Avoid the USA vm.tiktok.com/ZMSf2xNaA/

I stayed up late illustrating something for no real reason. I definitely didn't give out a google drive link with a high res version of it among friends and family for printing purposes.

In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects. Just us—‘We the People.’

Just another day of the Orange leading the Deranged. Hell of a B-Day present for dear leader, a dead senator, a dead congressperson, Marines detaining American Citizens on U.S. soil, a “military” parade, a cowardly sheriff promising unequal force against the citizens he should be protecting…

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NO KINGS 🇺🇸

Psyched myself out and delayed this one. I did all the one minute intervals at 6 mph. Except the last two. I did those at 6.25 mph. The 2 minute rest intervals were all at 3 mph. Saturday I am going to do four run intervals at 6.25. Reality was easier than expectation.

We remember. 😢 Black Lives Matter!

I am a very empathetic person. I am. But I am also a HUGE advocate for karmic self-inflicted wounds. Fuck him.🖕

Good morning 🌞 Have a safe and grateful Memorial Day

Only stretched two of the rest intervals today. Tomorrow I’m trying for zero…

🤬

Running, week 3: https://micro.wn7ant.me/2025/05/25/running-week.html

I got up late, got started late, I made the run intervals, stretched the recovery intervals… I did almost two miles, a mile above sea level, at 51. I started Monday last week at a mile. I’m almost two miles… “The only easy day was yesterday.” - any Navy Seal

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

Friday was the run from hell. I couldn’t get into a rhythm. Breathing, moving, intervals, nothing played well together. I took yesterday off and redid Fridays run today. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Today was on beat, I could breathe, and was significantly less sore. What a difference a day makes.

My OLED Steam Deck got home a couple hours ago. Upgraded to 2TB. Updated OS. Installed… Doom EVERYTHING! Dark Ages, Eternal, 2016, Doom 3 BFG Edition (which has Doom II and I), Doom64… Next up? Baldur’s Gate, Hell Divers II, Quake everything… And lots and lots of boomer shooters.

Because I was asked… Treadmill Interval training 160 BPM

“The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil." -Mon Mothma

Been a while so starting over: https://micro.wn7ant.me/2025/05/12/been-a-while-so-starting.html

So this happened today…

My getaway vehicle

A film that takes place where you’re from

May the 4th be with you. Please enjoy the soundtrack in the original… disco?

Some of you are subscribed to me because of my interest in mixology. Today, I give you the recipe for a Bourbon Tropic. Shot of Bourbon Shot of Grand Marnier Shot of Heering Shot of fruit juice (rotary keyboard says pineapple, I like sour cherry, lemonade works too). Mix and serv with ice.

Today is a momentous day. I have achieved what 5% of printables.com users have earned… I got my Star of Design 1: Nebula! This means people found my 2 designs useful enough to download them 10 times.

I was talking with a friend today saying, “I remember sitting in history class studying the 60’s and McCarthy’s reign of red scare terror and trying to understand how could anyone think that way? How could people do nothing when the stupid was so damned obvious?” 35 years later this hurts, badly.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

This post is just because. I love Tim Minchin’s comedy. I also love his seriousness… If you’ve never seen it, you need to watch “Storm.”

Today’s printables.com is a blade holder… the designer said my print is “flawless.” Now, if I forget I have my knife on me, I throw away the blade. If someone in TSA is stupid silly after that, fine I’ll throw away the 25 cents in plastic too… “I can reprint it, I have the technology…”

todays printables.com is gridfinity spools. I have the bug and now must spool the solder, some tape, magnet wire, maybe some micro paracord… SPOOL! (It was originally going to be this instead of SPOON! Just sayin')

Needed a break. So instead of HackTheBox… I HackTheBot… In BioShock

Just completed the Introduction to Windows Command Line module on HTB! Learned core commands, PowerShell basics, and system investigation techniques. Came up with a neat little hack that validated my answers before I submitted them… big points for that ;)

Good morning. Got the coffee, and… some WebApps Start the day breaking things… What did you expect?

Hackers hours, cold pizza, the only thing missing was jolt cola… This one took four hours. Using persistence, patience, and methodical thinking — even through a busted instance, obfuscated API, and a surprise REST structure. Real-world CTF energy right there. This is why I do this… even at 50.

Just completed an Introduction to Active Directory course! AD is Microsoft’s directory service that helps manage users, computers, and resources across a network. It’s the backbone of centralized authentication and access control in enterprise environments.
