I can’t tell if that means the show if good, or if it means the show is amazing.

Too slow a cadence for some applications. 😳

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Christ on a cracker — these seemingly hostile drones only missed Zelensky’s plane because he was unexpectedly early www.thejournal.ie/drones-dubli...

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

potus as commander in chief is responsible. kegseth is too. But do not for a second imagine potus is not fully on the hook. potus said, publicly, they were going to kill people. potus said nothing about using evidence nor law to do so.

So stop ignoring his culpability. kegseth has it too.

Pete Hegseth suffers from the Fog of Dewar's.

The sheer power of #imagination...seeing an #acting #coaching client breathe life into an #audition #role, where I really feel like I'm seeing just part of the character's life, ironically because they're totally present, was really good to witness. I think they'll have a good time #auditioning.

Sonnet 098 - XCVIII
From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April, dress'd in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing,
That heavy Saturn laughed and leapt with him.
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue,
Could […]

Sonnet 049 - XLIX
Against that time, if ever that time come,
When I shall see thee frown on my defects,
When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum,
Called to that audit by advis'd respects;
Against that time when thou shalt strangely pass,
And scarcely greet me with that sun, thine eye,
When love […]

No violence but state violence.

Here ice drags US citizen from car, brutalizes, and are way beyond their jurisdiction.

Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) § 236(a) (8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)) established ice authorized arrest & detaining aliens pending removal proceedings, not US citizens, who are […]

Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. No. 107-296), 8 C.F.R. § 287.5 restricts ICE’s arrest authority to those suspected of being removable.

Case law Zadvydas v. Davis & INS v. Delgado plus 4th Amendment & habeas corpus say it’s not legal.

Morbid thought: potus & kegseth want a war w/Venezuela partly to get lithium that is in Venezuela.

You know where else there’s lithium? In potus & kegseth. Each has between 2mg & 7mg of lithium in their bodies.

Like some communist nightmare they use it willy nilly internally. Shall we stop them?

Today, I designed, built & launched a small application within strict financial, security, hardware & software constraints.

I helped people w/all levels of tech skill, & different configurations, get it running.

Feels good to have it in the world helping people.

You just made my morning. And yes, buttons and motors at least!

David coming in with absolute gold, but I just want to add that maybe it's time to update our guillotines to at least the 20th century.

I'm not talking being able to control it via a phone app and Wi-Fi, but maybe an electric motor and pushbutton?

NYT says it's suing DoD because the Pentagon infringed on the constitutional rights of its journalists by imposing a set of new restrictions on reporting about the military. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/bu...

Allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. What did the village idiot think would happen? We may never be the same trading partner with the world ever again. Our dollar may never recover from devaluation. We must clean house to show the world we have fixed this travesty of justice.

Often one of the most supportive things someone can do for a CPTSD survivor is patiently sit w/ them as they take their time finding their words through the haze of dissociation & internal "noise," staying open & gently attentive, not pressuring the conversation forward.

Mark Warner, the top Dem on the Senate Intelligence Committee, says he reviewed the DOD IG's Signalgate report and Pete Hegseth either needs to be fired or resign.
