Two white pins with blue text that says I Voted are held up in front of the State of CA website that has Nov 4 special election and Prop 50 info on it.

If you’re a California resident, be sure to vote in the upcoming special election! If you need a little bling to get you motivated, we’ve got you covered with both ready-to-go small pins and solder-it-yourself kits! Kits are 50% off and assembled pins are 25% off. Happy voting!

Thanks to republicans and greedy for profit insurance schemes, my employer sponsors healthcare is going up 18%.. that’s a lot and it’s nothing compared to people with ACA coverage.. great job, you’re really making the wealthy great again…

Like Toy Soldiers *

In times like these, the song Toy Soldier by Eminem hits a little harder.

Ya know, I was trying to pin down why attacking civilian vessels in the Caribbean sounded familiar, then I remembered that a particular 1940s German state did the same thing during WW2

Not sure if we’re keeping her, she’s very sweet and we rescued her from living in a bush being covered by ants and slugs.

With everything going on, I’d like to break up your timeline with a sweet baby named Rune!

As someone who is dealing with high cholesterol, it’s incredibly concerning the moves they’re making in regards to healthy fats and oils.

Unfortunately we’re in a drought here in Utah so I can’t because I won’t be able to feel that rain on my skin

A classic

Still going on if you haven’t had a chance to grab anything

Honestly, if I was sold out of everything I’d consider making even more things. I have some ideas I’m kicking around but need a little motivation to get them off the ground

This sale is still going on, everything is marked down 20% for like the next 3 weeks and longer.

Honestly, it’s pretty lucky that I can draw down my retirement account to cover preventative medical expenses so I can work more years in the capitalism machine. Not sure what I’d do if I could actually retire before I die.

I’m super glad I live in a country where my taxes go to painting border walls and not covering medical expenses acquired from my wife and I doing the very thing they claim they want married people to do, have kids. Hello $450/m for the next year to pay off a $4600 medical collection 🫠

Considering the whole country is a joke, it’s just a part of the role play

DHS speechwriter linked to hateful social accounts ‘They are not migrants. They are not ‘undocumented.’ They are an invading army. The largest invasion in American history,’ DHS speechwriter writes on X

The Independent has identified Eric Lendrum as the DHS PR officer responsible for a relentless flood of social media posts on DHS pages using Nazis memes, slogans and images. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.

Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.

Nothing trickles down to workers.

My pronouns are he/he because my life is a joke. (But seriously, support trans rights because trans rights are human rights).

I like the idea of the TRON universe leaking into the real world and having to deal with the consequences of that. I am uncertain though if Ares would hold water given how hard it is to actually get decent movies made these days.

Dang, and the tron movie looked good too 😕 why can’t people be decent humans and not do reckless and harmful things like hurting women and bombing literal starving children.. I hate this timeline…

Depression is so weird. Some people just doom scroll, some people lay in bed, others emotionally spend on little dopamine treats. Me? My brain says I need to go spend $520 on lumber to build the desk/bookshelf combo I dreamed up for the primary bedroom for my wife and I.

A grey Weimaraner dog sitting on a pedestal wearing a black and green harness.

For those wondering what the goodest boy looked like, here’s one of my favorite pictures I took of him.

This year, I tell ya.. just beating me down. Today I’m saying goodbye to my dog Mumford, my best friend. The first big commitment for my wife and I. I already lost my dog Bella just two months ago. Two in one year, just a gut punch 😣💔

Frustrated with lack of a visual diff for KiCad PCBs in git, I made a simple shell script that does 90% of what I want. Here's a demo of it in action. Now I can "git diff" my PCBs!

A long and slender coffee table with a dark oak top and a green base. Atop the table is a jack-o-lantern pillow with a big smile.

Decided to rebuild a coffee table I made a few years back. I really like the way it came out.

I kind of figured the sponge was for soaking up attention
