Distraction Free Writing On social media, they relentlessly try to sell me a β€œdistraction-free” writing machine. I of course see these ads on the writing machine I already own. In fact, I own several writing machines of...

Thank you for this. Well timed as I have a bunch of process documentation i need to write, and I've been putting off at work.

Had an awesome weekend at VCF Southwest! Got to meet @adriansdigitalbasement.com , clabretro, the 8bit guy, arcadecomoonents, and Usagi Electric (only in passing.) Getting to talk soldering and careers with Mr Black was great!

Sometimes you gotta break out the classics. Hearing @lisalisejam-ortiz.bsky.social as Lina Inverse is comforting. Here's to the first vhs of The Slayers.

I have left work. Sadly my brain has chosen to stay there.

Shut up brain.

How quickly ICE gave into this. No reports of management pushing back on Trumps orders or people being let go because they wouldn't infringe on civil liberties.

Looking at incoming vessels to the Port of Los Angeles (America's largest container port):

1.) This week we're still in frontrunning mode (57%+ YoY).

2.) Next week we're basically at normal (-8% YoY).

3.) Two weeks from now we're in The Bad Place (-44% YoY)

β€œA couple days later, on March 6, I was working from home at around 11:30 when I got a notice that my VPN had gone down,” he says. β€œI didn’t think much about it. It can cut out from time to time. About 10 minutes later, I got a knock at the door.”

Two men were outside Jackson’s door, dressed in slacks and polos. They were not wearing badges.

β€œI first thought they were going to try to sell me something. But as soon as I opened the door they said, β€˜Are you Clayton Jackson?’ I think I shook my head or said β€˜yeah,’ and then I heard, β€˜We have information that you are obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation.’”

Jackson says alarms went off in his head. β€œMy first instinct was to want to know what this was about. That it must be a misunderstanding. So I started to tell them about how I’ve been involved in some pro bono work. Then this voice in my head kicked in and just said, you need to shut the fuck up β€” don’t say anything.”

The officers never identified themselves. They did ask if they could come inside.

β€œI said absolutely not,” Jackson says. β€œI asked for their names and badge numbers. They said they didn’t have to provide that information at this time. So I told them I’d be calling my lawyer and I shut the door behind me.”

Jackson says his mind started racing. β€œI needed to know who they were, what agency they were with. Then I remembered that I have the Ring camera. Maybe I could watch the video of the incident and figure out who they were from that.”

There was no video. β€œThat’s when I learned why my VPN had gone down. It wasn’t the VPN. Someone had shut off my Wifi.”

About 15 minutes after the interaction at his front door, Jackson’s Wifi was up and running again.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids.

Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

Agreed! And for those wanting more Mage Knight related gameplay, check out Paladin's Oath on Steam. Great re-implementation of the game.

Transmetropolitan still speaks to me after first reading it in the late 00s. Much thanks to Woodchuck loaning it to me.

Random anime today - Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars (2001) - Wonderfully paced, seems to have more in common with 90s era anime rather than it's 00s it was produced in.

If you enjoyed Nichijou at all (anime or manga) this series will likely be right up your alley.

Got a new android phone. Spent about fifteen minutes transferring my apps and settings from my old android phone. Spent about two hours googling how to turn off all the assistants / 'ai' tools.

One of the games in my collection that I'm having trouble teaching to people. Can't wait for the expansion content to see how that changes things.
