Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert. I saw a cut elsewhere, and then looked at the whole piece. Talent trumps* propaganda every time. This part starts at about 20:35, but the whole interview is wonderful. *smackdown intended

I cannot be the only one who is alarmed, dismayed, or just cynical about the so-called Board of Peace. For f'n sakes, the Orwellian Ministries were intended to be a nightmarish warning, not a friggin' battle plan. I guess after one starts with a "Truth" social, the others just fall into place.

I wanted to be marching on pavement today, but I had to work. I still made a small contribution to the cause.

The government is shuttered. All the services that it provides to the citizens are being withheld. Come April 15, 2026, I shall deduct from my tax bill's income statement however many days' worth of idleness this comes to. Seems fair to me!

@billysimonsjr.bsky.social I [finally!] got around to your podcast with Resistor Vic today. You two had a great interaction, and I thoroughly enjoyed the banter. Your work is inspiring, so keep at it. I have also ordered a copy of your book! The world is better off with your guitar and harmonica.

The armed and unidentifiable kidnappers who are roaming our streets and sending citizens off to concentration camps have to be stopped. We missed a chance and I blame Obama. Yeah! Remember how JADE HELM was a bust?

Sitting in my favorite local restaurant, Welly's. The piped-in music features Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth." How appropriate that one is for the end of a day featuring so many No Kings resistance events. What's going on?

TURN IT BLUE! Look at this beautiful map just downloaded from www.nokings.org The nation is covered in blue dots of sanity, and not red open space claimed to represent a "mandate." Join in. Be there. Good trouble - be it.

¡ TACO LIBRE ! Because we CAN have something better than a cheesy, gas-emitting foldover in a thin shell.

The May Day version of the Hands Off movement happened today in Hudson, MA. What a wonderful late afternoon to be outside making noise in favor of DEMOCRACY.

@vicmeyers.bsky.social Hey, your presence on Find Out is sorely missed. Have you given up?

The gaslighting of the last 8 years, with its lies on top of contradictory lies, being spewed haphazardly over social media, and directed at what can only be called a fawning cult, has unmistakably resulted in Orwellian DoubleThink.

I suppose that it should not be as surprising a thought as I found it this morning. Is it just random sounds, or does "ICE" sound almost the same as "SS"? Your paperz, pleez.

Earth Hour takes place at 8:30 p.m. local time Saturday and encourages people to turn off their lights for an hour to raise awareness about the environmental issues affecting the planet. Artificial light can be a challenge for a subset of species: those that make their own glow.

For insects that glow, artificial light is killing the vibe

Recent research shows how artificial light can disrupt courtship among glow-worms and fireflies that rely on bioluminescence to find mates.

Keith Self is a spineless turd. At least McBride punched back by referring to him as "Madam Chair."

I seriously hope that I am wrong here. I have already been fielding the "nah, that won't happen" pushback. To all those who say that the '26 midterms will switch the power balance back to a less-destructive political agenda than the MAGA coup has engendered.

Leaving this for DOGE coders who haven't had sex for the first time. Despite what you're told expertise and knowledge matters a lot in legacy systems. Got an IBM zSeries in your home lab? Know your little-endian vs. big-endian? Can you move bits at the iron level? #doge youtu.be/RdMAEdGvtLA?...

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

I just received an email update from Dan Rather's steady@substack.com, called "Lessons in Courage." In it, he suggests that we resist the nonsense from the new Administration by selecting the businesses that align with our own interests, and not those of 47. I now know those who I need to avoid.
