I'm back.

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.

I’m at a 3-year-old’s birthday party. The theme is pirate fairies. When I walked in, the birthday girl gave me a pirate hat and some wings (and declared that I’m now her dad’s sister). Thus have I achieved peak fashion.

I am become mattress.

Something new, with many meanings. Now to see how it heals up. By Aria-Blair at Tarot Tattoo in Richmond, IN.

Tattoo day.

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

This morning, I discovered that I live less than 15 miles (25km) from the highest point in all of Indiana. Its elevation is only about 165 feet (50m) more than my house. This sounds like the sort of stupid field trip that I need to go on.

Been reading The Hobbit to the kids when they’re over for bedtime. Trying to do some voices to keep it interesting. My Gandalf and Gollum aren’t great, but they don’t mind. 💙 Also, Beorn is now a hillbilly. I needed an accent in a hurry, and that’s what he got.

HR: "Let's turn our cameras on so we can see everyone's smiles!" Me:

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

Science is good. We should fund it.

Good chutes. Good splash. Stable 1. Welcome back, Integrity. Absolutely stunning.

Welcome home Integrity.

Watching reentry with the kids. They’re more interested in their tablets and the Switch, but they DID agree that (a) CM/SM separation looks cool and (b) the Artemis plushie is cute.

Never had a choice Never let the opps win

I haven't known the right thing to say. I still don't. I'm sorry. I'm still here.

this one hurts the most

Tom Scott returns to Nebula March 23.

What, me? Up past midnight playing Opus Magnum? I would NEVER. (I totally did.)

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

And of course, with one inspiration comes another!

It's now an hour past when I meant to be asleep and I'm prying myself away from my computer so YEP THAT PREDICTION WAS TRUE

I have just been made aware of Opus Magnum. This will be taking up a great deal of my time soon, I fear.

Is the job market right now complete shit? Absolutely. But dear gods does this ever add insult to injury. Related note: Late is not always better than never. Special shout-out to Microsoft for taking SEVEN MONTHS to send a "no thanks" response on a job I'd applied for.

Windows 14 rumored to have a free trial with no limit on playtime all the way up to level 70, including the award winning expansions "Heavensward" and "Stormblood," sources say.

It appears that she was doing a keynote and Q&A when the news broke. Part for the course for these fucks.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

This neighborhood ain’t gonna bark at itself.

Strong opinion moment here. There is a difference between an “accidental discharge” and a “negligent discharge.” A MASSIVE difference. And the International Business Times UK (this headline’s source) is on the wrong side of it. These weren’t accidents. These were negligence.

You mean the guys who couldn't qualify for the military or police force are actually not all that talented? I'm so shocked.
