A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I gave up worrying about what my neighbors must think I’m up to long ago. But it involves a 7m+ pole and a Meshcore radio stuck to the end of it at night.

I’m five episodes into watching Landman and it’s a good show and all… but when does he get his powers? What kind of superhero show is this anyway?

When I walk my dog on wooded trails, I’m expected to bag up his 💩 and pack it out with me.

I went to a local mesh coordination meeting today, expecting just like 6 or 7 other weird techie men with a niche hobby.
About 50 people showed up representing a BROAD cross-section of our population, professions, and interests.
We all decided we're going to build out a MeshCore deployment.

Claude Cowork is not off to an auspicious start yet.
It can't find enabled connectors for simple things like reading my calendar. Or I'll upload a PDF with my prompt and it'll say "I notice the file hasn't been uploaded to my working directory yet."

For the most part the smart home stuff at CES 2026 seems like a bit of a nothing burger. Yeah, Matter adoption is picking up. That's good. IKEA gets high marks for making smart home tech accessible to people of working class means.
But it seems like 2025 was another soft year for innovation.

Slashdot suggests Americans have given up their love of pizza.
I don't think that's true.
Papa John's & Dominos enshittified American pizza. Mom & Pop shops stopped offering delivery. Good pizza became inconvenient.

When did “cyber” become shorthand for “cybersecurity“?
Because it has another meaning entirely that makes this conflation hilarious.

I never really found my “home” in ham radio. I tend to feel too much pressure from Elmers to adopt their favorite activities. Or my hearing loss disability conflicts with people not slowing down and speaking clearly on the radio.
Maybe it’s just not for me.

Three times this morning on my way to the pharmacy (riding a bicycle) I had cars flying up into the crosswalk to make a right turn when they had a red light. and I was in the crosswalk crossing.
Stop BEFORE the crosswalk, dingus! not on top of it!

I’m still watching the old Outer Limits series.
If 1963 television is to be believed, all women are highly prone to screaming and then fainting any time they witness something unexpected. like fainting goats.
