*the NYC mayoral election
The NYC mayoral primaries will be a litmus test for the future of the Democratic party. If Cuomo wins, then it will be proof nothing will change in 2026 and 2028.

Some of the creativity that went on in our house this week. My wife painted the awesome Derpy face for our son's costume. I got a stuffed pigeon, reflective yellow tape, and some card stock and turned it into Sussie.

Hmmm. Not too happy about having to upgrade my desktop PC to Win11. It doesn't have TPM 2.0, but I just learned it does have AMD's FTPM.
My laptop has Win11, so navigating its nonsense isn't an issue. It's the fact that I have to do a whole OS upgrade and reconfigure all the settings.

Disney bringing Kimmel back is not enough for me to renew my subscription again. Trust has been breached and the only way to earn it back is for Disney to actively and publicly lobby against Trump, especially in regards to everywhere First Amendment rights is being attacked.
Fight back, cowards.
Fight back, cowards.

I'm on the fence with Alien Earth. I already have some gripes, but it's decent enough to keep me going. The premise is better than I expected, and I like the characters so far.
There's already a few eye roll moments though. Also why so many zoom shots?
It definitely has potential to tighten up.

Testing the movement for the Shark Cranial Kinesis model. Think this is pretty close?
Shark/marine/anatomy people, I'd love your feedback! Intended for outreach for "general public". In the final version the parts will each be a different color.

We saw Superman today. It was great, but flawed. Generally its spectacle contains its weakest moments. I'm under the impression James Gunn needs to be reigned in somehow. That being said, I still really enjoyed it.
