I honestly miss twitter before it became a fascist bar (I think i followed you there too).

I don’t have many heros. If I had to pick a living hero it would be Martin Sheen.

Tonight’s movie is one of my favorites: β€œThe Way” with Martin Sheen. I dream of the chance to make the pilgrimage and I have for 34 years, since I first learned about it.

Pope Leo XIV Sends His Best Diplomat to America Archbishop Gabriele Caccia β€” the Vatican's veteran envoy to Duterte's Philippines and the United Nations β€” is now headed to Washington at the most turbulent moment in modern Vatican-U.S. relations.

When Rodrigo Duterte was waging war against his own population in the Philippines, Pope Francis sent one of its most experienced diplomats to Manila.

That diplomat was Archbishop Gabriele Caccia.

Now Pope Leo XIV has chosen him to be the papal envoy to the United States.

I don’t know, but if all the previous oil shocks didn’t kill them I don’t have high hopes now either.

This is where I’m glad we have a 10 gallon tank on our car and fill it about every 3 months on average.

What I first saw when we were still in Florida, after COVID, wasn't just ignoring stop signs but ignoring red lights and all other traffic laws alltogether. Lately (the last 6 months or so) I even see it here on the North Side of Chicago. It's insane.

Geezus fuck. Fuck Newsom. Can we at least look at Pritzker if we want a governor of a blue state? At least he seems to care about all his constituents.

I've completely fucked up a lot of shitty things in my life, but no nazi tattoos because you're exactly right.

Most WordPress events are plastered with sponsorships from Webhosting companies. An upcoming event that is focused on WooCommerce doesn't have any webhosting sponsors. If you're interested in being the premier sponsor for this event, get in touch with me.

I just can't repost, here or elsewhere, the horrors in the world. Sorry... my posts would change the mind of exactly no one. That said, my heart aches for those who deserve more from life.

This is all I'll say *here* on it.

The number of times I have to defend not being a democrat on any of these is insane yet this all is the perfect encapsulation of all of it for 30 years. Fuck them all.

I’m very close to this age (was 13 in 91) and had a similar thought this morning. The US has been starting illegal wars in the Middle East for my entire life.

On the positive side for today, our friend got us good tickets for the Chicago Fire home opener. I think she's trying to freeze my wife, but we'll have fun either way.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

β€œif you won’t let us use your product to spy on Americans and kill without supervision we will single-handedly destroy your business by fiat” is the single most authoritarian anti-business action I can ever remember any administration taking

Guess who didn't say no to fully autonomous weapons and spying on Americans. His name rhymes with Damn Salt Can.

BREAKING: Israel has preemptively bombed Iran in a joint attack with USA.

This is illegal. Trump has 0 authority to wage war. It violates US Constitution & UN Charter. Iran says it will retaliate.

Impeach & prosecute Trump & end this criminal’s reign of terror. Further delay invites nuclear war.

Statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Anthropic's response to the Secretary of War and advice for customers

www.anthropic.com/news/stateme... for the company that also wants to put all white collar civilians out of work, this is one hell of a statement.

I’ve seen a number of conversations by tech folks who seem to think they’re going to be immune from any negative AI effects as if their savings and investments aren’t going to crash and burn with everything else.

I normally like busy days because they make the work day go faster.

Today is both busy and horribly slow (HOW IS IT NOT 5PM ALREADY)?!?!

I do not like these days.
