Tonight on CBS and Paramount+.

Effectively closes our borders. Feature, not a bug I guess.

An officer tells us it showed up unbidden on the computer today. For lack of anything better to do they tried it, asking when the latest NDS was. It replied with a history of Nintendo.

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

So I found myself falling back into a position of knowing that stuff is broken but not saying anything. That's deadly in an engineering role. #DeepThoughts2025

Neglected to get pictures of my cook tonight but I can vouch for this recipe - we loved the flavors! Next time, I'll take the chicken out and thicken the sauce with cornstarch, but that's kind-of a nit. #dinner #cook damndelicious.net/2022/01/08/e...

WATCH: An ICE agent pushes away a home security camera as she approaches a house. This is what a police state looks like.

@w7voa.journa.host.ap.brid.gy congratulations on the upgrade to Amateur Extra! Licensed in 1977, upgraded to Advanced in 1980, took me a while to take the last step ca. 1992 (fortunately I was still operating Morse code). I appreciate the effort and ... welcome to the top, OM! 73 DE K6JQ dit dit

Do not bet on the prince (or princess).

Tom Nichols: “The FBI used to strike terror into the hearts of our enemies on American soil. The Soviets who were screwing around over here in the United States during the Cold War really feared the FBI. Are any of our opponents really afraid of Kash Patel?” @radiofreetom.bsky.social @velshi.com

I think about this tweet a lot

George Will: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement." True, but he's working on a war. Any day now. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Not everybody will get this, but, those who get it will big-time. THIS IS THE REAL EFFING DEAL! Not some lame Brak impersonator, this is the actual Brak!

Terrific image, and terrific combination of photo-nerdery and antenna-nerdery. 10/10.

Thinking of @srasgon.bsky.social

Hegseth is a dude-bro sporting some questionable tattoos, a creation of television who’s acting as if he won "The Apprentice: The Nuclear-Weapons Season." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

@amerrill2.bsky.social started growing my latest beard in September and I was gonna trim my beard last month and wife says "hey! the grandkids need Santa!" so here I am

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

@radiofreetom.bsky.social do you see the resemblance between Sec Hegseth and Gen Turgidson, too?

latest sham investigation just dropped

Why, yes. Yes it is

If you plan to follow this advice, please see me after class

The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot. Service members do have a duty to refuse illegal orders All Americans have a 1st Amendment right to say that out loud.

Virtually the definition of...

@swradiogram.bsky.social less than perfect reception of 427 on 5850kHz 0800z near Napa, CA, text was about 90%. 40m dipole + Icom IC-7300. As always, thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social #radio #shortwave #data

“Her whereabouts are unknown as of Sunday morning.” www.cbsnews.com/news/madison...

The thing that really eats at me is that anyone tolerating this, this administration, is quietly approving of *this*. Quietly telling all of daughters "quiet, piggy!".

These are the type of statements you later regret making at the trial.

I don't...how...wut?

Every single time I see someone complain about "gatekeeping" on reddit, they're tacitly gatekeeping. Every. Single. Time.

one reader at a time 👍

@swradiogram.bsky.social Unsurprisingly poor reception of 1330z WRMI, but I did decode the tail-end text! CM88we 20m dipole IC-7300

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

@swradiogram.bsky.social mediocre reception of WINB this evening here in Napa, CA area (CM88) - better than listening to a voice program though. Icom IC-7300, 40m dipole. Thank you @kaedotcom.bsky.social

Took this photo (35mm Kodak Tri-X) last summer in Isleton, CA. Amused to see this building now showing-up in FB ads, it's for sale, what a bargain at $150k! Except it needs to be rebuilt, including the foundation :-)

If you have a shortwave-capable receiver, give this a try. Heck, if you don't, find a KiwiSDR (google it) and you've got a shortwave-capable receiver. In any case, @swradiogram.bsky.social is totally worth following and participating in a global radio experiment.

For some reason, this episode makes me think of @radiofreetom.bsky.social every time. youtube.com/shorts/VEuPz...

Oh, the cringe! The delightful, delectable cringe! From the single best Star Trek (TOS) episode, one of the best of the entire franchise. youtube.com/shorts/n4OHZ...

We live a few miles from several duck clubs (managed wetlands with in-season duck hunting) and it is duck season. Just heard the first shots of the morning at 622a, a little later than expected - normally they start exactly 30 minutes before sunrise :-)

When ICE acts like bad guys, bad guys say they're ICE.
