As of this morning, I am on the job market, #OpenToWork, or however that is designated here. 🙂 I’m immediately looking for a new position, and my DMs are open. Thanks network!

This account is run by me!

They censored her. But I’m pretty sure she said FUCK ICE

Not to mention the ridiculous fiction from the Trump regime that housing shortages and high prices are 100% caused by housing demand from undocumented immigrants (as opposed to private equity firms buying up housing and many other factors).

Here is a Tidal link tidal.com/track/493952...

"When that man is dead and gone" A protest song about *checks notes* Adolf Hitler recorded eight years ago that Youtube randomly is recommending to people this week for no reason whatsoever 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDkh...

It's pretty amazing when an employer actually asks you what kind of work machine you want instead of just giving you whatever mediocre machine they want.

This is from a Sony YT video promoting their new PS-LX5BT turntable. It is actually a decent entry-level turntable, but the speaker placement (about two feet apart, on the same surface as the turntable), with the listening position at least ten feet away is very bad.

Just a reminder of the Support Lifecycle dates for SQL Server. SQL Server 2016 falls out of Extended Support on July 14, 2026. #SQLServer

Microsoft has re-released SQL Server 2022 CU23 and SQL Server 2025 CU1. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubl... learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubl... #SQLServer #SQLServer2022 #SQLServer2025

Streaming some good Linda Ronstadt tonight.

This is a big deal. I lived in Parker (in Douglas County) for 15 years before moving to Elizabeth (in even more red Elbert County) eleven years ago. They take their gun ownership very seriously out here.

Good riddance! He needs to face multiple criminal and civil charges.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Hey friends - code completions are now available for GitHub Copilot in SQL Server Management Studio! SSMS 22.2.1 dropped today - blog post with more info: techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/sqlserv...

Very brave attorney, doing great work here.

This is a post on LinkedIn from Bob Ward regarding the Database Mail issue with SQL Server 2022 CU23 and SQL Server 2025 CU1. www.linkedin.com/posts/bobwar... BTW, this issue does NOT affect any earlier versions of SQL Server. #SQLServer #SQLServer2022 #SQLServer2025

If you use Database Mail in SQL Server, you should not install SQL Server 2022 CU23 (which breaks Database Mail). learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubl... #SQLServer #SQLServer2022

More BIOS flashing going on around here.

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

Yes, you are much safer from being in a romantic relationship if you own and drive an ugly Tesla Cybertruck that is sold by a white-supremacist fascist... This is from a somewhat desperate Tesla marketing e-mail.

This is especially ironic given how much lasting damage the Trump regime has done to the Tennessee bourbon industry by pissing off Canadians (which is a hard thing to do) in so many ways.

Hoo-boy, this will be a train-wreck of a fluffing job.

Microsoft has released GDR Updates for SQL Server 2022 and SQL Server 2025. support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/... #SQLServer #SQLServer2025

Katie Tur has been a not-so-subtle MAGA/Trump defender (even though she works at MS NOW) for quite a while. She and Tony Dokoupil are a match.

This seems extremely clear to me. The ICE Agent who shot and killed Renee Good was not hit by her SUV. The front wheels of the SUV were turned to the right (away from him). He was filmed walking away normally, uninjured, with no limp shortly afterwards. That ICE goon needs to be prosecuted.

Make sure everyone remembers this:

AMD Ryzen AI Halo

AMD Ryzen AI Max

AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series for notebooks. Of course, the high price of RAM and fast SSD storage (caused by AI data center demand) is going to be a problem.

This is pretty kick-ass from AMD

This is an interesting but ineffective spam/phishing email that has been showing up multiple times a day lately. Especially since I have never had an iCloud account or owned any Apple device in my entire life. The assumption by the bad guys that most people will probably have an iCloud account.

I scored this three CD set today at 2nd and Charles. I had never listed to Herbie Nichols before tonight. It is quite different than most 1955-1956 hard bop jazz. #jazz #hardbop

This is unfortunately not surprising from Tony Dokoupil and Bari Weiss. I am a little surprised that the chyron says Secretary of Defense instead of "Secretary of War"

More hard bop jazz music from 1960! Sunny Side Up from Lou Donaldson. It was originally released on Blue Note, but this is the SACD version from 2011 by Analog Productions.

Just bought Blues and Roots from Charles Mingus today. It's from 1960, and I had never heard it before. The more Mingus I hear, the more I like it. #jazz #hardbop

I'm 99.99% sure that this is an AI slop image. People keep posting it though. The three silver components are way out of proportion, being far too wide. The small wood color speakers are also ridiculous.

Free Bird may be the most annoyingly overplayed song ever but have you seen a couple of hotties shred it on the bagpipes and an electric violin?

Dean Martin's "Sleep Warm" from 1959. I think many people primarily remember Dean Martin from his mostly silly movies with Jerry Lewis, but he was a legitimate singer before that.

I've been listening to a lot of music from the late 1950s-early 1960s lately. Lena Horne could sing!

"...ARRANGE FOR THE EXTERMINATION OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS." "Doctor Who: The Dalek Invasion of Earth - Flashpoint" (1964). #DoctorWho

I've always liked this album. Listening to it on Christmas Eve on a FLAC 192kHz/24bit version on Tidal

I love updating all the things!

Two very good beers from Jester King in Austin, TX. "Greetings from Krampus" Triple Hazy IPA
