President Trump has made one of his top priorities disenfranchising millions of eligible citizens ahead of the midterms — but we have a real chance to stop him. Tell your Senators to protect our freedom to vote by rejecting the SAVE America Act.

I've been using Internet connected plugs and an app on my phone to turn lights on and off for the last decade, so having to actually walk over to a lamp and use the switch feels primitive. Savage. What's next, flint knapping?

Riding two-up on a motorcycle with someone you love changes how you ride in ways nobody warns you about. Not just the weight and the braking distance. Something deeper. youtu.be/dD3pHrkpJ-M #motosky #motorcycle

I'd like to point out that ICE agents are subject to the same budget freeze that TSA agents are. Why are they not calling in sick from not being paid? Are they somehow being paid?

I do believe that Old Man Mose is dead. (youtu.be/WbA_qkf1BBI )

I hate the Darmok episode of TNG because it blows my suspension of disbelief. That species could never achieve spaceflight, let alone warp drive. If I said to you, "Einstein at Princeton! Einstein... /on/ his toilet!" You might get the idea of deep thoughts, but you'd never get general relativity

I worked in a cardiac step-down unit for a while before I got my first Peds unit. A step-down unit is a step down from the ICU. You're too ill for a med/surg ward, but not ill enough for the ICU.

I wish I could still get that much joy from my tutu frillin' in the wind. (youtu.be/I9HV6lok7hk )

I keep seeing / reading accounts of people talking at Parade Rest, and in Boot Camp, I was taught /never/ to talk in the position. Does the Army do things differently, or is this people from outside military culture not knowing the rules?

If you want to ensure I don't watch / listen to your debate / panel, including Neil deGrasse Tyson is an excellent first step. Arrogant ass.

"Let's kick it like it's 1986, now!" --Emma Scherer. I'd love to, but I don't think I can get my foot that high anymore. In 1986, I was studying karate, and could kick at head level with decent force.

Everything about the band Gorillaz makes them something I should like... but I don't.

New video is up :D #motosky youtu.be/Ktu6FyZnm1s?...

I should check whether the local hardware store has Adirondack chairs. There's a balcony off the master bedroom, and days have been nice enough that I could sit out there and read, create some natural vitamin D.

Huh. Robert Mueller, former FBI director, former Special Counsel, died yesterday at the age of 81, possibly because of complications of Parkinson's disease.

Please. We won't even make Puerto Rico a state, and Cuba is in /much/ worse shape. (youtu.be/kW2EGLUnnD4 )

I never had so many people interested in my underwear as when I started wearing kilts.

Iran fired missiles at Diego Garcia?! Wow, their missiles have much longer legs than I understood. When I was in the Navy, virtually any mention of Diego Garcia was closely followed by "it's a /long/ way from /anywhere/!"

Dang, iQiYi doesn't seem to have a Playstation client.

Mayor Mandani can't run for President of the United States, because he's a naturalized citizen. But I wonder if NYC Mayor to PotUS is a viable path. NYC has a higher population and budget than Nevada, so if Governor is a qualifying job....

Post a picture you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

If you have a hashtag with multiple words, write the hashtag in #PascalCase or #camelCase to help users of screen readers. That helps the screen reader to read out the words out individually, rather than trying to read them in one long word.

Movie scores do weird things to musicians.

It's Wizard Time, Papasmurfer!

And the man in the back yelled "everyone attack!" and it turned into a ballroom blitz!

Is Forbes mostly reporting favorably on Democrats in Congress, or is the YT algorithm pandering to me?

Candice and her squirrels are earworming me. Step right over and watch me put it down!

Oh, snow outside paper windows! So picturesque!

Thanks to @jamesdramac.bsky.social, I have a new C-drama to binge. If anyone needs me I'll be over... there. 📺🤩🍿

Apparently, it's not as random as all that, because the asshole behind it has apparently decided to target me specifically.

Whenever I see helmets with the beak like that, I am always reminded of MacRoss / Battletech. Also? Do UK bikers not have the superstition about not putting your helmet on the ground unless there's an emergency?

Oh, @kaiasonderby.bsky.social is on Bsky! Damn, she hasn't posted in months.

I /really/ like the worlds of Kaia Sønderby. I regret the lack of anything new from her in a while.

Overheard a conversation about money between a (probably) married couple of similar age to myself. When Sara got too ill to work, I set up an automatic deposit to her account every time I got paid, so she'd never have to ask me to get something she wanted. It was a good arrangement.

It has been alleged that Epstein sold pictures of Donnie's golf balls in holes before the 18th to Israel, and that's why Diaper Felon is going along with Bibi's demands.

Playing "Cowboys and Indians" is a different experience when you live on the Navajo reservation.

Pic 1: how the weekend begins. Pic 2: how the weekend ends. #motorcycles

I am absolutely not complaining about the temperatures here in Wendover, but I shudder to think what the summer will bring. Also? Warmest, driest winter on record in Northern Nevada. Water is going to be an issue in the state this year.

Does anyone else remember these? Chuck Norris had his own brand of jeans with a gusset in the crotch that was reputed to let you kick higher. He advertised them in Black Belt magazine, among other places. I coveted a pair, but had to settle for wearing my trousers loose enough to be able to move.

Huh. Chuck Norris is really, for-real, no-foolin' dead. 86 years old.

To the guy who keeps making new accounts to repost my posts and beg me for money: Boy, are you barking up the wrong tree.

I went to high school at a school that was shared between the little town in Arizona that had the highest per capita income in the state, and one that... didn't. Which is probably why one of the guys in my class had a Corvette Stingray, and I had a hand-me-down Honda CB350.

Terms of venery are what we call groups of things -- a business of ferrets, a murder of crows, a herd of horses or cows. Sara and I used to play with that, "Wha'd'ya call a group of ____?" "A _____!" Just read one she'd've liked: an argument of scientists.

How is it Friday again /already/?! At least I remembered to get the garbage bin to the kerb this week.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a child.

Once again, the Chair Force falls back on relying on the plane they keep trying to kill. (www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-ai... )

"Oil and gas pipelines west, through Israel, and you've eliminated the Straits of Hormuz as a chokepoint." --Netanyahu Yeah, but you've substituted an environmental catastrophe when the pipeline gets bombed.

Hail Valkyries, choosers of the slain. Be with the valiant now and in the hour of our death.

I worked at a clinic in Manhattan's financial district while Sara attended NYU. The best perq offered by the job? They bought my monthly unlimited MetroCard for me.
