Northwest is currently experiencing a widespread wind storm. With west winds gusting to around 60 with isolated gusts to 75. Just had an AA 787 fly right over the house. I'm guessing as it moved into the area it picked up a tailwind looks like it may have gotten uncomfortable for the pax.

Hey why isn't the border wall being talked about any more? You'd think it would be a top priority still. Or is the optics of destroying peoples lives that already live here better than wall?

#GoogleHome #Gemini Has anyone setup their Google home to use Gemini as the assistant? I'm really curious what your experience is. I ignored the early adoption and now google is spamming me to switch. Gemini itself is advising to not switch LOL, at least not yet. Still working out quirky issues.

Working on a set of building blocks for our grandson. Seems like the grandpa thing to do.

Got an Amazon paper envelope in the mail. Just the envelope, no product inside. One edge was never sealed so the product just slipped out. Guessing it probably fell out before it even left the Amazon facility. Fortunately is was cheap enough they refunded without wanting it back.

Makawao forest, Makawao, Maui. I wonder if that wing is the remnants of a snack.

This is a great example that the US president is a lunatic. Listen carefully 🙈

In this picture there's an undocumented immigrant, a person on vacation, a student here on a visa and 2 US citizens. To say they don't all have equal protection under our constitution means none of them do, including the citizens. And that is where we're at right now.

I have found the image that summarizes the United States best right now.

So our Roomba with maps of the house and its location are now owned by a Chinese company. The same company that has manufactured the robot vacs is now the primary (private) owner of the company. Picea, will ultimately have the authority to revise the Privacy Policy after the acquisition. #roomba

'Trump can't even flip a coin?' Internet erupts with mockery over president's 'pansy' move www.rawstory.com/trump-footba...

We sadly know Zoe Weissman because of Parkland. In fact, our families are so close, that she has been there for my wife and I after Parkland and helped with our foundation Orange Ribbons For Jaime. America, are you ok with this?

@support.bsky.team Is there any way you can tag realistic AI generated content? Or add something like community notes that can include an AI content tag and then give users the ability to filter it out of their feeds?

Average vs Mean... Statistician: Mean is different than average because mean is the true numerical distribution of sum of values div by the number of values. Everyone else: So literally the exact same as average? Statistician: No you're not understanding mean is the true mathematical value.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Got a hankering for pizza today. Unfortunately you can't find a sausage tomato and green olive pizza anywhere. So you got to take matters into your own hands.

Early Christmas for a good boy. Replenished the tennis ball supply got some yummy treats and a new stoneware bowl.

Trump as president is like private equity buying nursing homes.

It doesn’t have to be like this… youtube.com/shorts/0mcdj...

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

The International Podracing Committee is giving Palpatine the first ever Galactic Peace Prize!

Dear American Media. This is not that hard to do.

Random pic of the day...

LMAO, robo vac just cleaned the office, bet you can't guess where my chair is

WTF UPS? Are you sending it via donkey? I always thought ground was the slowest. I paid $22 for shipping ffs!

Forest Park Portland, OR Thanksgiving day.

The amount of money McDonalds corporate returns to investors and what it spends on stock buybacks is more than ALL of McDonalds payroll from CEO down to the part time crew members flipping burgers. It isn't the wages that make a Quarter Pounder value meal $11

Omni Health Services, yet another US mental health provider, crumbles into Chapter 11 bankruptcy under private equity's debt orgy, stripping assets while patients suffer in the wreckage of profiteering. #MedicareForAll

Fermented Thai pepper hot sauce is finally done and bottled. Turned out pretty good!

Senator Murphy sounds the alarm as Trump calls for the deaths of Dems who served the country to be killed for reminding the military their loyalty is to the constitution not to him 🇺🇸

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response:

Carl Sagan when asked, "Are you a Socialist?"

What a load of shit... They drain the lake for flood control. That dam was originally built to protect the people downstream of Lake Pend Oreille. It's been like this forever they knew that when they bought their multi-million dollar properties. bonnercountydailybee.com/news/2025/no...

Holy shit we're getting fiber optic! We're a half mile from the nearest paved road. Our two neighbors are another quarter mile up the road. So they're going to run fiber optic for 3/4 of a mile for three customers. Thanks Biden!! #Fiberoptic #Idaho

Yeah whoever jacked up tariffs on coffee from Brazil earlier this year must be a real bonehead

Aurora's in North Idaho! Went outside didn't see anything went back out 15 minutes later... #Aurora #idaho

A poor country is one that can't take care of its people. A shithole country is one that chooses to not take care of its people.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

This isn’t very hard, folks.

Today's project... Getting rid of the log wall in the basement. The numbskull that built this place had three concrete walls for the basement and one log wall. And what's the thing that logs do that concrete doesn't? Shrink. Fun times 😬

Remember when you could ask Google home pretty much anything? Now it's just "Sorry I don't understand" Or "Hey Google set a reminder for tomorrow at 4PM" "OK your alarm is set for tomorrow at 4PM" Fucking useless.

Just got a mortgage and it was transferred. Couldn't get online access because it couldn't find our loan. Turns out they had our last name wrong. They chopped off the first part because there's a space. It's just ascii 32 just treat it as a fucking character like any other. It's not difficult.

I left X because it's too toxic. But this place honestly is too echoey. I need to engage on those posts I really don't agree with to make things more interesting. We need more a moderate vibe here.

As I would say in the 80s…BURN!!!😂😂😂

WTF HomeDepot? One bag is $96.97. But if you get a whole pallet of them it's only $104.08 per bag. Make that make sense.

Wishing you all a HAPPY HAMILLWEEN !!! 🎃 👻 😱 💀 🧙‍♀️ 🐈‍⬛ My costume this year is from one of my favorite Disney movies: Pinocchio. How do you like me as Geppetto?

Merry Christmas!
