I guess I need a bio or some people will think I'm a bot. It's not a random number followed by an underscore followed by another random number. It all cleverly […] [bridged from https://sfba.social/@955_36 on the fediverse by https://fed.brid.gy/ ]

When I was in the 8th grade my social studies teacher ran a great program. If you did well on a test or your homework, you got some play money which you could invest in the stock market. She even had some prizes available at the end of the year for those who did the best. I did well on my […]

The passion fruit vine I grew from seed is finally flowering. It’s probably 4 or 5 years old at this point. We had a previous one for fruit, but it died after giving us exactly one fruit, with a tablespoon of juice. This one is ornamental but already is covered […] [Original post on sfba.social]

I have to say, eagerness to bend at the first sign of pressure is exactly the opposite of what I'd look for when hiring a law firm.

From this morning's arrest log. Sounds about right.

Today is my 26th anniversary of being self-employed. Got laid of on the ides of March, and started my own business on April 1, 1999. Bought my first digital camera that same year, an Epson PhotoPC 850Z which was a 2.1 megapixel camera. It cost $1000 and could only take a couple of dozen photos […]

Breaking: Having spoken for 11 hours in his ongoing marathon speech on the Senate floor, Senator Cory Booker has now surpassed the amount of time President Trump has gone without committing a crime.

Just had our first artichoke from the garden for dinner tonight. Seems early and caught me by surprise, but I'm not complaining. The first ones are so delicious.

The Democrats on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee are holding hearings about what's going on at VA. I was invited to testify at one of the hearings (will post more about this later) and was told, "If your friends and family want to watch live, this will […] [Original post on federate.social]

As the rain continues on and on, we've been battling ants all over the house. Kitchen, bathrooms, sunroom, bedroom they're everywhere. But they just escalated the war to an unacceptable level. They had the nerve to invade our gumball machine that is filled with M&M's. How dare they! Is nothing […]

Is it 1935 already? Wow. It seems like 1933 was just a month or two ago.

Everybody involved in #Signagate better change their preferences to find by name and find by phone number to no one if they're not already using that option. You think Russia or China don't already know the phone numbers for these fools? It would be so easy now to set up a completely spoofed […]

Apparently we have a bat living in our attic. We keep hearing it leave right at dusk. Makes quite a racket above our heads and it took me awhile to notice that we only hear it at dusk, so it's not a rat or other pest. Now I need to figure out where it's getting into the attic and research how to […]

If the spontaneous, international campaigns to destroy Tesla weren't working by seriously hurting Musk in the only place he can be hurt - his wallet - then there wouldn't be media campaigns to stop them. And there wouldn't be right-wing conspiracy theories that these efforts are being funded by […]

Spoke with a friend today who paraphrased @Dahlialith in telling me: it isn’t a sprint, it isn’t a marathon, it’s a relay. To deal with the Republican Fascists’ assault on U.S. constitution, democracy, and rule of law, we each have to be ready to hand off the baton when we need a break and to […]

I'm a 63-year-old straight cis married suburban white man who used to be a prosecutor, and these days I would rather hang out with unemployed young autistic queer furries than with at least half of people like myself. Why? Because my (old-school Republican) parents raised me to be an American […]

I keep up with the news even when the Republican Fascist actions are making me sick. What makes me feel stronger are the scenes of protest, hearing about plans for protest, reading court documents explaining the total unlawfulness of what Trump and his junta are doing. It is important to pay […]

I stood in the freezing rain this afternoon with a group of protesters in support of our military veterans. Hard core Democrats, all of us. And we're all sick of our leaders like Schumer and Newsom. What do we have to do to get it through their thick skulls that Republicans are playing by […]

When you're the Democratic leader and you get congratulated by Trump, you should know that you fucked up. Big Time. #ShumerSurrender
