Every time I hear Trump drumming on in one of his new Hatch Act violating "Paid by U.S. Government" political ads, I can't help but recall the Star Trek TOS episode Patterns of Force, where cultural observer John Gill was drugged & used to message to the people of Ekos in a Nazi-like style.
Kirk attempts to rouse Federation cultural observer John Gill on the Planet Ekos amidst its Nazi-themed period, but he's been heavily drugged the political factions of the time that have been contaminated by exposure to the worst of human history.

It would seem that Apple Health is the better option; mostly because Google can't decide on just one connected health platform.

Finally got a pouch of Wyman's frozen blueberries in the last Walmart+ order. They'd been out of stock recently at the retailer. I'm glad I opted to not go with the Great Value organic variety as they've been recalled due to possible E.coli contamination.
FDA recall of great value frozen triple berry blend and frozen organic blueberries. Trader Joe's frozen mixed berry blend was also recalled.

First time using the smaller 27G insulin syringe for my weekly TRT injection. The smaller and thinner needle certainly required more time and patience to fill the syringe with the oil-based liquid.

This shit is getting old. I would love it if Apple TV OS made it easier to figure out WHY these events keep happening and HOW to stop them. It's possible this is related to my iPhone activation, but nothing on my network uses 192.168.0.109. 🙄😡

☠️ My lawn service is expected tomorrow. There should be 1 or 2 mowings before the season ends. I'm hoping to put my Halloween decorations out since it's been a minute. I didn't feel up to it for the last 2 years due to back/leg pain. I'm hoping to push through this year. It's my favorite holiday! 🎃

The basement has some water in it. That's to be expected with what will be 3 days of rain. Glad I was proactive and moved my new yoga mat where that little puddle is now.
Moderate amount of rain water in the basement. This is near where I believe there to be a crack in the foundation; possibly from an earthquake about 6 years ago.Smaller puddle. I guess water is seeping up from the dirt subfloor.

Maybe it's time to turn up the pressure on #ParamountPlus for a new Enterprise (NCC-1701-G) series (e.g., #StarTrekLegacy). This beautiful image by @admiralbuck.bsky.social has reignited my desire for a new ST TV series.

Seeing a trending feed about a #KKKAdAtConverse. OMG, that is unbelievably disgusting. WTF? How does a company in 2026 sanction this sort of horrifying symbolism? Have we become that desensitized about what is right and wrong? Seems like things were wrong at #Converse way before this ad rolled. 😬🤬

Geewhiz! these headlights are expensive. It's hard to fathom $7,000 to replace 2 Matrix LED headlight assemblies on my type of car. I don't need headlights, but this price tag gives me shivers. The worst part is the full light features are disabled by the factory due to USDOT rules for 2024 models.

Finally got the north-facing front yard camera securely mounted and working. I found one of the original mounting brackets while cleaning, so hopefully this one is now very securely. The 3D-printed mounting brackets are inferior to the original parts.

How is this not bribery? It's also something that needs congressional approval. America generally disapproves of Trump's performance so it's a bit late to try to bait voters with a "trump dividend" that's unlikely to materialize or do much against the economic shock of his policies!

Well, THAT'S one way to get the #CropPreserver lotion from #Manscaped to dispense. 👀🙄😭 Honestly, of all their products, this one is the hardest to dispense consistently due to lotion that hardens inside the cap - even when closed. The body wash bottle pump isn't great either.

I'm ready to 🤮. Where is all this gunk coming from, and am I drinking it? I'm hoping it's just from my use of raspberry teabags and lime juice in my water bottle. I've ordered a cleaning kit and cleaning tablets for my reusable bottle.

Still having trouble in macOS Tahoe loading one particular NAS share at startup. In the Login Items section, one shared folder persistently loses its KIND identity defaulting to "Unknown". This is exact same setup on my iMac running macOS Ventura 13.7.8 without issue. I have SMB set so I'm stumped.

Whew! I love using interest-free promotional plans, but it's mandatory to know when those plans expire; otherwise you risk paying some pretty hefty interest charges. I just paid off a plan 2 days before the plan expired. The next autopay wouldn't have drawn until 8/27; 16 days too late.
