Full service geek: I'm an IT professional into games, sci-fi (weirdly never got into anime), and TTRPGs. I enjoy cooking (and eating), all things Disney related, and sit zazen to help me remember that none of it is really important. ...it's a good life.

My take on why many (white) progressives say that Israel is making the US go to war is that they would very much prefer that to be the case than to have to examine their own culpability and participation in America's white supremacist militaristic reality. So much easier if it's outsiders.

Navigating presumptions of dangerousness and guilt is exhausting. Bryan Stevenson talks to Katie Couric (@katiecouric.bsky.social) about the commitment to truth-telling in the face of racial bias and bigotry: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kT_...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The first fun print for myself from the new 3d printer. Needs sanding, paint, and a pass with rub'n buff but I'm quite happy.

Is Trump the president who will truly set a course for Mars?

Seeing the news about Young Jedi Adventures, I feel like I need to change my proxy votes for Disney. Clearly they have ONLY adults in the room if their takeaway from the success of Skeleton Crew was; MORE KIDS!

So, the Elongated Muskrat's team is using AI to parse through treasury records looking for places to make cuts... absent any input of what things cost or what has value. Sit with that a minute and realize that you are next. AI is being weaponized against workers.

Watching someone restore a pinball machine, I'm struck that most of the wiring diagrams are stapled inside the machine, near the gizmo they describe. I deeply enjoy someone wanting to see a complex machine they made keep running, no matter where it ended up.

I wish whoever is running all these Dem's social media would be sensitive to the fact that we are all being actively traumatized multiple times a day. Tell us what you're doing to combat the coup or don't post anything at all and just work.

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.
