2026 so far: - Nationally, a nightmare. - Personally, I landed a job that will allow me to work fully remote. And had a successful procedure to fix my ticker. Also, I’m a Fire Horse; Feb. 17 marks the start of the Year of the Fire Horse. I don’t believe in any kind of astrology, but…well. 🤔

Yesterday, there was a reprieve in the atmospheric river. Had to go for a ride. Today, my birthday, it’s been raining non-stop all day. No riding, but some good times hanging out with friends. Life isn’t all doom and gloom, y’know.

Capitulating Democrats, insane Republicans, stochastic terrorism masquerading as an executive branch, awful economy. And now I’ve lost my job. I hate this timeline so much.

A certain social media company (rhymes with “SpaceCrook”) disabled my account this morning. No idea why. I’m supposed to receive an email with the appeal process instructions, but that hasn’t happened yet. No reason given for any of this, of course. Sharing too many violin videos, perhaps?

“Violence is never the answer” is a ridiculous exaggeration. It’s not the ideal answer, and it doesn’t align with our nation’s purported (but rarely lived) values. So let’s not all get too overly self-righteous, mmmmmkay?

☠️ lies. Or he babbles nonsensically. He’s a convicted felon, a rapist, a misogynist, a racist. But Republicans continue to enable Project 2025 because…what? They think it means power and money for themselves? How stupid are they? Apparently, extraordinarily stupid. What a stupid time we live in.

Why does my left shoulder hurt so much after violin practice? Because I’m not as bendy as I could be, and it takes some arm bendiness to curve one’s fingers around to the strings. Man, if only I’d started learning this as a kid instead of as an old dude. 🫤😆

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

The new revelations about DOGE's activities at the labor agency come from a whistleblower in the IT department of the NLRB, who disclosed his concerns to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel in a detailed report that was then provided to NPR. Meanwhile, his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone "physically taping a threatening note" to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone, according to a cover letter attached to his disclosure filed by his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of the nonprofit Whistleblower Aid.

I finally found a useful way to repurpose Nancy Reagan’s idiotic 1980s anti-drug slogan. Any time Trump or anyone from his administration tells anyone to do anything:

New — I wrote about the armed break-in at the US Institute of Peace and the subsequent court hearing that showed Trump and DOGE's threats of violence may be influencing legal decisions.

The Trump administration's 'assault' on Peace

The violent attack on the US Institute of Peace is a heavy-handed metaphor for this administration's goals.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Dropkick Murphys’ lead singer, Ken Casey: Dropkick Murphys has always been about standing with your friends, your family, and the things you believe in. Trump is the exact opposite of everything we sing about. He’s turned on America’s friends and allies—he’s a rat and a coward.

I REALLY beg people to stop treating Trump's autopen claim as if it were true. You're spreading propaganda disseminated by Heritage Foundation either willfully or stupidly misunderstanding that ALL signatures in Federal Register, including Trump's, are graphics. The underlying premise is false.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

Everything Drump and Stench are doing — w/compliance & acquiescence from every single Republican — is setting us back 50 years+. Economically, educationally, scientifically, medically, politically, militarily, diplomatically, communally, etc. It’s disgusting & shameful & ridiculous & exhausting.

We need a reverse Manchurian candidate. Stick Trumputin in a VR simulation where he thinks he’s serving his Russian masters, while his lookalike is positioned to undo all the idiotic EOs, & actually pushes Congress (both cowardly Republicans & spineless Democrats) into serving the American people.

I suspect Drumpf and Leon Stench fancy themselves Sith Lords. Darth Vader and the Emperor and all that. In reality, they are far more akin to the clowns in “Spaceballs.” Question: when will someone come at them with a light saber?

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".
