I almost want a war. At what point does the the civilized world kick America squarely in the balls?

I took the slow-ass backroad way home for a change. I wish I could still listen to music. It would have been a very 70's drive.

ICE is just SA brown shirts in body Armour and sneakers. You do a point for point structural and behavioral comparison.

Leaving Toronto is always painful b/c the city is on the north shore of Lake Ontario, and highway planning was clearly never done. But, there is a sneaky way out. Along the lakeshore is where all the 5+ million dollar mansions are. It is slower than the highway, but it's not stop and go.

Well, my trans license is renewed for the year. It was a mixed bag. My LDL is up at 2.3, when I had it down to 1.4 two years ago (there was some emotional eating last year :^/. But, my transphobe sniping cert got upgraded! 7.62x51 is so passé.

@papillon19.bsky.social out of curiosity, from your time in the LE, did you have much helicopter support, or was it all ground ops? I secretly have a thing for French aviation.

I LOVE driving in the city. On the bike, it was fun b/c you could fit in tiny spaces, but in the truck, you've got inches to spare. I love very technical driving. I'm seriously considering amateur motorsports down the road.

I got to town early, so I decided to stop by my family doctor's office to pay their yearly flat fee. $150!?!1!. Not ten years ago, such things didn't exist. It felt so American giving money to a doctor.

I'm off to Toronto for my yearly endo appointment. Wish me luck on keeping my trans license!

I'm channelling the NRA here: Guns don't kill people. ICE agents with guns kill people.

After watching that recent ICE murder I got back to thinking about America and its guns. For the longest time I was pushing this #AllGunsGone concept and getting tonnes of left-wing gun-owner pushback. "Guns are safe," they say... I mean, ya, you'll never get rid of your guns, but are they safe?

I work for ICE. Going home after a hard day of pushing over old ladies in wheelchairs. Driving my F350 Super Duty, monthly payment of $1550. Wearing mirrored oakleys, black gaiter, armored vest, desert camo, and beige Adidas superstars. Gonna kick my dog + scream at my wife. I am the hero we need.

no, absolutely not, you all should've been nicer to my trans homies

This is very true, but let me throw in a ringer. The freedom fighter who wins renown comes from the humble beggings of being pushed too far. Our Che Guevera is out there.

An open question to 4-wheel vehicle enthusiasts: I've been putting 87 octane in my dad's truck b/c that's what he did. I come from the KLR dirt bike world where anything over 87 and the engine runs hot. Would there be any reason to put higher octane in a Tacoma V6? 4 wheels are new and weird 🙃

And, even if you've had rough patches, transition is always a net positive if you know you are trans. I even detrans'd for 8 (miserable) years, and came back stronger than ever.

I've been moaning about the automatic transmission in the Tacoma I inherited from my dad. I'm a manual snob, and I always jump at reasons to complain about autos. But, this morning I remembered an event from 1986. I was in Sarasota visiting my mother, and I made some friends at the beach. One guy /1

In 1932 Germany, anti-fascism was popular. In 1933 there was a lot of equivocating. In 1934 the state was the only voice. Can we replace country and years?

The night of disputed broken glass.

Purity princess bitch still here. I will not vote for, endorse, campaign for, or donate to any candidate or party that does not explicitly endorse FULL AND EQUAL RIGHTS to trans people in all areas of society. I'm not a full citizen, your tent isn't big enough. Period.

I did some digging and found it interesting that Laurene Powell Jobs was Steve Jobs' wife. I love the smell of burning centrist flesh in the morning. It smells like... victory.

"It's all about the Benjamins"... Non-profit is insane, and all us non-profiteers are unhinged. Be careful where you step digitally, DIEDs are everywhere 😈

I prefer the softer term transgender over the hard X of transsexual, but we were transsexuals long, long before we softened our stance. If we must harden it again, then, physical sex IS mutable, as it's always been. I dissagree with 1984; language doesn't control thought, thought controls meaning.

I wish I had a camera in my eye because Tigger has such an expressive face, and I see so many beautiful images of him that would be impossible with a camera (good luck with a camera...).

My desk drawer contents have grown beyond my desk capacity. I've never figured out how to sort this... maybe clear-front drawers? :^(

I bought a large format film camera body on EBay years ago thinking I'd try my hand at hand-laid silver nitrate plates... It still sounds like a cool idea, but the body is still in the closet :^| But, after watching this I got thinking about using a scanner sensor: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSvj...

I bought a sewing machine a while ago to learn how to sew b/c to get tops with long enough arms the body is usually way too big (am I right?!?). My cousin is a natural born seamstress. She makes custom wedding dresses from scratch! So, she's going to teach me how to sew. My first project is a /1

Open question: Would America win a war with Denmark and all its allies? I left a comment on a yt vid the other day, but it's good here as well. /1

Or if you're there for lurking purposes, so have little footprint, you can upload tonnes of AI poisoning audio and photo content. You post tonnes about how mechahitler is good, actually. And, you can big up Elmo in all his superhuman abilities, like piss drinking. Digital chicks with digital brick.

I tore apart a floor polisher from the 40's to get this switch. The sound and feel are design brain candy. I think I might have yet another hobby: collecting antique switches. Bring back phenolic, am i right?!?

QTing to amplify and respond. De-dollarization is already under way. In fact, de-dollarization was in the planning phase with the creation of BRICS and the acceleration of the Shanghai Gold Exchange building its permanent reserve. What kicked de-dollarization into over drive was kicking Russia /1

I training Tigger to an eating schedule. He used to be able to go outside and burn off energy, but he's a terror in an apartment. I've got two alarms on my phone for his eating times, and we're almost there for 6pm dinner, but we we're still working on his 8am breakfast. He's incorrigible... mostly.

The United States of America is not, and will not, ever be the master of the Americas. The United States of America will have war if it wants it.

I know Peter Zeihan has some WILDLY bad takes on a lot of subjects, but he is a broken watch. He nailed this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMXE...

I'm getting sick and tired of defense analysts saying the F-35 has no kill switch; it has several. 1. Before every tactical mission the mission management system is updated with a database supplied in real-time from the US government. This database IS the stratigic factor in the aircraft /1

Christmas came a little late, but destructocat is at work. Can you spot him?

Unless good Americans remove the russian gangster stooge from the the WH the world may be at war with America. Wakie-wakie.

I am sooo not travelling to the states anytime soon, lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_F4...

I do my best work first thing bc my mind hits the ground running. Tigger wants to play first thing in the morning bc he's a cat looking to hunt and be social. These two do not mix well... I've got a bunch of toys coming today, so hopefully I can distract him from bugging me every 10 seconds.

Another thing I'd like to get more into this year is SCPs. I like to read them randomly in spare time, but I'd like to get more into the world. Maybe some day I could even contribute. It's my kinda syfy

I just learned that Larry Ellison is a pathological liar. Are all in the highest echelon of US society pathological liars? If yes, I guess they've formed a cabal of mutual support in their pathologies.

New AI buzz word just dropped: micro-learning. It kinda speaks for itself.

When Trumpf is finally out of office for good can we formally retire the word 'unhinged'?

In other news, an estimated $600 Billion in American loan extentions have been kicked into '26. The American philosophy that debt is ok may, just may, come into question soon. Happy New Year! 🎉

We need to make this the thing!
