Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college.

+ Black Experience in Film
+ Judaism and Anti-Judaism in the New Testament
+ Tap Dance
+ Directing

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW."

(Also, in case you were wondering, FUCK ICE)

Star Trek Enterprise scene. It's an image of the White House in Washington, DC. Four long and tall Nazi banners in bright red are draped across the front and a Nazi flag on a flagpole flies above the building. A tank is stationed on the front lawn. No caption. RIP Renee Good. RIP Alex Pretti. Fuck ICE.

What to Do If ICE Shows Up: Know Your Rights Here are five guidelines for how to respond if US federal immigration agents stop, approach you, or knock at your door.

Know your rights if ICE show up.

Lots of talk about how ICE, DHS etc. are monitoring social media, so we need to "watch out".

So in response to that, here's the murderer in Minneapolis today. Share if you can to help identify him.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Captain Sisko sits in quarters (bedroom, not spare change) on a couch behind a coffee table. There's some psychedelic blue and purple pillows on the couch, in an otherwise very dimly lit room. He's holding his hands up as if he's animatedly speaking and has the look of a man listening to smooth jazz and reeeaaallly vibing. Closed caption reads, "Computer, what day is it?"

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. The Enterprise D gang is in Ten Forward standing around a beautifully decorated banquet table adorned with exotic flowers and lots of food. Seems like a fancy party is happening, I'm guessing some light chitter chatter is in the background, dishes and flatware tinkling and clanking, maybe some nice soft harpy music, but this is a picture so it's tough to say. Ok, back to the story, so Captain Picard is carving a large round turkey. Bev Crusher, Geordi, Data, and a very very tall Klingon, all in uniform, stand and observe. Closed caption reads, "I shall try some of your burned, replicated bird meat." πŸ¦ƒ

Finally made it out to my favorite trail for the first time moving back to Colorado back in January. Even made it to the top in spite of not being in as good of shape as I used to be.

Selfie of me with my "I voted" sticker.

Had a rather small ballot in my neck of the woods - but still had a person notice my sticker and thank me for voting just on my way walking to the brewery. I love living in Denver!

Please turn off your #Ring cameras so that kids/families just trying to participate in #Halloween don't get caught up by ICE. Ring has partnered with them, so we know how this is going to turn out.

Also, please consider removing Ring entirely or AT LEAST turn on the e2e encryption.

For folks in Colorado looking to get the latest COVID-19 vaxx, I was able to score mine (and the flu shot) at Safeway this morning without a prescription OR naming a pre-existing condition. It seems @colorado.gov's public health order is getting through the system. πŸ’ͺ Stay safe out there.

Can you file a complaint with the FCC for a CAN-SPAM violation? (I'm a little rusty with the ins and outs on how unsubscribes work with political mailing lists these days.)

Someone I'm close to just got a company-wide email *this morning* that essentially read like a hiring/raise/promotion freeze. I'm preparing for a repeat of 2008.

No one knows exactly what was on the Venezuelan boat that was struck by the US military, but the fact that the strike was okayed by the president’s son suggests that there was no cocaine aboard.

Also, when engaging in resistance using a sandwich, do not take any bites from it first, because DNA. And remember that your condiments can be used against you in a court of law.

Also, the last 72 hours have really solidified the "if you ain't where you are, you're no place" state of mind. For the, like, two of you who might get the reference - kudos. ✌️

One of the many reasons I love my neighborhood brewery is that at any given time there are at least two folks 'WFH' on laptops and 3+ dogs... because that's just the way we roll in Denver.
