Being unemployed, with kids out of school, and a holiday in the middle of the week is... unbalancing.

I am unhappy to report that I helped work on the policy that allows ICE to do Roblox. It was part of an online safety program to combat child exploitation and abuse. Not whatever this is.

Job fair experience yesterday was depressing. 20 odd companies filled a small conference room for an audience of former federal workers and contractors. Lots of law enforcement, IT, and some defense contractors. Problem was, none of the companies had actual recruiters there.

Because I am a Recognized Safety Person on the Internet, I get questions. Specifically, about personal protective equipment (PPE) to take to a protest assuming a cop riot will happen. I have a meta-answer people do not like. Bringing PPE to a protest will be claimed as a intent to resist arrest.

Finished "The Book of M' by @pengshepherd.bsky.social last night. This story is about people dealing with the end of the world--which was brought on by a plague that caused most of the world to lose their shadows, and with it their memories.

There's this guy in my Signal chat for ex-federal employees from the office I worked for that these fascists shut down, and he thinks that ChatGPT will make him a lawyer (he 'checks all the legal citations'). Also a poet and an artist.

That time I ran into Justin Timberlake wrapped up in a giant scarf, walking kind of like a robot, on 8th St. He made eye contact and accidentally* let his scarf drop so I could see it was him. He fled, then a bunch of young women came around the corner, breathless, saying 'i think he went that way!'

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

My Diablo 4 character, a literal werewolf surrounded by 3 other werewolves, with a floating demon head flying around her, breathing fire. Villager: I knew it! They engage in dark heresy!
