Generally don't broadcast nerdy shit, but I'm zhuzhing up my shoulder bag a bit with some with my 1/100 Aerial in a carabiner case and some @dropout.tv enamel pins.
It was already decaled like the bag Amos appropriates from Murtry between S4/5 of the Expanse.
Also Powershell logos just because.

14yo's birthday present again this year is passes to GalaxyCon and a not insignificant amount of money to pay for autographs and such.
Bonus, we're crashing at my folks, and we haven't seen them in person since Easter.
The older the kids get, the harder it is to get up there regularly.

Doesn’t Trump’s blanket pardon cover this guy?
BREAKING on MS NOW:
Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

Every single member of the Trump administration knows that they're getting a blanket pardon signed before noon on 1/20/2029 as long as they are still in his good graces.
The lawlessness really is that simple. The Democrats being shitty is a non-factor in their legal calculus.

What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

I have a massive excel sheet of where everyone currently lives, their new department code, and the targetOU for their move.
Filtering the sheet by TargetOU, sorting the existing location alphabetically, and building a department<->department GPO list.
All manually. Barf.

I would be in jail if this happened to my wife.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

My 18yo would not have (almost) finished HS without IDEA.
His grade school and middle school repeatedly denied accommodations that both his doctor and therapist said were necessary. We reported them to the state and the DoE and finally got a 504 in 9th grade.
We started in 2nd Grade.

50 years after the birth of special education, some fear for its future under Trump
The Trump administration has fired, or tried to fire, many of the federal staff members who manage and enforce federal disability law in schools.

Finished up the RfV Zaku this afternoon. All the little greeblies got hand painted in various metallic colors and then scuffed up, and I used the extra set of HG Gouf Custom decals to give it a more UC-Zaku vibe.
RfV looks like a 15 year old video game cutscene and I just can't get into it.

Today was a nightmare of this stuff. Don't fucking Bean Dad me either, I know he has ADHD and that contributes, but he's also 18 and medicated.
He didn't pull the car in the driveway like he was told multiple times, and it got minorly plowed in plus 4" of snow on it.

I've heard this from my oldest's guidance counselors at both the high school and the vocational school, so it's not just a college level thing.
Kids get everything on the screen. There are no textbooks to read, and their notetaking even at upper HS levels are fill-in-the-blank handouts.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

4" of snow, kids are off school. The view out back is what sold us on the house 20 years ago. There's 5 acres of "have to knock down a house and pave over a watershed" level of inaccessible land.
Almost like being in the woods, in the middle of the suburbs.

I often make this mistake with Filter for devices in Conditional Access... and I bet you are doing it too 🤪
To target unregistered devices, you probably want to do INCLUDE with trustType/isCompliant NotEquals
Go double check your policies ;)

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...
