Get off social media and do literally anything else.

Still socialist. Still buddhist. #YNWA he/him

I post mostly about #LFC, music, and U.S. politics, and that last one only because our politicians are shit.

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

Life is complicated, & I didn't want Guehi anyway so who cares, but kind of a dick move by Glasner to scuttle the move for the CB to Liverpool only to leave Palace himself the next year. 😕 (I'm sure it was more than Glasner but he was the face of the scrapped deal on the CP side. Maybe that's why?)

Good choices from Sachin!

I was on a music podcast for a few years and we did an episode where we ranked our favorite live albums, too! overcast.fm/+AAqIS6ppQBI

I donate every year, and this year more than I have before. If you use Wikipedia, I encourage you to kick down sometime as well. They even helpfully put up fundraising banners from time to time. 😄 Next time you see one, just send 'em some money!
Today, @wikipedia.org turns 25 years old. It's never been more important — or under more attack from authoritarians. Here's what to know about how we got here, and what we can do to push for its future. There's no better example of the web we make together. www.anildash.com/2026/01/15/w...

You can extinguish tear gas canisters!

Wearing gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.

Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.

I love this song. So not indicative of the overall Prefab Sprout song, but very in my wheelhouse.

Um…I passed? 👀😮😄🥳🎉🎉🎉
Ok, CISSP exam scheduled for the morning of the 15th. If I'm not around much until then (except for LFC matches), it's because I'm studying! 😂

ICE, who should be tied directly to the republican party you’re theoretically trying to beat, is tear-gassing children and dogs for fun

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

The more I see that "Whiskey Fridays" CBS thing, and especially now with the Jack Daniel's distancing from it, it seems like a fake story designed to find a leaker.

Don't get me wrong, Weiss & Co. are stupid enough to do it, but it just doesn't feel "real" at this point.

Just saw another post that sparked this memory that I don't think I said anything about:

I'm not a prude, but I don't think that with a screen on the back of every seat, that movies like The Departed should be available for viewing in an airline's in-flight entertainment.

Musk heard "Whitey on the Moon" and thought it was aspirational. 😐
"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.

"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

Trump: if you do not do what I want, I will send ICE agents to your town to kill you

Democrats: NOT BEFORE PROPERLY TRAINING THEM FIRST!

Footy like football/futbol not American football. 😂
Looking for some Android users who are willing to be part of the closed testing phase for a football-first social media app

The app aims to enable chat with fellow fans, playful rivalry with fans of other teams, and gets away from all the noise with other apps.

Shoot me a DM if interested

Thanks

Trump also said "Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document" and I think that when he hears his staff talking about getting Greenland for it's "elements," he hears "general things" and not "natural resources and raw materials." Because he's a simpleton.
It’s January 13, 2026 and Trump still thinks “asylum” as used in relation to immigration process means “mental institution”. No one has ever corrected him.

Jonathan Ross was a firearms trainer and led a team that included multiple federal agencies. All this training didn't stop him from shooting Renee Nicole Good. His training *facilitated* the shooting.

No amount of training will solve the problem that ICE is a violent ethnic cleansing squad.
Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained."

This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
