Apple is evil. However, today was the last day where a windows device is my primary tool for work. 27 years supporting MS products. I hate Windows 11. Also, imho, the dell Latitude 5550 is less than optimum for anything other than casual use. I killed 2 in 3 months. Ole Precision 7550 is a tank

After another difficult week, the weekend is nearly here. Took this picture on the way home from work earlier this week. You can just make out the fog socking in the valley.

Looking for book recommendations Horror, spiritual, psychological

Happy Monday!

The Getty is worth the time, although I’m always sucker for a museum. Especially since they had a Van Gough. Went to the Van Gough museum in Amsterdam some years back and will never forget the experience.

Found this monument along the road near Santa Monica pier. Mr Jones picked a good spot.

Just wanted to thank everyone who has recently followed, whatever the reason.

The Vatican returned 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada, a historic restitution that is part of the Catholic Church's reckoning with its role in helping suppress Indigenous culture. n.pr/43T2xmD

A bit concerning when every mobile device wakes you up and this is on the screen. Stay safe out there!

Long but interesting read: apple.news/AnxDnk2TbR7u...

If you need a mental health break from the current political news, may I suggest binge watching The Great British Baking Show… Early seasons on Roku, later ones on Netflix. Seeing people being kind and supportive of one another is great medicine for the soul.

Might have to do some research, but this is interesting. www.indivisible2026.org

Happy Veterans Day!

The message at the end is the take away. Small things done locally can keep you sane. youtu.be/esTI8aF7AVg?...

I suspect videos like this (and the implication that the Senators were going to finally taste the impact of the shutdown) are why they caved: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ1pB4D...

Said it before, but more so tonight. The Democratic party is dead to me. Seriously, primary every single one of them with a progressive candidate.

The Democratic Party has not fought against fascism 1/100th as hard as the millions of people that voted them to represent them.

@schumer.senate.gov You let Americans down.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Was not and never have been a Bernie bro. He is he’s right here.

Chuck Schumer is about to lose his job (positive).

Chuck needs to retire immediately.

I like the points she made. youtube.com/watch?v=12JZ...

I wonder what he’s going to do after tonight. His advisers will recommend making voting impossible for the mid terms, if these margins hold. More troops on the ground? Congress to remain closed indefinitely?? Don’t be surprised when he lashes out. Strange days ahead.

This about sums up my feelings on Cheney’s passing.

I was braced for the headliner of the Redneck Comedy Tour to say some awful shit about homeless people. This was the opposite of that. This is beautiful, and it reaffirms my commitment to my life's mission ending homelessness.

Tell me they aren’t preparing for civil war. National strike seems more prudent then ever. If something isn’t done to change the course this country is on, Gideon will be here soon.

Sounds like time to quit watch CBS/60 minutes.

Last year, I was the raid rate driver.::: this year not so much.:: Happy Halloween!!

If the political structure allowed, the democrats would be abandoned. The independents watching the shit show that is American politics today are forever fucked!

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

Boycott where you can. youtube.com/watch?v=LJE5...

Interesting points youtu.be/UW3OmiQRLMI?...

IMHO the Democratic Party shouldn’t put forth a single candidate older than 64 for any office.

I am pleasantly surprised at the turnout in Thousand Oaks for #nokingsday #nokings #antifa

Good reason to not watch either.

Another year around the sun. I’ve appreciate every moment I’ve had with the kids, the fact my wife and I are getting along better than ever, after 37 years together. If it wasn’t for the state of the country, the abuse of power, targeting of non whites, fascism, I’d be really content right now.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

WTF: Do any of our NATO allies have bases on US soil? If not, then why this? www.foxnews.com/politics/heg...

Take the shot. Did both flu and c19 yesterday. Today isn’t going to be great, but it’s better than the alternatives.

They all act that way, and I’m shocked people are only starting to notice…
