This #caturday is very orange. Lila loves this spot in particular.

An orange female cat with white paws sleeps on her owner’s lap with front paws outstretched. A large cabinet and television are blurred in the background.

Spring has sprung indeed. The pollening is upon us. Coming soon: sticky hot. Yay!

A bee lands on a pink azalea flower. Many more pink flowers are visible behind on a mature bush.

I paid my taxes, but all I got was this lousy foreign war of choice.

We’re framing #SendBarron wrong. We NEED the youngest and most capable son of the best president ever on the ground to ensure success. It’s just common sense.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

I’m gonna miss TikTok. Account deleted. The beatings continue, but morale has not yet improved.

Hulu cancelled. I don’t do business with fascists.

I believe that America’s best days are still ahead, but only if we fix what’s broken now. Right wing Republicans are ready to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat us, but I know that together we can win. Become a founder donor of our historic campaign today.

I’m pretty sure they call it Mountain Zevia because you can only find it in the mountains of NC.

A six-pack box of Mountain Zevia, a stevia-sweetened soda.

Sad news. Got to meet Jesse a few times. My dad was in The Youngbloods early on, but he dipped before they went anywhere.

Early photo of The Youngbloods, year unknown but likely 1965ish. Four men stand side by side; Banana, Jerry Corbitt, Jim Mairs, Jesse Colin Young. They're holding a fifth man, Joe Bauer, horizontally like a caught fish. The background includes a sign reading "Fish Forwarding Co."

Solid Saturday. Made it to RockBox in the morning. Built this Lego bamboo in the afternoon.

The WH Press Secretary is slandering the previous administration and lying about the current state of affairs in her first briefing. They’re inviting in TikTok influencers and conspiracy theorists media like Breitbart. They’re flooding the zone with misinformation and gaslighting America. Share here

Great thread, but I think this is the headline. Few things actually follow a linear scale…

AT&T Fiber is in! Now I've got it running alongside Spectrum, it's laughable how much better it is. 27ms Cloudflare ping on Spectrum; 4ms on AT&T. Plus double the speed. 😎

Spent the morning fortifying my PiHole lists. It probably won't accomplish much, but I still feel good about blocking more trackers, more ads, and all Meta and X domains. 🫠

Thankful for BlueSky today. Pretty sure they weren’t lobbying for anything.

I've been hesitant to move away from Google Workspace for my personal email after over a decade. But I finally did it! Proton is pretty slick.
