background, a princess in a long red dress flees. • Three years later, Raphael will paint this subject again—after running into Leonardo da Vinci in Florence.

The Trump media ban is revelatory. Of course what Trump has done violates the constitution. But note that no official refused to implement it- violating their oaths of office to us. Tells you everything you need to know - and worry about in the administration’s response to the midterm elections.

It's chart day for me, apparently.
Line chart comparing annual revenues from 2004 to 2015 for Trump Entertainment Resorts and its top three Atlantic City competitors: Borgata, Harrah's, and Tropicana. The chart tracks a market-wide peak in 2006, a steep recessionary decline from 2007 to 2014, and a 2015 market shakeout where Trump Entertainment Resorts drops to zero following its operational exit, while the surviving three competitors experience a revenue rebound.

Kennedy Center revenue last 15 years.
Line chart tracking the Kennedy Center's annual revenue from 2011 to 2026. The chart illustrates a stable pre-pandemic baseline between $200M and $251M, a sharp COVID-19 plunge to $131.9M in 2021, and a record post-pandemic rebound to $306.9M in 2024. It concludes with a severe projected cliff down to $124.0M for fiscal year 2026—the lowest revenue point on the chart. Note: 2025 data is omitted due to delayed public audits. Sources: IRS Form 990 filings via ProPublica and internal documents from The Washington Post.
