Intrucing the kid to Battlestar Galactica as prep for the cylon wars.

I went and saw Haught & Freddy at 9:30 club last night. It is like Eddy Mercury, Rocky Horror, Chappell Roan, Florence and the Machine were all rolled into something completely new. Fun and irreverent. A celebration of being weird!

I don’t understand why we are not talking more about the need for judicial review/intervention before law enforcement uses camera data.

While everybody is focused on the cameras, I just want to remind you that we are all being watched every second we are online, every transaction we make, every time we use a credit card. The cameras watching our cars are just the tip of the iceberg, but they are not the most insidious threat.

With the staggering increases in gas prices that have happened and will happen, we have reached the point where it is imperative that employers implement work from home policies and communities focus on transit, walking and biking as necessities for national economic stability.

As oil prices sky rocket, and oil execs make huge margins, I wonder if any of the macho petroleum lovers are second guessing not having a faster and more sophisticated electric car.

You would think any tech where its own employees think there is a 10% chance it will destroy humanity in a decade or less would get a lot of regulatory scrutiny. What do we have? Crickets. The whole world should be talking about this. But hey, a handful of people could become tech gods so, fuck it.

What fun is the 25th amendment section four if we don’t give it a test drive? Does making up wholesale lies about being rescued by firemen at 9-11 do it? I mean, it actually sounds like he believes this which is even scarier than a lie.

Let me get this straight… instead of providing childcare subsidies for people who have to work, especially single people, we are going to pay people who choose to stay home and take care of their kids while their spouse works, but they have to be married for this to happen?

Isn’t it sad how some people think capitalism means making government and life hard so rich people can do better and are perfectly ok with that. So many people scared of what happens if the economy supports them.

It figures that Trump thinks his biggest trade weapon is changing somebody’s name. Public policy by third grader.

For the middle class to grow, some capital has to move from the very rich to regular folks. Now, do you wonder why the billionaires hate unions, minimum wage increases, health care access?

I had coffee with the chair of Agenda Alexandria yesterday. I’ve been critical of them for years for not, in my view, framing issues fairly, addressing issues that matter to different segments of our City’s diverse population, and for what I would call mean or harsh actions by some of their board.

With gerrymandering and Citizen’s United I’m pretty confident Congress can’t get the votes to pass a constitutional amendment to deal with Money in politics, corruption, and host of other issues. While it has never been done before, we need to look seriously at calling a constitutional convention.

The administration and Republican elected officials, at multiple levels, lied about the reflecting pool damage, indicted an innocent man, and lied in order to please the President. I mean, if you are going to lie, at least make it important.

People use data centers and online services to complain about data centers. People use electricity to complain about electricity transmission. People frustrated about housing costs still complain about housing development. And folks wonder why it is hard for politicians to get things done…

Rob Krupicka @robkrupicka.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

For my Alexandria peeps - Agenda Alexandria is a political organization focused on driving up housing costs and pushing families out of Alexandria. Their all white board of older adults does not reflect the diversity of the City in any way. They should not receive any City or community help.

Sales Taxes are regressive. A sales tax increase to cover school costs just shifts costs to lower income people. I don’t understand why Dems keep pushing this. It a solution made for increasing wealth inequality.

Trump has been complaining NATO countries are not investing enough in Defense. From what I just saw, their Defense is just fine.

“Moderate” Dems clutching pearls about their defense of capitalism and non hatred of the rich are doing a lot of work to prove to the majority of Americans that they could care less about the fact that housing, healthcare, food, education, and retirement feel impossible to most Americans.

Trump fucked up the reflecting pool and can’t negotiate for shit, and the world hates us and Americans can’t afford to live anymore, but what about this World Cup US team?

I’m walking around my place near the Blue Ridge taking photos of plants to identify. I’m amazed at the variety and also how many are considered invasive. My current favorite plant sound is Canada Wild Lettuce. It has some pretty cool medicinal qualities.

Anybody else disturbed that we are burning through US ammo and have not decisively won anything yet? We don’t have enough weapons to even win a war against a much smaller country?

Democrats will keep struggling if they keep having purity tests for candidates and take the position that people can’t evolve or change their views. This holier than though stuff is why so many voters can’t stand Dems.

MAGA proved tonight that they will put Trump before America. Their tolerance and embrace of corruption, pedophilia, and willingness to ignore the constitution seems irreparable, even with the wars, the price of gas. The suffering. America is choking on the smog of fascism.

Tonight Republican primary voters sided with pedos over the guy trying to expose pedos. We are literally lost.
