I had said they should just do a No Confidence end-run around the Speaker and just get it done, turns out it's not just Pageantry. Turns out, that's also why AZ is now suing the Speaker directly.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

This tells me he lack the discernment and tact needed to perform at this level and should never have been awarded that Rank, and/or his proficiencies have declined (like all of ours will someday) that again he need not hold such authority.

I haven't touched Linux since my Tech College days in 2003.

Twenty Years later, the windows zeitgeist is becoming insufferable and this old-sailor is looking for a stable solution for my Studio.

Time to get Learning!

Picture it! the year is 1996,
and we are descending into hell. If you switch grimoires on your way down you control the music.

This album makes my heart soar, and the minions of hell, QUAKE.

Remember where you came from.

Win 11 is a big-ol-grab of Corpo power.

I'll go to Linux first.

In the meantime, you still have options.

Software as a Service is toxic, and takes Agency from the end-user.

1.376 years from now, when The Bubble bursts and I'm starving, I'll still have a bunch of "I told you so" on my lips.

As far as you know, this is The AI Bubble.

Not all "CHANGE" is a net-positive.

But I don't need an Oracle to know that. ;)

America is greedy, slow, and inefficient at manufacturing for Hobbies. Then again, who needs another chit, benni, or mini?

Why doesn’t Cards Against Humanity print its game in the US? It’s complicated.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

SO! What do you like? What do you jive with, what are you so interested in that you'd invest attention to see it finished?

That's a good way to SUPPORT me. Lets keep things warm and PLAY!

Some of this stuff I might-not have included if it didn't show off some of my process and how i often will go from a desperately captured sketch to. . . MORE!

No only is no one going to diligently go through your files when you are dead,

but it can be fun to see all your work in one place as a testament to what you're into and how (if) you're growing.
