I fucking love flying kites and this crushes my soul. Here’s a pic of two kites. One flown by me and one by my son.

Two kites flying in the air. The kites are very high.

You didn’t answer my question. This is okay with you?

GCSO further alleges that communications by Flores "attempted to manipulate the minor and expressed feelings of love and admiration more so than just a student-teacher relationship."

I just want everyone to see this absolutely insane reply to a comment I made about the Trump T1 phone. My comment was about the build quality and that phones worth a damn don’t have ribbon cables on top of the battery. They go under it. Them things fragile.

Oh, sure, let's beat up on the factory workers and their 12-hour shifts, just because you hate outsourceing cheap imports masqurading as Made in America. Those workers and their little calloused hands are someone's children. What's wrong with you?

“The bombings will continue until morale improves.” apple.news/AHk_PCcpSRUy...

Trump said in a Fox News interview he had spoken with top Iranian officials Wednesday and they had asked him to stop the bombing. He said it would stop shortly, but added the US would hit Iran again tomorrow if its leaders didn't sign an agreement, Fox News reported.

The attacks, which followed strikes on Tuesday in retaliation for the downing of a US Apache helicopter, underscored
Trump's growing impatience that the two sides have so far failed to reach an agree-ment.

The media is so afraid of Trump they are allowing to to just redefine discourse without even pushing back! There is no ceasefire! Everyone is shooting! Where are the journalists that will speak truth to power and other damn jobs? I am very glad we have independent media willing to stand up.

Summary

Iran says it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait
US military earlier struck Iranian targets near Hormuz
US official says no reports of harm to personnel or damage to bases
Tit-for-tat attacks come after US helicopter downed near strait
Escalation threatens uneasy ceasefire, longer-term peace plan

Solemn Memorial Day. Today I am thinking of my dear friend Marine Corps Major Matthew Gayler who died tragically of suicide in 2017 while on active duty. I miss him so much. Are you a veteran in need of help? Call the Veterans Crisis Line by dialing 988 and press 1.

Yeah, there are a lot of permission, but notice no camera, no microphone. The location in the foreground might be the worst, and I’m not going to install this just to see what location stuff it does.

The RNC has launched a text campaign filled with lies in an attempt to further interfere with the will of Missouri voters and seize power from the people. @missouriindependent.com @missouridemocrats.bsky.social

A text message from the Republican National Committee filled with lies. It features an image of a stop sign with “Missouri Alert” as the text. Another messages reads, “🚨 Black Friday Shoppers Beware 🚨

Out of state interests are setting up booths and tables in high traffic areas during Black Friday shopping trying to trick people in to signing petitions.

DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION! These groups are under investigation by the Attorney General for improper conduct.

Stop to End”

It’s all lies.

It’s electronics recycling day in my town and that means the true end to an era. I bought my first TiVo second hand in 2008 and was a subscriber for something like 12 years. Pretty sure this is every TiVo model we owned. There is another Mini floating around somewhere.

I’ve been a @dmbofficial.bsky.social fan for almost 30 years. They played their most loved album front to back live over the weekend at legendary venue The Gorge. And I get to listen to a completely legal bootleg. 14 year old me is freaking the fuck out.

The album cover of Dave Matthews Band’s Before These Crowded Streets. It features a time-lapse photograph of a bus driving down a New York street at night, with two interlocking red rings superimposed on top, as if someone set a glass with condensation on the photograph.

A psychedelic concert poster for Dave Matthews Band, dated August 30, 2025, at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. The artwork features a bearded, long-nosed man in a tall hat sitting cross-legged on a raft made of logs carried by four turtles wearing robotic leg braces. He smokes a long pipe, with whimsical smoke curling into the sky, and holds a staff. A yellow dog rests peacefully on his lap, while a blue rabbit sits beside him holding a glowing lantern. Behind him, a fishbowl backpack holds a wide-eyed goldfish. The background shows surreal purple and yellow skies over a desert landscape, framed by ornate purple and orange border art. At the bottom, the text reads “Dave Matthews Band, August 30, 2025, The Gorge Amphitheatre, George, WA.”
