I felt the need to celebrate achieving my second raise today. So I bought myself a Battlestar Galactica lunchbox.

Felt forced to get a windows 11 machine to use Canon pc controller software for complex shoots. Won’t activate. Windows is absolute dogshit. @microsoft.com, this OS sucks alien ass, especially after operating happily in Linux. @Canon, give me Linux interoperability. Windows 11 is insufferable
Photo of Windows 11 OOBE shitting the bed, and getting wedged simply trying to register the machine *without ever asking to connect to a network*

Windows 11 is hot garbage.Photo of windows 11 failing to activate with an “OOBE…” code for shitty UX.

Dump Microsoft. Canon: make Linux drivers. FFS, don’t make this the norm

Sandwich of the day: Turkey pastrami, provolone, Swiss, and cucumbers. Goldfishies as a side. In 15 hours, this ought to be good(?). Yeah?

A little hot. I bet if I backed off a stop and used a fill light, it'd be prefect. Still, I love the layers. Blooming, bloomed, done.
Close up shot of a late Washington Cherry bloom cluster. Highlights slightly blown out. Disappointed at that. Showing a new blossom emerging amongst older, complete blossoms with so many more in the blurred background.

If, while you're petitioning for your constitutionally-granted redress of grievances, you're met with this, how could you *not* be considering arming yourself?

My buddy Bennet wandered up and told me that she had made me a valentine gift. I’m not a jewelry guy, but… I fucking love it. Makes me smile every time I look at it.

Heh. Pocket inventory. Can’t find my leatherman. Desperately need my leatherman. The weight may pull my pants straight off, but… UTILITY! Want a mandarin orange slice?
Cough drops, lip balm, flashlight, 6 snack bars, a flashlight, car keys, pocket knife, wallet, and a container of mandarin oranges. 

This is the payload of my kneepad-enhanced cargo pants to do retail battle.

Mandarin oranges are delicious.

Test? 12 bucks. UrgentCare telemedicine session on Saturday: $250. Paid with CC numbers and CVV chatted in the clear. Paxlovid? $1,500. 0.o Can't afford Paxlovid. Work says "be here." I didn't want to go infect people. I had to. (I masked, hand washed, and stayed well clear as best I could.)

@cola.baby thanks for the new shirts. I *love* walking downtown and seeing the melted eyes recognize reality when they read my “Failed State” shirt. I also get nods. You help us recognize ourselves. I cannot wait to wander about with my Punisher shirt. Thank you for keeping the voice strong.

You know that scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? At the end when Indy finds the hidden catwalk using some sand? The first step is a big, scary one, but it needs to be taken. Somehow, we need to find the hidden catwalk and the sand for the Democratic leadership. Take the damned step.
Indiana Jones sacking up, committing, and taking the step that saves him and everyone around him.

Sure, it's scary to step out on what you think is thin air, but it's not thin air. Democrats have a solid footing for impeachment. They need to start grooming queasy republicans, and build a coalition willing to reset the works.
