Wanna get angry? Ask your Alexa device something like, “Alexa, has Donald Trump been convicted of 34 felonies?” and see what happens.

Fuck Bezos. Fuck billionaires. Fuck Trump.

This is actually from Ireland, but yeah, you’re right about a lot of shipments.

This annoys the crap out of me. Don't tell me you have "shipped" my order, if this is what I get when I click on the tracking number. This isn't "shipped". This is "preparing to ship".

I’m not sure what I did to please algorithm daddy, but FB has been showing me TONS of clips of the great Rodney Dangerfield’s appearances on Carson. Those men are two of my favorite entertainers ever.

What is it with concerts lately? This is the third show I’ve been to this month with ugly, overpriced t-shirts. What happened to the super cool concert shirts we used to get?

I’ve been on a Bruce Springsteen odyssey over the last week, going all the way back to the start of his catalog. I’d never heard this song before, but I’ve now listened to it at least 15 times. Beautifully sad storytelling.

Sawyer and I have started taking our evening constitutional at 8:00, instead of 4:00, because it is _soooo_ much more pleasant out. Tonight, I can't tell you how much weed smoke I smelled at various places around the neighborhood. 🤣

Ha! Maybe someday. But not today. 🤣

I’m taking Morse Code lessons, and just finished up for tonight. Here you can see my fancy new red Putikeeg straight key, my practice oscillator, and my WWII-era J-38 straight key. It’s fun, but I suspect it’s going to take a while to get it internalized.

It must be miserable being so absolutely terrified of everyone around you that you have to take a fucking gun to the grocery store.

I was at Kroger yesterday, and this older man walked past, with an adorable dog riding in the cart. I was just about to ask him about the dog, when I noticed the old geezer had a pistol on his hip.

Just under two weeks ago, I passed the amateur radio Technician exam. During lunch today, I passed the General exam. 🙌🏻 Now, to actually start using my radio.

And I'm starting Morse Code lessons this week, too. 🙌🏻

Can you imagine the republican response if Biden or Obama had openly ignored federal courts, and then defied a Supreme Court decision? They would have filed impeachment papers before they went home that day. Worthless fuckers.

Two nights ago, I passed my technician exam, and this morning, I have been dubbed KR4DDH by the FCC.

Now, I'm studying for the general exam, and should be ready for that in maybe another two weeks.

I don't have a radio yet, but that will happen directly. I wish Radio Shack still existed. 😞

Several years ago, I bought a few books about amateur (ham) radio, with the intention of getting a license. But I never did much with it.

Two weeks ago, my friend posted that she'd just passed her technician exam, so I decided to finally go for it.

I am utterly embarrassed to be an American.

Critics warn Trump’s latest order 'should concern you more than any so far' President Donald Trump’s latest eyebrow-raising executive order triggered alarms throughout social media over the startling tone for American jurisprudence the action is ushering in.Users across socia...

But tell me again how he's not a goddamned fascist dictator. Go ahead, maga. I fucking dare you.

BOOOOO!!!!!!! mypethealth.com limits passwords to EIGHT characters, and NO SYMBOLS. That would be fine, if this were 1986, but it's bullshit in 2025.

2. As I was putting the groceries away, I dropped the carton, and all six splattered on the floor. Not one was saved. 🤬

Two things about eggs, since I bought a six-pack of eggs today.

1. Didn't God-Emperor Trump promise us that eggs would be vastly cheaper under his watchful eye? I mean, that's what I kept hearing during the campaign.

You know, I never even wondered what it would feel like to absolutely despise 70 million people, but here we are. Those bastards either voted for evil, or evil just wasn't a deal-breaker for them. Elon and Trump are doing irreparable damage to our country.

Sleepy black chihuahua.

Sleepy Sawyer last night.

But when he finally realized we were back in our yard, he bolted for the door.

that the sun is 91 million miles away, but we can still feel its heat. Once I got to the first cul-de-sac, I put him down and just let him sniff around, and explore. I gently encouraged him back towards the house, and he complied, though reluctantly, and in spurts.

I took our pup Sawyer for his first real walk yesterday. He’s still not sure about walking on the leash, and he didn’t want to leave our yard. So I carried him down the street, pointing out interesting things, and explaining how interesting it is...

My dog in a cute little shirt with his enormous ears.

Look at his little shirt and his huge ears!!!!

My seeet dog with his giant ears extended.

Sawyer, after his name was called.

Yeah, he’s definitely settling in.

An adorable black chihuahua.

An adorable black chihuahua, snoozing.

Our newest family member: Sawyer. We got him from the Humane Society just this morning.
