Tempted to go do a little midnight gardening, but the neighbors have installed motion sensor lights/alarms/cameras due to ICE and I don't want to wake the whole street

Apparently, my parents took the nieces to the park on Thursday and my dad and Kettle got chased by a goose. The goose bit my dad's shoe. And people don't believe me when I explain that geese are Of the Devil

Again and again, Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard while we negotiate on ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans have blocked us every time.

I am never going to get to take my lunch break and it is entirely the war's fault.

Into the Permadeath Zone tonight at 20:00 Central (01:00 zulu). Hotel's misadventures continue:

Leather jacket study turned pretty boy 😌 My fave

Watching the Weekly Show Podcast and perusing Dr. Sarah Shoker's bookcase as she talks - The Cruel Prince on the left to Fiasco on the right. (I really need to read Fiasco instead of just using it as a paperweight.)

"The history of Christian use of the Old Testament is a history of attempts of varying dexterity to get the text to say things that it doesn’t"

Imagine being the Lloyd’s underwriter who has to explain maritime insurance to a Trump appointee

What does Dacia Black-Eye think of Jyggalag? Well, she's not a total chaos gremlin like Hotel (current Into the Permadeath Zone PC), but destabilizing power structures is kind of her modus operandi (see: unintentionally becoming the Nerevarine while trying to jam others into the role). #morrowind

#fibromyalgia is makes me feel like I was put through a rock tumbler. Of course, Luna has decided that it is time to be affectionate.

(I had an airport in Indiana mixed up with one in Armenia and kept thinking "Oompa-Loompa" when I meant "Opa-Locka". Fibro fog is no joke.)

Called out sick tonight because when I woke up at 15:50, it was 35F and snowing and I could barely move or think. After spending several minutes clinging to the bathroom sink, staring blankly into space, trying to remember where last night's charter originated, I realized work was a no-go

Yes, Aljazeera is a valid news source. It has its own biases, but it's good to see what the rest of the world thinks of America. Especially when we've started a multi-country geopolitical disaster of a war. And BBC is behind a pay wall.

"Economists pointed to the crises of 1973, 1978 and 2008 as evidence that every significant spike in oil prices has been followed, in some form, by a global recession." www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

I completely forgot about jamming and spoofing 🤦🏻‍♀️ (Ignore the bit about pilots using paper maps - it's not what they make it sound like) www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/s...

Of course, the heavens have opened up and it's deluging with thunder rattling the windows.

And my mother thought the clip of him speaking that was shown on the news tonight made him sound like a 12 year old boy writing an essay on a topic he didn't understand

When I first watched Firefly I thought it was about oppressive regimes being resisted, not the Confederacy, because I am sometimes overly optimistic if my interpretations. The fact that it was actually about that in any way just gives me the ick.

For everyone going "Iran has a navy???", I recommend watching the below from Warship Designs. The Ghadir-class subs make me think of cartoon piranhas and have the potential to be just as deadly. youtu.be/72ZHxsAkB1k?...

Unfortunately, both the CRAF and ICE Air are controlled by the federal branch of the government 😕

When you are so worked up that you compose a letter to your senator with footnotes and citations and plan to deliver it to the office today. My suggestions: 1. Activate the Civil Reserve Air Fleet to evacuate US citizens from the Middle East 2. Re-task ICE Air to evacuate US citizens 3. Evacuate the

(This rant brought to you by the woman who once got bored at work and read an entire FAA ruling re: the requirement that tall, rigid cargo be tied down solidly enough to withstand 9Gs. It had a baked in exemption for the withdrawal from Afghanistan.)

"We can't get you out." Do you assholes not realize you have a CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET? Some of whom, I'm sure, have planes trapped on the ground in Dubai or Israel or Doha. "We'll babysit your flight out as along as you take off full of evacuees" sounds like a good deal to me.

“Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics.” - Gen. Robert H. Barrow, USMC As someone who has worked in logistics since her mid-20s, the sheer incompetence of this war in the Middle East has me fuming.
