I saw it too:

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

With the recent events in Minneapolis, we would like to encourage anyone who has the disposable income, to please consider donating to these organisations who are giving free legal aid to Minnesotans. www.aclu-mn.org/ways-give/ nlgmn.org monarcamn.org

Its currently -15 degrees outside with a windchill of -26. WTF

Saran wrap, then the water. Don't ask how I know, lol.

What they think they are doing is striking fear into everyone. Instead, this makes me extremely angry and want to fight harder even more.

Watch this. Share this.

I'm less worried about the near future. I believe the blowback against the GOP will be severe (quietly hoping both chambers flip but we'll see). I am far more worried about the long term of how much time it will take to repair everything that is being broken. And how far behind we will be.

Okay. New Tandem OLED has arrived. Its an updated version to my current OLED ( a 3rd generation WOLED) vs LGs new 4th generation Tandem RGB WOLED. Dual OLEDs are fantastic. But now I need a better dual monitor arm, lol as my current one barely works, lol.

Impulse Christmas purchase. Found a open box (excellent condition) 4th generation OLED monitor for $550. Will be here by the weekend.

Trump set new Kentucky records w/his 64.4%, 2024 win. The nat'l poverty rate is 10.6%. In Kentucky, it's 16.6%. Jim Beam employed some 1500 Kentuckians - up til now, anyway. Congratulations, MAGA, you've scored another big middle finger from your lord and master.

These people have had nearly 10 years to have a decent idea of what kind of person he is. In my eyes, anyone I know who still stands with him, is just as disgusting and vile as he is. And I tell them that.

Yet again I find myself ripping apart my extensive mod list for Skyrim to change something. At this point I am unsure at what I have spent more time doing. Playing the game or modding the game? lol Currently have 1334 plugins in my load order. That does not include all the non plugin files as well.

Well, been a busy couple days working on the old home network and smart home setup. But, its done. Now, I don't consider myself a total beginner with a homelab, nut I am far from an expert. Finished building a seperate backup nas using a mini pc and a das (direct attached storage) with Proxmox.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

That a Reagan judge would give up his lifetime appointment willingly because he feels a future GOP president has rendered that appointment meaningless in the midst of an authoritarian speedrun is quite remarkable:

Police departments paid out $2.3 billion in settlements in one year. We're not overspending feeding people. We're overspending beating people.

HA, FU Google. I have forced the latest version of Chrome to use the full developer version of Ublock Origin.

They 👏 are 👏 breaking 👏 the 👏 law. Two judges have just ordered that the Trump Administration must release funds for SNAP benefits. The GOP and Admin trying to use hungry kids as political leverage is beyond morally reprehensible. And it’s against the law.

WHAT THE FUCK

So, I caught a mouse in my kitchen. Well, it caught itself by falling into my sink and getting trapped. But it decided to run into the garbage disposal unit. I am now contemplating my next move.

Man, don't tease me like that.

Okay, the network nerd in me is totally geeking out that I am literally moving/copying neat 1TB of data over my network in just over an hour. And thats only at 2.5gbps lan speeds. Thats insane. I can't imagine what 10gb network speeds would look like.

This is a very bad ruling for all of us who value the First Amendment.

WTF, Kushner and the Saudi's are buying EA Games and taking it private. Just.... How, why, the fuck.

I find it incredulous that people still think that to disagree with current events is just "political differences". No, no its not. These same people are just as baffled at how I will burn whatever bridge there was between us just because in their own words "I don't agree with you".

Dutch late night TV has its take

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Don't do this. Don't ever do this. You are literally GIVING personal medical history to an LLM server, asking a LLM for medical advise is just as dumb.

This is the biggest story in America right now. Coffee up 20.9% year-over-year Steaks up 16.6% Apples up 9.6% Bananas, 6.6%. www.axios.com/2025/09/11/t...

Its never justifiable. However, Kirk spent years spreading hate and right wing radicalization. Its an incredible FAFO moment that the man who spread systematic hate and coldly washed off gun violence is murdered by a gun.

Well, it's been a very long hiatus going to the Ren Faire, interested to see what's changed/stayed the same since I was last here.

Hey Firefox users.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are steps you can take to evade it.

Update: DHL has clarified and updated its shipping to the U.S TLDR, postal shipping is temporarily stopped until they can get better communication from the U.S Gov ( good luck). DHL Express is still shipping. group.dhl.com/en/media-rel...

Viewed in the window of a local business. Make it very clear to these people what your rights are.

As of right now there is literally no verifiable information to corroborate this. Its a random image of a supposed post about someone's kickstarter. This is how disinformation is spread.

I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history" It is propaganda, pure and simple.

Okay, worst panic Ive been in, in a long while. Broke my entire ZFS Pool containing all my data from like the last decade of important stuff. Nearly lost everything. Almost 2 hours trying to figure out how to recover the pool.

I bought another pc.... I may have a slight problem, lol. Its a mini PC for a low power homelab.

Its midnight, and still 82 degrees out... wtf

The forecast for the next 2 weeks doesn't have temps below 85, with temps hits 93 over this weekend. I cannot remember a summer that has been this hot, sustained for this long. I don't think we saw any temps in July that wasn't 80 plus while routinely hitting the mid and upper 90s.

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this. Definition of terms: “these people” = Latino migrants “Inner city people” = Black people “We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping
