KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

Watching Death by Lightning on Netflix, and Garfield's speech for Sherman?

Fuck me.

I know it's edited and staged, but still. Fuck. Me.

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody.

Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (www.mibfc.org).

And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

Oath Keepers & similar groups simply don't have the same membership as the Freikorps and such, but this is still a troubling development. I think Rhodes' mostly in it for the grift - but he could also be looking for redemption.
New:

On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers

He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."

This was in the pizza place across the street from my high school for _forever_.
Gauntlet, the four-player arcade game, is 40 years old. Its release saw it showing up in arcades in the later part of 1985, but when it showed up at your local arcade, you knew it. Long lines, big crowds, and a lot of fun, it ate most of my quarters for months.

I fail to see how this isn't a massive First Amendment violation.
2 Nov 2025 -- Trump DOE releases rule denying student loan forgiveness to those working at LGBTQ+ groups, stating intent is to penalized organizations which support "...performing prohibited medical procedures that attempt to transition children...” @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Trump administration changes rules to exclude LGBTQ+ org workers from loan forgiveness program - LGBTQ Nation
Advocates say the new policy is intended to "make life more difficult for those who Donald Trump dislikes."

yeah, nearly all of the opposition that we saw to No Kings was Gen-X or late Boomer.
Colossal L for gen x in the breakdown by age lol
But it's also weird they ask people if No Kings was violent, like it was a matter of opinion rather than fact that it wasn't. It's true some people think the earth is flat; it's not true that it might be flat as a result of those opinions.

Also Culloden (1964), an extraordinary historical recreation done on a shoestring budget with a tiny cast which demonstrated the possibilities of the documentary form and had enough confidence in its audience not to dumb down the material. www.reddit.com/r/Documentar...

Today is the 7th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Synagogue massacre, where 11 Jews were killed for their congregation's support of immigrant rights.

I look at what Jews from the synagogue are doing to honor their dead & stand up for immigrants' rights.

The shooter, Richard Bowers, said that he targeted the organization for their support of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS). The shooter accused local Jews of bringing in the caravan.
