RE: https://mastodon.social/@tootapp/115521322310896928 Woohoo!

They don't want the government opening back up. Certainly not this year. Maybe not at all. #uspol #uspolitics #Politics #fascism #abortion #AbortionRights #AbortionIsHealthcare

@smellsofbikes So, how well positioned are you to design a custom backplane circuit board, which would include both ac-to-dc power conversion and gigabit Ethernet?

RFK Jr. fleeing the scene of a medical emergency is honestly the best outcome anyone could hope for.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

[Medical mumblings] Last time I met with my endocrinologist, we decided to stop the Ozempic, to see if it helps with the gastroparesis. Good news! My gastroparesis has been _entirely_ quiescent since about 2.5 weeks after the last shot. Haven’t thrown up once, nor even felt like I might. Bad […]

Another major wave of rain. Not sure where they're getting it all, they've gotta run out eventually, no?

My mood today seems to be improved compared to most days recently. I can only assume it's because I moved news-source accounts to a List and off my main timeline, then fell seven hours behind on reading it.

Nice and quiet, all calm, then a ROAR of rain on the roof. Set off the motion detection on the back door cam, too.

the 'reply' button still does not work in the web UI under Orion. ::P

Network's getting a LOT of packet loss. Tempted to reboot the modem to see if that helps, but I fear it may just as likely hurt.

Once again sounds like my house is gonna end up in Kansas.

Quoots in a client that doesn’t support them look exactly as bad as bsky boosts do via the bridge. Totally annoying and useless. Guess I’ll see if I can still get in on my client’s TestFlight.

Dinner: Footlong meatball from Subway Two scoop sundae from Big Scoop (1 cookies and cream, 1 cookie dough, peanut butter sauce, hot fudge sauce)

Whats wrong? Oh..

2. In a ruling issued from the shadow docket, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority sided with the Trump administration on an emergency request on transgender passport restrictions—a process historically reserved for national crises but increasingly deployed to fast-track admin policies.

Damnit! I already had lunch. Maybe Subway for dinner…

MSNBC: Jury finds D.C. sandwich thrower Sean Dunn not guilty of misdemeanor assault The Justice Department has suffered a series of losses in politically charged cases in President Donald Trump’s second term […]

Yelling “your mother abandoned you for a reason!” at a wasp doesn’t seem to have had the devastating emotional impact that was intended.

The establishment is not worried that Zohran Madmani's policies will fail. It is worried that they will succeed and prove the entire system is based on lies.

Ok, upgrade's gonna need some more attention than that. Will try again later.

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.

Just accepted the Blossom proposal. 2 FranklinWA aPower batteries, with the generator integration and inlet, but without the generator for the moment (to stop me wibbling about it, I decided to push that off for later [likely until after I regret not having it. Barn doors and horses, y’know]) […]

Gaaahhhhh [bleaches eyeballs] Just saw someone reference a “3kmAh” battery. Ok, sure, yes, a three thousand milliamp-hour battery. But no. You do not use SI prefixes that way. No. Bad. At the very VERY least, say “3k mAh”. But really, ffs, it’s just 3Ah.

FBI says criminals are posing as masked ICE agents. Who except for everyone could have predicted this?

Uggghhhh decision making is hard. Basically looking at $47k all in to get 30kWh of batteries, 14kW of generator, and all the accessories and what nots. But also to never. Ever. Ever. Have to worry about electricity again. In this house. It’s not a question of if I can afford it, but if I want […]

More serious wind. I am moderately certain there’s a solar panel above my office that’s rattling. Might just be a window rattling.

Someone at work just pronounced “IMO” as “eyemoe” and it struck me as odd.

The last time I saw an analysis of how much political power each generational cohort held, it was before millennials started really getting anywhere. I wonder if anyone has a more recent analysis.

Damn. I'm getting my hair done tomorrow and meant to shower this afternoon. I wonder if it's too late... guess we'll find out!

Cuomo couldn't even make it to 10pm womp womp

Once again loving how things have to get absolutely wrecked for people to vote for basic decency. But, hey, I'll take what I can get. Until I'm allowed to murder people with my mind, at least.

Well, that's the news I was hoping for. Still waiting to hear how Seattle manages to fuck up, tho.

And now Mikie Sherrill A major loss for anti-trans ads tonight.

Hm. King Mala is gonna be playing in Seattle later this month. Ah well.

does anyone know any furry artists that are also good at drawing trains? i have an idea i want to commission and god i can't for the life of me find any please boost for extra reach! :boost_requested:

Wish people would stop telling me to go vote. The hike out to the mailbox is taxing.

Because your best bet is to punish the people who _agree_ with you enough to uproot their lives and move halfway across the country? https://c.im/@cdarwin/115493491150803019

Y’know, if I was smart, I’d keep track of my deductible donations. I’m pretty sure they’ve been enough to make a measurable change in my tax bill for a few years now. But my sloth far far outweighs my greed.

Humans are _really_ annoying me today and I have to stay sober for another hour, because I have a meeting in 30 minutes.
