I did not expect this kind of fire from Eliot Cohen, but he has Hegseth absolutely pegged www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Got my Moderna Covid-19 booster today! RFK Jr. can suck it!

I especially like how the ICE goons like to dress up and cosplay as Special Forces style "operators" and then show how incompetent and out of shape they really are.

Some good Rage Against the Machine for Portland!

Sony XA20ES CD player going to a Yamaha C-60 Stereo Control Amplifier and then to a Yamaha C-80 Stereo Power Amplifier connected to Martin Logan Foundation F2 speakers.

Yet another reorganize of the office systems.

Hitting 105W Brewing in Castle Rock. It's a beautiful fall day!

Nearly 7 million views for ABC's official YouTube video of Kimmel's 28-minute monologue overnight. It is already the most-viewed Kimmel clip of the year on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

I thought "the rapture" was supposed to happen today...

Got to see and meet John Scalzi today at @tatteredcover in Denver!

A wonderful time last night. Denver, see you this afternoon at Tattered Cover!

This is such a massive self-own by the idiots in the Trump regime. South Korea is/was a valuable ally and friend. Having ICE publicly grab several hundred Koreans and humiliate them won't soon be forgotten by people in South Korea.

Finished V1 of my electronics workbench.

Not a bad view in Denver...

A lot of folks are more worried about the new Football season than any of this. Plus, probably 30-40 percent of Americans are cheering all of this on, which is very sad.

Listening to KUVO 89.3 in Denver on a 1978-vintage Sony ST-J60 FM Stereo Tuner. This was their TOTL tuner in 1978, with an MSRP of $400 (which was a lot of money back then).

Stephen Miller is so evil (and creepy)

I've been watching episodes of Peter Gunn from 1958. The star (Craig Stevens) always wears what seem to be (at least to my untrained eye) very nice, well-tailored suits. Peter Gunn's style was a big part of his character. I wonder what @dieworkwear.bsky.social thinks of these suits?

RFK Jr. is going to kill so many people and cause so much sickness and suffering for so many others with all of his ignorant beliefs and actions.

Building a custom system for a friend of mine

I had to reference a YT video to find the interior hood release latch on my MIL's 2015 Honda CR-V (which made me feel pretty dumb). It is near the fuel door release door but placed where you can't easily see it from the driver's seat or by just sticking your head in the driver's area.

A "mockup" of a test bench layout. I'm going to build something with shelves.

This is very good. It is also very sad.

America's founding fathers knew the value of a free and independent press. I'm excited for Next to showcase a 12-part, locally-produced project delivering short, approachable conversations about the First Amendment.

THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.

A magazine ad for the BMG Music Service from October 1994. "Get 8 CDs for the Price of 1"

i named a cat after Jack White and right now i couldn’t be more proud

We had a LOT of very good Thai and Filipino cover bands when I was stationed in Okinawa many years ago.

Newsom is winning… 🤭😂🤣 #SheShed

I was in grad school when this book came out in 1991, and I remember reading it. Japan was seen as a serious naval threat due to their growing economic power. But it takes more than money to have an effective navy. Thankfully, a shooting war never happened. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Com...

Lots of big mustaches in cigarette ads in 1986. Apparently, "light" cigarettes were the thing. I'm looking through issues of Audio Magazine, which is why I'm seeing this.

Magazine ads from 1986 were a little different...

Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" on a 1980's vintage system.

mssql-python vs pyodbc: Benchmarking SQL Server Performance - devblogs.microsoft.com/python/mssql... A pretty big rewrite, actually

Microsoft has released GDR security updates for SQL Server 2016 and newer (all major versions that are still in Mainstream or Extended Support) today. Here is one example: support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/... #SQLServer

This is funny, but sad and scary too. ICE is very much like the SA was in Nazi Germany right now.

Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley playing on a Denon DCD-1290 CD player going into a Carver C-1 Sonic Holography Preamplifier and then to a Yamaha Natural Sound Stereo Power Amplifier. This is a great album!

I recently acquired a 1984 Yamaha M-80 Natural Sound Stereo Power Amplifier. The 1984 MSRP was $950. It weighs 51 lbs and has 250 WPC at 8 ohms.

New toy that I need to learn how to use! Hameg HM5010 Spectrum Analyzer.

This is pretty funny and on point

Very nice FB Marketplace find! A Sony CDP-XA20ES Compact Disc Player. This was made from 1998-2000. It was one down from the TOTL ES model and it had an MSRP of $700. It works perfectly, and is in excellent cosmetic condition. It was an early birthday present for me.

This is so bad. Such a self-own by the Trump Regime. But this is part of the Project 2025 plan.
