We had 3000 folks at the Alameda No Kings protest. Small town on an island in the Bay Area, California.

It’s funny how we didn’t have protests in every major city and an authoritarian military parade in DC when Obama and Biden were in office

How I know my brain is broke: I’m 6 months away from paying off my car and that thought actually bums me out because that damn interest rate is so damn good and I’ll never get an interest rate that good in a very long time

Abolish ICE. No human is illegal. They’re sweeping Home Depot parking lots. These are day laborers trying to find work not criminals and they are arresting anyone indiscriminately and acting like their documents are fake. This is a facisim regime trying to provoke a fight.

CEQA needs an overhaul. How about laws about objective standards instead of requiring huge studies?

I'm sharing my docker based media server media-stack setup on github. All the classic ARR apps to download and watch all of your media. There are many repo examples like this but this is my setup that works for me. github.com/zbowling/med...

It’s funny to me how Target is learning the hard way that the people that actively care about DEI have more spending power in their stores than those actively fighting. I mean it seems obvious to me.

My Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant stopped responding. I haven't logged into that Pi in a year. Forget the IP and stack entirely. Probably just needs a reboot. But now I'm down a rabbit hole buying 4x miniPCs to setup a home kubernet cluster to run that and other containers #homelab

I honestly didn’t expect to see .NET open source thriving as hard as it is within in the content privacy ecosystem. Jellyfin, sonarr, radarr, lidarr, etc and the dozen of tools in that ecosystem are all almost all writen in C# for Linux. Most moved from Mono to .NET Core too.

The Trump Administration is again trying to walk away from its legal obligation to facilitate fair housing. I’m co-leading 18 AGs in urging it to reverse course. Ending housing discrimination and fostering diverse communities should not be controversial. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

I might’ve said too much on this podcast I was invited on that might get me in trouble talking about local politics and how to build better cities. Still very much worth watching. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wE5d...

Illinois’ Democratic governor JB Pritzker possesses the kind of fighting spirit we need take on and topple a tyrant like Trump. Pritzker is teeming with fierce opposition to the madness of MAGA — precisely what Americans need at this dangerous point in our nation’s history. In a fiery…

My internet is faster than your internet. I can’t believe this is the speed I get on my MacBook at home in a suburban neighborhood in a house built in 1900. In 1997 I was happy to have 1mbps and I had the fastest internet in my entire school.

California is now the 4th largest economy in the world overtaking Japan - yet we still only get 2 senators. The smaller (and often welfare dependent) states get the DEI treatment in the US senate.

Why is this massive duely lifted truck in our urbanized island city? You can’t even park that anywhere. It won’t fit. Also where is your license plate bro? I use that excuse of a bike lane right there everyday and you make it dangerous. We don’t need your type around here.

Given the issues with Presidential immunity domestically I think we should deport Trump to face war crimes in an international criminal court. Trump already proved the precedent that the admin can deport even citizens w/o due process so he wouldn’t be immune himself. Then we fix it after he is out.

The only way to stop the impending recession would be for congressional republicans to grow a spine, claw back this tariff control Trump has, and follow it up with the impeachment/resigation of Trump. There is no way consumers will trust anything until he is gone.
