For those who wondered: We still mostly Japanese up in here. 疑問に思われた方に、僕らまだ日本系の殆どやろ。 #FatnessFirst

🤭 Who wants to guess what I’m about to do…? #DontStopLearning #AdaptOrDie

Welp there goes crypto after that 🍊 🤡 dumb ass speech. Guess the market is about to tank accordingly looking over at APAC markets now too. 📉😔 The only thing looking up was Artimis taking off for the moon today. Thank God that went right. 🚀 🌖

I’m convinced the reason I love reading is because I got to live a bus ride away from the St Louis Public Library Central Branch. The hum of the pneumatic tubes and pattering of books dropping down the chutes while reading and studying was so peaceful. www.youtube.com/watch

📑Read: Japan’s Team Mirai Is Rewriting What Tech in Politics Can Be A political party using tech to strengthen democracy? Team Mirai is doing exactly that. 🇯🇵 They built AI tools that help voters understand issues, challenge assumptions, and get involved. 📈 They won 11 seats after garnering […]

Also mind you, there’s a high degree of regionalism too– $2000 rent in LA or NYC is a lucky find; in Macon, GA this would be a luxury apartment. The great equalizer is proving to be utility rates now. In the cheaper areas, they aren’t as regulated and fluctuate wildly; in the metro areas, the […]

These could be “the good ol' days” we keep in our memories as we are descending into this nonsense…

"Bombs, Bargains, and a Strategy That Isn’t One" or “War, Oil, and Unintended Consequences”: starrwulfe.xyz I critique Trump’s aggressive foreign policy tactics, suggesting they jeopardize U.S. interests and fail to garner necessary international support, particularly in relation to China and Iran.

Q: “How does it feel to live in America after being in Japan for so long?” A:

Really wish there was a Season 7 coming… Re-watched: The Expanse Season 6 🍿

RIParadise Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. He totally made Mortal Kombat a rewatchable bit of camp from my teen years.

AI dubs are almost as comically bad as AI slop videos. We. Aren’t. There. Yet. And putting this stuff out there in its not-ready-for-primetime form just makes it clear that that AI driven tech bubble will burst that much sooner. It’s a solution in search of a problem with this sort of thing.

Reminder, boycott in effect for those who celebrate. Support your local community based businesses and establishments as much as possible if you must spend. Remember the goal is to make them know that without us 99%, the 1% go broke. www.weaintbuyingit.com #economicblackout #nokings

There’s new feature on the bird app that can tell where an account is based in and connects from, but VPNs and using the web app is a thing, so be careful out there. (I’m never putting X on my phone and always use VPN so my info will always look like this but it ain’t me you gotta wonder about 😉)

Cat-in-the-box every time. 🐈 ➡️ 📦 Belated #caturday

This is why we were fighting. This is what you can expect. This is why you must vote correctly and carefully.

I protested Saturday. I rested Sunday, I am voting on Monday Every election, no matter how small or whatever the issue, I always vote. #cantcomplainifyoudidntvote

From my little corner of Atlanta, we don’t like fascist criminal dictators. We are MLK, John Lewis, Hosea Williams, Joseph Lowery and Andrew Young. We remind you that this country started out of protest 249 years ago; marching in defiance is as patriotic […] [Original post on abc.starrwulfe.xyz]

…and I am finished for the night. Thank goodness I’m off work tomorrow! 🛌😴

Back at it again… I’ll probably need to abandon this configuration and start over from scratch if I can’t unravel what I did to break it this time… #NixOS #tinkering #breakandfix

Finally managed to figure out my firmware update daemon entries for my nixOS configuration flake so now this is happening.

Honestly, I expected them to lie their asses off, so if this is them bending the truth, Lord help us when the actual for real numbers surface….

Switching things up and moving from Ubuntu 25.05 to Arch(BTW) running Omarchy flavored Hyprland. (before I start adding my own blend of stuff from ML4W/JaKoolit/and my own Nix scripts to get stuff done…)

So the national guard is just 4 1/2 years late then…

…I’m still alive, just not motivated enough to post here without screaming into the ether. So I’ll spare the pixels/CPU cycles and concentrate on something more productive, because this too shall pass…eventually…

“Tariffs are paid for by the countries” my entire ass. 🤬 No, dumbass, _WE_ pay for it. This is effectively a tax. Y’all voted to raise taxes. Congrats, you played yourselves. Cannot wait for this jackass administration and their followers to crash out just like this economy.

I guarantee the state of Georgia: * ain’t about to spend $ texting us about overdue tickets when they can get more with a bench warrant and a GSP arrest! * has no such office as DMV. It’s MVD and they don’t deal with tickets. * wouldn’t be texting […] [Original post on abc.starrwulfe.xyz]

🇺🇸 Happy Juneteenth ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 America gets to have 2 independence days because we should always fix our mistakes, never forget the past, teach humility while being proud of our country and our roots, and embrace all 350 million of us as “We the People.” /my2¢ #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory

All elections matter. The small ones like the state public service commission primary. The people that regulate how much utilities can charge can tell the electric company to go kick rocks if inflation is too damn high for example. If you got the wrong people sitting on the board, your bill […]

Got a really good painting of my favorite Bleach character from my son this Father’s Day. ❄️ 🐉 (He is getting _good_!)

_Day 10 of Micro.blog photo challenge: “rails”_ I’ve been facinated with trains my entire life. Living in Japan not only gave me the chance to ride them twice a day, everyday but also to really turn my interest into a full-blown #railfanning hobby. I’m forever the #Tokyo #TrainNerd." 📷 #mbjune

Testing to see if I can use a micro.blog powered site to do webmentions the ‘old fashioned way’ (also with Sparkles)

_Day 8 of Micro.blog photo challenge: “travel”_ Big Hank, our RV is usually on the road this time of year for family weekend trips and excursions, but for now we’re just sticking close to home while we save some money for an upgraded electrics and boondock friendly goodies to come. 📷 #mbjune

Great. I made it 33 years, and LA is on fire again because yet again, disenfranchised people are pissed off. It must be about a 30 year cycle we keep finding ourselves in… 1965, 1992 and now 2025. 😒

This nose is always in my business. 🐶

…everytime this goes up, I know he had something to do with it… And you already know _who_ I’m talking about, which es equally bad.

It only took a few minutes of tornadic wind and rain to turn my childhood neighborhood landmark into ruins, taking a life along with it.

Project #homelab for today: Authentik vs Pocket ID I want to passkey all the things, but which one is best? Also can I use with Tailscale as well as some of the external things I run with my bastion jumpbox/Pangolin setup?

My very infrequent plea to micro.blog iOS app steward @manton to please add the ability to paste pictures and videos into the text entry box just like we can on the web. 🙇‍♂️

Who else had a rainy #caturday?

The whole news cycle is endless despotism.

House Republicans INSANE proposal for a 900% increase in the ICE budget. Raising it from $9 Billion to $90 Billion. With an impending recession and layoffs looming.
