Growing up in Milwaukee in the 70s and 80s, Ueck was the soundtrack to my summers. All of my roadtrips across WI when I was in grad school in the 90s were narrated by Ueck & Brewer games. Baseball lost an icon. www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...

The Grifting Imbecile did this the last time, too. I used to be a National Lab research scientist. His transition team sent out a questionnaire demanding a list of all professional societies, political activities, who we voted for, etc. The request ended up dying, as they pled “ignorance”. Not now.

Wanna know why the system is so fucked up?? Look at this graph. When those lines diverge enough, human history tells us, with certainty, that violence follows. It’s taken 45 years to get here. And we just elected a grifting imbecile that wants to push these lines farther apart.

Boy - do I feel this!! My wife has chronic illness and is a cancer survivor. We’ve gone to battle with health insurance companies for decades! Not saying I’d shoot someone… I am saying that I understand the blinding rage that would lead someone to consider it.

This is a cool article about how stars like the sun tend to meet their end. Cosmic time and space are mind numbing in their vastness.

“Worked” at a bar is quite the euphemism for whatever Boebert does, but the rest is hilarious! 😂

The plaques recognizing my patents finally arrived! Yay me! Even though it’s been 3 years since I moved over into the EV Battery Team, I haven’t forgotten everything that I learned about engines. Have we a few applications submitted on battery technology too. Nerds gonna nerd… 🤓

I’m a guitar player - lots of great musicians in my feed - but the last thing I expected to see this morning was this. The f**king grift just never ends with this asshole, does it???

From the “Getting old is NOT for the faint of heart” file - MRI showing an arthritic vertebra, squashed disc, and pinched spinal cord. Then an X-Ray with my new titanium disc implant. “We can rebuild him. We have the technology.” 😎 Recovery has been good but slow. Glad I had it done!

We had some of the coolest Northern Lights displays of the summer up here in NW WA! Most of the time, it’s too stinkin’ cloudy to get any good photos. But summer often has clear skies. Trying to maintain a good mindset under trying circumstances, like most of us.
