Map identifying the approximate regions where various Indigenous groups lived in North America in 1776.

The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...

Made a direct radio contact with Germany on 15m and 10 watts.

So the equivalent of me turning on my desk lamp and a #hamradio operator in Munich seeing it.

Physics is wild.

Is Jira still the right choice for your organization? 🔓

Rising costs, complex licensing, and vendor lock-in push teams to opt out.

Good Morning from chilly New Orleans!

How is it that I never learned this until now?

It is your responsibility to ask the same question.

I'm actually in favor of tribunals for all DHS employees, and restorative justice. But I maybe could settle for abolishing DHS entirely forever.

So yes: abolishing DHS is the moderate position, in my opinion.

Best view I've had in a long time.

It was cold as shit, but I also had the best view a I've had of it at the Spanktuary in years.

I’m down for open borders

I’m also down for extremely low-threshold standards for citizenship

New citizens aren’t going to be any more of a pain than the born ones

I haven't seen it yet, but it's in my queue and am looking forward to it..

Just haven't yet decided if I should watch that or the 2003 Korean movie it's based on, "Save the Green Planet!"

The seahorse boat was beautiful!

Wind gusts up to 40 mph tomorrow in freezing or near freezing temps???

The march in Chicago has continued on past Trump Tower and is turning back south into downtown.

The snow is coming down hard now.

As it does, the column chants, "say it once and say it twice, we do not fuck with ICE"

Truly.

I started watching and very much enjoying Tollywood movies somewhere early during COVID starting with the Baahubali movies and have not taken my foot off the gas. ( this was the clip youtu.be/iToRAfA-V0s )

They were so delightfully mellow and oh so nice to look at.

Also, Krewe da Bhan Gras remain perhaps my favorite (sub-)krewe, hands down ( or waving up in the air ).

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria?

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Hah, I'm 97.8% sure he lives around the corner from me.

Also, Boheme was wonderful tonight!

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

A really helpful guidepost at this moment is simply this:

Live your life in such a manner as to disgust Nick Fuentes.

YouTube video by Allen Toussaint - Topic Cast Your Fate To The Wind

Feels like one of those days where y’all should listen to Allen Toussaint’s version of “Cast Your Fate to the Wind,” in which he imbues an already sublime song with some ineffable New Orleans magic. Truly beautiful and, dare I say it, inspirational?

I have to.
It's the only way I'll make it through.

People are over-reading this. The judge dismissed the *federal* murder charges because his (alleged) actions didn’t fit within federal law. He still faces *state* murder charges because it’s usually a state crime. The feds stepped in because they were mad NY doesn’t have the death penalty.
