It was the best of times and the worst of times. I think you guys down under are having the best of times - it’s still the worst here and getting worserer. But the midterms should be a rout! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Umm - that can’t be real can it?!? Onion or some such?

I still can't believe people are getting snapped up and sent to foreign torture prisons without due process. I still can't believe people are still using the word "deported." I still can't believe elected representatives have gone on record that it's also okay to do this to US citizens. WTAF.

Exactly!

The fight is world wide. As Gandalf said, “ We meet at the turn of the tide!”.

Outstanding!!

That’s just nuts! I don’t understand how any person can look at Trump and not be repulsed.

Omg! He’s not gonna win is he?

For sure Chips,ppl can see Trumpism is a load of selfish negative bullshit. We vote on Saturday and the Conservative Opposition Leader has been using a Trump like election campaign. He actually sought someone from the Trump camp to learn the ropes. Ian

Maybe ppl are starting to fight back!

Oh they were def playing. From our nosebleed seats the stage was tiny, but there were cameras on the band and that fit in with some pretty incredible 360 fully immersive videos.

Lost huh? Did they check the couch cushions?

Holiday: We saw the Eagles at a place called “The Sphere”. Amazing venue. Huge ball - lit up with cool videos on outside but OMFG inside you are immersed in a different world. They play hi res videos of songs while band plays on stage. It’s quite an experience! www.vegas.com/shows/variet...

Bright side: I have bunch of 3 & 4 th graders excited about making circuits and robots and computers and such. I’ll take them as far as I can. Ran an internship at the high school over summer - they got paid to work on projects and learn. We’ve sent a bunch to tech school!

Yeah - one way to fight poverty here is to give these kids a chance and a vision of what they could be. Frustration is: 24 miles from here there’s Gov lab. More millionaires per acre there than f$&king Silicon Valley. Shameful.

Wow! So Pluto causes autism?!?

@xskinn.bsky.social … need to finish out year with some positive stuff so they continue next year. Otherwise a lot of them will be fry cooks at McDonalds.

@xskinn.bsky.social Hey Ian - been out of it for while. Had big vacation to Vegas (more later) & been engaging w/ local school to steer kids to good careers in tech. This area in NM has a lot of poverty - these schools are Tier 1 - poverty schools. I’m trying to bring them tech possibilities.

Pretty clear: if you get pissed off the only thing to do is scatter all of the Monopoly pieces and throw the board across the room.

Hmm - I’m good old ‘Merica so I assume New Zealand is near Old Zealand. Like: we have a nearby road “Old Dinosaur Trail” which is right next to “New Dinosaur Trail” aka interstate highway 25. QEFD!!

Smokey? Or no?

Yep - stopped right before we got to the string bean casserole.

You’re good dad!

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

I guessed that was the case. What do y’all say to flat earthers??

Hmm - I recall leaving Twitter when Musk became total jerk. Thought everybody would end up on Mastodon but not so. Anyway we’re finally here on the beautiful clear Blue Sky!

Thanks! Glad to meet y’all. Y’all upside down and on wrong side of road. Not sure how you do it.😂

I was counting on that asteroid but didn’t pan out. Maybe an alien invasion like “War of the Worlds”.

Omg! Forgot about Thunderbox! Have to get back to that!!

Cool! He looks great. Tell him to sit back from TV or he’ll ruin his eyes 😂 ( that’s what they told me when I was kid lol)
