Just very fresh.

So the US went to war with Iran without consulting the country that’s been shooting down Iranian drones for years, or the country that’s redefined modern war. Do they have a real Not Invented Here problem? I hope Ukraine makes them pay dearly for hauling their asses out of the fire.

Would you believe I'm currently fixing a Y2K bug? I'm importing mailbox files from my old server into a new Mailman 3 server. But starting in January 2000, several people's mailers started putting a Date header with the year as "100". I suspect it was Eurdora.

Begging the question: Is this an insane sale for President's Day, or is it a sale for an Insane President?

The only thing consistent about Unix command line apps is how inconsistent their arguments are.

Plus I guess Hugo Boss isn’t doing military uniforms any more.

If you're going to call ICE "law enforcement", can we at least get them to wear uniforms instead of this mosh-mash of TEMU military cos-play shit?

I’m going to give him my gold medal and make him the best orienteer in Ontario in 1980.

If I handed my gold medal to Donald Trump, would that mean he’s the fastest over 60 paddler at the United States Canoe Association’s national championships a few years ago?

My wife has my contact in her phone as β€œICE” for β€œIn Case of Emergency”. Which lead to a moment of panic when I used FindMy to find her in the grocery store, and she got a popup on her phone saying β€œICE is searching for you”.

Greenland should rename itself to β€œEpstein Files” so that Trump won’t touch them.

When the Dems are back in power, they should pass a law that you can’t name a building after a living person, and give trump 48 hours to either remove his name or die.

I expected this of Schumer but not her.

Can a decent set of New Yorkers rid us of our pathetic, immoral Senators? I will vote for anyone with a pulse and just a bit of decency to see @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social removed from office. These two are a stain on our politics.

Too bad that reporter isn’t on his family signal channel any more.

Well, he could release the Epstein files. We’d stop fixating on all the horrible things he’s done as president so we could focus on the utterly vile things he did before.

I think Ottawa is Canadian Sheid or Canadian Shield adjacent, so the warmth is too far down.

I’m an idiot. That’s Soudal T-Rex, not Trek.

Is that the neutral service car? Not the usual dull Shimano blue. First thing I noticed was it said β€œTrek” on the side but the bikes are S-Works. But then I noticed a couple of other logos and names. #vuelta
