Classic. 😔

Even the birds aren't getting a break.

⚡️UPDATE: @mikefortennessee.bsky.social Cortese becomes the first Democrat running in TN-5 to say ICE should no longer exist. The race is to unseat Andy Ogles. This is what Molder/Torino/Neal/Cortese previously said when we asked after Renee Good: tnholler.com/2026/01/shou...

As dangerously cold temperatures move through New York, we have opened 10 warming centers across all five boroughs to provide safe, heated indoor spaces for New Yorkers in need. Centers will be open through at least Monday evening at the following locations —>

And there goes the power.

A glass of mango habanero wine, a new 16 port 10 GbE switch and a plan to make it my new core switch while everyone is asleep. What could possibly go wrong?

Just a reminder for those who may be overwhelmed by their BlueSky feeds...

Maybe?

A markdown file I pulled into VS Code had 27 lint problems. 26 of them were 4-space indents instead of 2 and 1 was lack of a final CR. Asked GPT-5 mini to fix the problems. 8 minutes of crunching and it added the CR but then wanted to open a PowerShell prompt to fix the spaces. Agentic AI my ass.

You know who *did* show up somewhere with a gun, actually killed people and did not end up dead in the street?

BREAKING Minn. Latest Killing: Feds claim person they killed had a gun. Even if true, that's not a crime. Indeed, this administration said repeatedly its 2d A protected activity. Agents would have to KNOW he had a gun and fear IMMINENT harm from it - that is yet to be established by any evidence.

I don't care if the man was Charles Manson, Son of Sam and Hitler all in one, you're telling me that a half-dozen of "ICE's finest" could not restrain one person without resorting to deadly force? Or are we to believe this guy had an SUV in his pocket that was about to "run someone over."

Digg is back, baby! (Not sure why the "baby." That was weird.) Regardless, I've been off reddit for a while since leadership there lost their minds. Digg is a breath of fresh air. Maybe it's the lack of [obvious] AI. Maybe it's nostalgia. Either way...

I am serious. Foreign visitation to the US is fraught right now and it might be easier and less stressful for some outlets to hire local instead of sending one of their own. Please let me know if you're such an outlet.

If I'm going to call out my own country on human rights violations, I sure as hell ain't going to give yours a pass.

Watch and take notes. You know who you are.

OK. I know everyone is too busy doomscrolling to actually engage on a personal level anymore, but... Why didn't anyone tell me Hazbin Hotel was so good?!

Going on record as liking LotR: Rings of Power. I've been a Tolkien reader for a long, long time. So I get why some might not care for it. (Legit reasons. Not bullshit anti-woke reason.) I'd have made a few different choices myself. That said, I'm enjoying the ride. I give it 6 rings out of 9

🔥🔥🔥 I swear... being a Rams fan is a roller-coaster ride.

Made the mistake of disabling my DNS server's blocklists and OMFG! The state of advertising today is INSANE. Look. I don't want to see Jason Statham in Shelter. It may be a great movie. I might have been mildly interested. But an autoplaying, full screen add after every paragraph? GTFO.

Episode 2 was good. I'm completely on board. Happy to see Tig. All the major ensemble pieces seem to be coming together. It seems to me that there's something here for everyone. Assuming you like fun. #StarTrek

Really enjoyed the first episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Standouts were Holly and Sandro's arms. Lots to like. A little trope-y in spots, but a good foundation. On to episode 2. #StarTrek

"Lilypads" I wasn't sure what I was going to share for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #One, but @churchstreetimages.com provided inspiration. My painting only has one flower to draw the eye. It's a win-win! #Art #Painting

Elle's red carpet dress code for the Actor Awards (formerly SAG awards) is the 1920/1930's. Because actually reliving the 1930's requires cosplay. Read this story in @variety.com which is not active on BlueSky but very active on Twitter. 🤔 www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

I can’t stop laughing at this

So look, it was a bad month for space whales. Europa's seafloor might be boring and dead and basically an inhospitable wasteland. Titan might have no ocean at all. It's probably fine though. Really. Even if you're just into this whole space thing for the aliens. More in this week's post: 🔭🧪
