Russian bomber forces not having a good day today. I continue to be impressed with Ukraine's abilities.

You gotta love these guys

Absolutely lovely day today in Boise, Idaho. Temps are way down, the breeze is back and the sun is shinning.

I always knew that one of these days my OCD would save my ass

This is dangerous, cultish, and blasphemous. He’s purposely manipulating his Christian followers, and they should loudly condemn him for this.

Happy Star Wars Day for those old enough to get it.

And if you think it's bad now, the Billionaire Bailout Bill that passed the House this morning will be the biggest transfer of wealth in history if enacted.

If only Christian charity were as easy as accessorizing.

Interesting interview with Tony Gilroy on the making of Andor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hk3...

They found no fraud—just a new way to screw over retirees at Silicon Valley speed.

Take nothing, Trump says as truthful. There is no fucking F-55. He's just rifting the grift.

It's Murderbot Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSCD...

I fixed this meme.

It's mostly politics on my Bluesky feed, but the conclusion of Andor last night was absolutely fantastic. Brilliant storytelling and filmmaking.

President Trump fired the head of the U.S. Copyright Office after she released a report saying AI developers can't use copyrighted material at-will in their models.   Content creators and journalists must be fairly compensated for their work.

Yup. That’s the one.

"fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit" is a phrase that makes me feel like maybe i've passed away and all the news i read is all just the final neurons in my brain racing around making haphazard connections in the moments before darkness

Happy Mother's Day from the Boise River.

Wake up, America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyYq...

Spot on by Bill Gates. I knew he thought this but am glad he finally said it publicly. He has put up with such shitty misinformation from Musk over vaccines too.

Hardcoded credentials in the Signal archiving tool used by the White House is a five-alarm security dumpster fire.

When my wife and I retire, we will also hand back the two Windows laptops we use for work. Then I will be down to two Linux and one Mac laptops. We have to be paid to use Windows. ;-)

I thought Benjamin Bratt was excellent as Bail Organa in Andor S2. I hope he has more scenes coming up.

Before getting your knickers in a bind about shipping, tune in to a decent source for information. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXkW...

I just have to take a moment and salute the costume department for Andor. Damn!

Tell me again how Trump is not a Russian agent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTd4...

Morning run, lunch with local writer pals, new running shoes and dog walk. Now to rest in the garage and work on a model, while listening to YT videos.

Having a mocha at the Flying M cafe. Just a scene in my novel, Null Pointer.

Went for a sunset hike along the Oregon Trail with Laurie last night. First time in a long time that I've taken a picture, as I'm usually running the trail.

Took pictures of the Franklin model this weekend for the new cover of the re-release of Starstrikers, later this year. Shot on my Sony A6600 in the garage.

Picked up a souvenir in Lisbon's Museum of Resistance and Liberation. These things always come back in style.

Cairo and I on our daily walk. The crab-apple trees are blooming and my allergies have awakened. Pretty day, though.

Don't sleep on a US war with Iran. It's coming.

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

The next generation of stealth RAM looks impressive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRfh...

Not gonna lie, I thought they could fuck up Murderbot. But I'm loving the trailer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEio... 0
