When the reconning comes, we have to include the oil company execs that encouraged this last hurrah for fossil fuels as well as the politicians that they bought.

81 mg of Aspirin is generally marketed as "Baby Aspirin" despite being primarily used in older people. Perhaps they could get Trump to reduce his dose if they labelled a bottle of it "Big, manly Aspirin?"
5/ he’s taking 4 times the recommended dose of aspirin.

Miller and the MAGA goons can find all the fifth columnists they need by looking in a mirror. Nobody's done more to defile this country than they have.
Miller’s use of “fifth column” refers to a group of people within a country seeking to undermine it from within. It has been used by right-wing groups and governments to attack Muslims and other groups they deem subversive. trib.al/IHPvohx

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.
I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

I haven't used my iPad recently, and went to pull it out, only to find that it seems that the cover, at least, has been providing amusement to Drummer.

Tom Cotton really needs to have someone in his life willing to tell him what a reprehensible ghoul he is, and stage an intervention.

I just want to say I love the call screening feature added to iOS 26. I've had one call answer the questions and be picked up by me, and a couple that answered the questions that I chose do ignore. The vast majority of unknown callers simply hang up without coming to my attention. It's fantastic!

Another gloomy day in the archipelago. They're now saying the current storm will be all rain here with snow staying north and west.

Twenty-five years ago, I regularly baked a good deal of bread from flour I'd freshly milled. Circumstances, equipment, and houses have changed since then, but I still think it's a tasty and nutritious way to go, so now I'm trying to bring it back, this time using a bread machine. First loaf done.

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.
Every single human in the world is the product of migration.
It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.
That’s never going to change.
Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

I like labour rights, and wish the Starbucks union well in their strike, but I can't meaningfully not cross the picket line of a company I rarely patronize, and last visited several years ago.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Cheney's obit opens "At its heart, American conservatism is a fantasy. It's a vision of a world too evil to be saved or cared about, and fearsome enough to justify any and every impulse toward cruelty and violence that a person might have. A world resolutely unworthy of knowing, except as a danger."

This morning, Drummer woke me to speak to the management about why her food dispenser wasn't dispensing breakfast. Right. It's bad enough we have to put up with this DST nonsense, but I see no reason to inflict it on her. I triggered an immediate feed, and set times for other feedings to compensate.

So, Trump's regime is ordering the military to conduct random murders for shits and giggles. The people giving these orders, at least, should be tried for murder.
The Pentagon believes “they do not need to positively identify individuals on the vessel to do the strikes” and that is partly why the administration has not sought to detain or prosecute the survivors of the strikes, “because they could not satisfy the evidentiary burden.” trib.al/nYTqzWK

So, GM has apparently decided that they never want to sell me another car. I'm all for them making great infotainment systems with lots of compelling features that I want to use. But disabling phone projection implies they don't think they can compete.

GM will ditch Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all its cars, not just EVs
GM CEO Mary Barra says Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will no longer be supported even on its gas vehicles as it moves to unify its in-car software platform.

I was extremely disheartened to see @whitehouse.senate.gov and @reed.senate.gov voting to confirm a Trump nominee at this point in things. There is no comity. We need full throated opposition to this despot!
Why the fuck are Democrats confirming this despot's judges. Why are Democrats giving a single fucking inch on anything, while he is waging war on our country?
Be. A. Fucking. Opposition. Party.

Just back from a #NoKings protest in a somewhat small town. I was expecting dozens of other folks. Turns out, there was turn out! It was at least several hundred people, and maybe over a thousand. Lots of creative signs, flags, and camaraderie. I'd recommend finding one if you can.

Cooler temps and a Nor'Easter forecast for the next few days. I just put the beans to make this in soaking solution, so it'll be ready to make tomorrow evening.
We're getting the first signs of fall weather, and while this will be great in the winter, it was still cool enough that this felt indulgent. A nice, warming stew of white beans with seedy bread on the side. Yummy!

It's still been on the warm side, but that's set to change later this week with more typical autumn temps. That cooling will make the leftovers from tonight's red lentil and tofu curry extra warming when I get to them.
