I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

The racism section of this speech is stomach-churning. #SOTU

Chrome will now "autobrowse" and take action for you.

And it just took a quiz on my behalf in Canvas after a little coaxing.

Crazy that the Walking Circus Peanut let this wockaflocka sing to him in a foreign language in the middle of the Oval Office. It's almost like Bad Bunny is treated differently for some reason. Can't imagine what that reason might be and whatnot.

In case it's any consolation, this post prompted me to grab my office key (from the non-standard location I placed it at the end of last week) before leaving for the college this morning.

Gemini-produced accessibility training script.

Gemini-produced accessibility training script.

After sitting through four hours of accessibility training today (in which I learned nothing new), the presenters uploaded their script, which had been generated by Gemini. Unsurprisingly, many of their answers to various problems were to "use Gemini."

This is such a win for Seattle (and movie people everywhere). We’re lucky to have Scarecrow!

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life.

But 5 minutes later….

It would happen no matter what. The US President is basically a Roomba. When he runs into opposition he turns and starts devouring in another direction. Sooner or later he always circles back, though.

I turned on a VPN out of the UK and it went away. Not the most elegant solution.

Just experienced this for the first time today on desktop Gmail, and then discovered that if I turn on a VPN through the UK it goes away.

Every once in a while I remember that when Vic Mackey from β€œThe Shield” (2002-08) has nowhere left to turn β€” when he has murdered other cops in cold blood and is guilty of extortion and stealing millions in drug money and the walls are closing in β€” he escapes punishment by getting a job with ICE.
