I rarely take things being handed out outside a venue, but I made an exception for this one. #Valkyries

The crowd at my corner in Mountain View, CA, is only a couple of hundred or so, but we do have an axlotl and àl wizard. And it's still early.

The Valkyries are in the playoffs! (And we'll be out of the country. We scheduled the trip for after the season, because c'mon…they're an expansion team. Sigh.)

This year, especially, it seems that it's a good idea to actually take a look at what exactly it is we ostensibly celebrate on the Fourth of July. 1/

Am I the only one flashing on the Moscow embassy? If this is allowed, the next administration* is going to have to get rid of them. *Big assumption, I know.
In 1985, the building's columns and walls were found to be riddled with listening devices to such an extent that classified information had to be handled in the old embassy. Construction was halted and all Soviet workers were removed from construction work. Additionally, in retaliation, Soviet diplomats were not allowed to occupy their new chancery in Washington, D.C. The standoff was resolved in 1994 when American workers were allowed to partially dismantle and rebuild the chancery, replacing the top three floors with four completely new ones.

Our squirrel-proof bird feeder. Those green lines are a spring that is supposed to get pulled down by the weight of the squirrel, blocking the openings. It didn't take them long to figure it out.

Amazing. He's really going with the "They're not subject to U.S. jurisdiction" argument. Just like people with diplomatic immunity. Who can't be charged with a crime. Anybody with that status who ever got so much as a parking ticket should sue the government and force them to defend the opposite.
Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States: (1) when that person's mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth, or (2) when that person's mother's presence in the United States at the time of said person's birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth.

Saw someone say that people couldn't have voted for fascism because most of them don't even know what fascism is. That's not how it works. They want (much of) what fascism is whether they know it's called that or not. And they voted for it because that's what they want. They voted for fascism.

Reminding myself that the ones to be mad at are the ones who voted for the fascists because they want the fascism and the ones who couldn't bring themselves to vote against the fascists because it would mean voting for someone who was black or a woman (or Indian or married to a Jew).

Can somebody explain why pretty much whenever I reply with 📌 so that I can find them again¹, somebody will like that response? Does that get picked up for them by the feed? It makes me hesitant to delete the replies when I no longer need them. ¹ Pretty please can we have bookmarks?

And just like that, here's the display on the Caltrain car on the way to tonight's Bay FC game. Sorry for the blurry picture. I grabbed it as we were leaving: "He's dead, Jim! Either Chrome ran out of memory or the process terminated for some other reason. To continue reload or go to another page."

I guess I really shouldn't be one of those people who only reply and never post now that I'm officially over a whopping 50 followers. I'll try to think of something worth posting. Really I will.
