Free at last. Working early weekends to get deployments done are not optimal, but I'm glad it's behind me now. ...Until the next one.

"An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a 'perp walk' of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month..."

Running out of ways to communicate they are violating the consntitution

Putting pumpkin puree in a cider we just racked after two weeks fermenting during into a fairly alcoholic pumpkin shake. A little filtering and extra racking will be in its future before the bottling.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

our industry-first quantum TOS exists as a probability cloud of terms that vary instant to instant. this is the future!

Night stairs 6 music: REAPZ5 - Time ticked slowly today

My new talking point about GenAI being kind of useless shit thrust upon us all is pulling up the same industry leaders and news outlets breathlessly telling us all how we'd be living high on the hog in the metaverse...and NFTs...and of course to drown it in cash or be LEFT BEHIND BY THE FUTURE.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

A public holiday for half our co-workers, the other half here and I am technically the only one of my team to support them all. Time to roll out one of my favorite fusion of music and 16 bit visuals to survive the shift.

All I want for Christmas is this bubble to burst, this bubble to burst oh this bubble to burst. Seriously though the longer this goes on the worse it's going to be.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN MY BUTT www.amazon.com/Federal-Gove...

Man, one of my favorite songs from the golden age of sampled Industrial music. Second only to Double Cross for me.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

Just the right thing to slide into the season.

If you listen to @npr.org today, our hosts will tell you: it's the first day in more than fifty years that public media is operating without federal funding. We're still here, going strong and keeping you informed. Proud to be a part of this team.

First poster for Puppet Combo's wage-horror slasher 'Night Shift' 🔪 • Adaptation of their video game • Shot on 16mm • Follows a serial killer targeting late night gas station clerks Releasing in theaters this October

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Just started my first batch of homemade yogurt. I have a second flock of chickens laying some eggs, I'm years into brewing cider, mead, and beer, and next year I'm looking too add a hive or two. The more I age the more I slowly turn my yard into a farm.

Tis the season.

GOOSEBUMPS book publisher Scholastic has launched their own streaming app titled Scholastic TV, and the first three seasons of the original 1990s “Goosebumps” television series are now streaming for FREE at launch:

Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.

Man this hits different in 2025.

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

Did he just declare war on four American cities?

Man with all the real and present horror it sure is hard to write the fictional fun horror. I think it's time to just sit in a dark room and listen to some Lovecraft inspired Cryo Chamber and get in the right mindset.

I hope everyone isn't using amazon for books anymore and sets up a local bookstore they want to help and uses bookshop.org instead. Please tell me we're all doing this.

Ah man we’re screwed

Trump's energy policies are laughable. This ad proves it. [from: @canarymedia.com]

Hell yes, Ghost is coming to Salt Lake again: ghost-official.com#tour

The best part of writing up Cthulhu Dark scenarios is finding the wild soundtrack to go along with some of them. Still my favorite of all time is the grocery store vaporwave track that was the perfect background for vaguely discomforting capitalistic revitalization, though not for the locals.

It's that time of year again. Happy Michaelmas to all who celebrate. youtu.be/WDXLxpQdIUQ

Holy shit, yes please!

Americans can’t afford hamburger meat.

The Energy Department adds “climate change,” “green” and “decarbonization” to its restricted list.

Senator: (posting on bluesky) The president told his supporters to prepare for the “Night Of One Thousand Screams.” Might I suggest he instead hold the Night Of One Thousand Bipartisan Discussions Of Job Creation Opportunities

It's truly amazing how completely and totally feckless Democratic leadership is at a time when the GOP is malicious, incompetent and incredibly dangerous. There is a moment here that needs meeting and no one in Dem leadership who seems to have any interest in even trying to meet it.

To all my people in Portland, be safe. I'm so sorry you have to live in these interesting times. To the rest of us, share the actual words sent by the president of the United States. This is a declaration of war on a city under false pretenses.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

Ah yes, I got to introduce a room to this fine flick tonight. Still holds up after a 3rd viewing.

What in tarnations?

I am truly sad no one in Salt Lake City decided to pick this up. If the Tower was still around in its original incarnation or Brewvies still had a finger on the pulse I feel like we'd be buying tickets right now.

WE BELIEVE IN LOVE

Me be like

Today I received the physical copy of the dictionary I bought. It feels like a small act of rebellion and a welcome step back to using another book as reference without worry of it being changed. That Orwellian fear has come about for various contemporary reasons.
