I never did an intro post, so here goes:
I am a software engineer by trade living in Silicon Valley. I tend to post about:
Geekery
Cats
Videogames
Movies
Music
The wonders of nature
Political nonsense
Absurdity in other forms

Regal is doing Halloween movies, so Noelle and I went to see Army of Darkness on the big screen. I had forgotten how much I enjoy that film.

I started today at the Panamanian Day Parade Breakfast in Brooklyn.

Panama is El Puente Del Mundo—the bridge of the world—and I know how Panamanians have had to fight for every bit of freedom.

When I'm Mayor, Little Panama will finally get the recognition it deserves.

They say the only things certain in life are death and taxes.

But America’s billionaires, having taken care of the latter, are now trying to disrupt the former—and make sure nobody can pry their fortunes from their cold dead hands.
These billionaires want to disrupt death—and keep their fortunes forever

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News. A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.
