Phew!! While I LOVE building #LEGO with my son, his attention to detail isn’t quite as thorough. I just had to disassemble part of a build, troubleshoot, and rebuild it but it’s done and all the gears are aligned and working well.

Everyone watching The Phantom Menace in 1999: “Why does this matter? Tarrifs and blockades of trade routes in outer space?” George Lucas in 2025:

Jamie Raskin asks citizens to mail in a request for Freedom of Information Act regarding DOGE accessing your social security information. Just print the form, mail it to DOGE, and then get on a list for Raskin to alert you to updates about the request. jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...

"It's so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with the federal government," sneered the woman to the people who elected her to be their voice in the federal government.

Tonight was Cosi Fan Tutti at the #LAOpera. Went with my daughter and we enjoyed what’s been called Mozart’s Temptation Island.

It’s a cult.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

This is so sad, a lot of those cars were only a few weeks away from exploding independently

As the wheel of the year starts turning again to spring, I’m trying to plant my own seeds in the way of new projects and new plans. In just the last few days, I’ve been busier and more active and social than usual and I’m enjoying this new pace. 🌱🌞⚖️

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Seriously. We all (those of us in the US) should prepare for the fact that when this happens, local PD is much more likely to side with the fascists.

The Dropkick Murphys > Apartheid Clyde.

My new morbid habit is looking up photos from the date of criminal details. For instance, the date that Lori Daybell was buying wedding rings, I was at the opera with my spouse.

The Trump administration has deported over 200 Venezuelans from the United States to a sprawling prison in El Salvador, even as a federal judge ordered their return to the US reut.rs/4ixFXEU

Ran @chaosium.bsky.social’s Bits & Pieces again tonight, including for one player who had never played #CallOfCthulhu before and it was a BLAST! I love when I get the chance to run someone through their first CoC game.

Nothing quite like coming up with multiple costume options for the annual mixer at #ChaosiumCon. Possible solution: mid-mixer costume change.

Two days later, everyone at VOA has reportedly been fired.

Today’s Republican Party laud this. Make sure they don’t forget.

About an hour after going to bed, my dog horked. Sleepily cleaning up dog vom is certainly no fun, but it was a sign of things to come. She ended up sick a couple more times and the other dog (v elderly) had another indoor accident. Today has been a day.

Thank you to @schiff.senate.gov and to @padilla.senate.gov for standing firm.

Today was the day I moved my kit brew into the fridge to condition. Here’s a referral link should you want to easily make your own beer, cider or seltzer at home: shop.pinter.com/free-pinter/...

Here is a public Senate vote tracker on who has declared their votes on the budget resolution and who is leaning Yes or Unknown. Target your calls to those who are undecided or Lean Yes. Have at it. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

In fairness, it’s mere days away and I saw my first “patty,” but still: It’s St PADDY’s, it is NOT St Patty’s.

Stepping outside of my comfort zone to go to a silent book club meeting at a local lounge all by myself.

There are a lot of facets to the Khalil arrest, but I think this is an underappreciated one: Along with everything else it is an abuse of power offered in service of Trump's allies.

After seeing a few clips from the Surrounded episode with Sam Seder, I decided to watch the entire thing and… wow. The willful ignorance of some of these people is staggering. Many actually proved his points for him and acted like they got him for it.

Spouse is on his second week at a new job with completely different hours. I am so not used to be alone* most evenings. Loneliness as an adult is wild. I know I could call a friend. I could go somewhere. Lots I could do. *my nearly 14yo son is here, but lounging with Mom isn’t cool.

At ANY time you can say, “I was lied to and I believed him,” or “I don’t support this anymore.” The best time was before, but the second best time is right now.

Get in loser, we're tanking the economy

Lololol @samseder.bsky.social has to very slowly explain to this dude that government agencies don't pay taxes lolol

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

As a child of the 70s and 80s, this is an epic move from the judge.
