There are pistachios in the Windows 11 search bar today. No idea why. Maybe an advertisement before the impending Iran conflict?

where has ripgrep been my whole life? Well, the last 15 years anyway.

Bill Frisell has a new album coming out. The early release song is enchanting, but his show in PDX is already sold out.

I swear I’ve been watching some of the same buildings slowly fall down for over 30 years. Small perk of visiting home.

Imagine having a gout flare up or an ingrown toenail the day of your Olympic skeleton finals.

#almostgoodbot I love this idea, but accurate data would be great. Also, including the date & time of the readings would be helpful since posts simply say "1d" for history.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

My eldest kid told the younger to skip high school AP classes and take dual-credit instead. Maybe hearing it from her sister will work better than hearing it from their dad?

A secret memo allowing federal agents to invade Americans' homes without a warrant would be a historic violation of the Constitution and further justification for the immediate removal of Kristi Noem.

Trump Admin “Deliberately” Tanking Morale to Get Parks Staff to Quit, Official Says in Leaked Tape In a leaked tape, a National Park Service official said Trump’s employee policies are a “reign of terror” aimed at driving NPS staff to quit.

Russell Vought is a villain. Intentionally demoralizing National Park Employees is broken human behavior. theintercept.com/2026/01/21/n...

Venezuela is our Poland.

Maybe I'm missing something, but Cocaine isn't the drug tearing apart communities in the US.

Wow. Is he having a stroke?

After a dozen days out on five different rivers, I finally hooked and brought a winter steelhead to hand while Spey casting on the Nestucca. Now I need figure out how to land them more elegantly.

Jeez - I don't know how much more I can hear about how much or how little protein stuff has.

A ticket for a custom report was submitted in 2018 and still hasn't hade any progress.

What is your oldest feature request? Mine was a request for a custom SIS report that I submitted in 2018. We'll have fully moved to a new ERP by July 2027, so I'm on the verge of canceling this one.

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

Hell Yeah! Slomosa is coming to Portland in April.

I was fortunate enough to see Diego Cara on his 400th start while wearing the sweatshirt my wife bought during the 2013 western conference playoffs against RSL. This time they won. It’s odd how often we see (and defeat) RSL post season.

New York Times: Scott Perry Says Democrats ‘Hate the Military,’ Echoing Trump’s attacks. The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

An incredible career and unbelievable humility. Players like him and Chara don't have flashy stats, but their mark is indelible.

The golden plains of the Snake River plateau are mostly shaded by chaotic clouds and a blue sky. In the distance, there is a herd of bison grazing, and beyond that, the Grand Tetons rise sharply out of the plateau.

The kids might be on to something with the 0.5 zoom thing. Really captures the immenseness of the sky and clouds above the Snake River and Grand Tetons.

A backpacker walks down a trail surrounded by brush and trees turning yellow, gold, and brown with striking granite spires rising in the distance.

During the week-long celebration of my parent's 50th anniversary, we did an overnight backpacking trip into Death Canyon in the Tetons. It was stunning, challenging, and my sister and dad made fun of my "heavy" gear, most of which I acquired while I was in high school.

The obviousness of rolling out the Nazi playbook is astonishing for the lack of recognition it is receiving.

Friends and family. What would your reaction be if someone sent an occupying force to your peaceful community? Because it’s coming for you next.

Brown grass plateau leads to the Blue Teton range rising jaggedly into the expanse of clouds.

Not a great shot, but I was hoping to capture the intensity of the plateau, mountains, and sky.

Setting fire to the Reichstag.
