When the Giant Lizards Attack: Business Continuity and Disaster Recove... A grounded guide to business continuity and disaster recovery that focuses on real operational failures, recovery tradeoffs, and survivability under pressure.

I do a lot of corporate writing. Every now and then I gotta be me, and sometimes I get away with it.

This client let me go on about kaijus, the zombie apocalypse, and the Lord Humungus in a blog about disaster recovery. My lowbrow b-movie obsessions.

Today we go before a judge to take the first steps in defending our foster-daughter. She's been with us since she was a baby. In the eyes of the law, we are non-persons, since foster parents have zero rights. We're looking to change that situation.

Gonna be a day.

The Women Holding Minneapolis Together In Minnesota, a community is coming together to push back against ICE and support their neighbors. It should surprise no one that much of this work is being led by women. Glamour reports from the fron...

This article is fantastic AND those of us who’ve been organizing since early December are oh-so-very tired.

Time for the second wave of folks to jump in and take on more so we can rest a bit.

If you have capacity, plug in with whatever’s happening in your neighborhood.

In ICE’s War, the Public Is Winning Feds stockpile 35,000 munitions in Minneapolis - but suddenly withdraw

[B]y mid-January, the feds had amassed some 35,000 weapons in Minneapolis. [...]

“Fucking overkill,” a homeland security official said of the inventory. “I’ve never seen this amount of shit being used.”

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

Our county is planning to remove our foster daughter, who came to us when she was seven months and is now almost seven years old. Her bio-fam situation is objectively dangerous. The county does not care.

Please consider helping with her defense.

Same trajectory from another penile-American. I used to fancy myself a "moderate" along several lines, now I feel moderation is for dupes and stooges.

Folks said "you'll get more conservative as you get older!" Me, older:

Photo of Elmo with quote from Antonio Gramsci: "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters."

Or as I tell my kids, when they ask me, "It's easier to destroy than to create, so there must be more decent people than bad. If psychopaths were a majority, we wouldn't have a civilization."

"These agents, and the president who sent them, are no one’s heroes, no one’s saviors—just men with guns who have to hide their faces to shoot a mom in the face, and a nurse in the back."

"No application of armed violence can make the men with guns as heroic as the people who choose to stand in their path with empty hands in defense of their neighbors."

"Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority."

"Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it."

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once."

US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them An internal review of the US Border Patrol raises serious questions about the agency’s use-of-force policy.

Misogyny is a hell of a drug.

At this rate he's never going to win the Kwik Trip™ Peace Prize.

Two questions, and I don't really want the answer to either:

(1) Is she still alive?

(2) Is she still being paid to write this drivel?

Dear Ms. Dowd:

I BEEN LIED TO ALL THESE YEARS! You sent me scurrying down a rabbit hole, for which I thank you.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
