The DNS entries--all of them--for nga.mil have disappeared from the root servers. This is the government's mapping agency. I hope it's an error, but it feels like the "error" of cutting off cancer funding.

U.S. Postal Service Halts Parcel Service from China as Trump’s Trade Curbs Begin The United States has been importing about 3 million parcels a day with almost no customs inspection and no duties collected.

Someone found a big stick on the Prairie Path

@punzunltd.bsky.social spent all day at day care before going to pub quiz. This is one groggy doggy

Someone enjoys her two-handed belly rubs.

Happy Christmas!

Happy girl at Horner Park

Cassie once again reminds me I don't post enough photos of her. It's becoming a theme

I really need to post more dog pics. Cassie is judging me.

Why make one bowl of chicken soup when it's easier to make 14?

Hayes is no longer a foster. She decided not to return him to the shelter. He's definitely a keeper.

It hasn't been this cold in Chicago since February 17th. And tonight will be the coldest since January 21st. Happy Last Day of Autumn!

(Oh, also, there's a dog photo.)

Spent part of the morning with Hayes. As a favor to his foster mom, I tuckered him out.

The UK Home Office approved my ETA application in less than 30 seconds. So if you've visited the UK recently, especially if you once had Registered Traveler status, it's totally painless.

Until the administration actually does something as achingly stupid as violating our treaties with Canada and Mexico, just ignore him. He's a 12-year-old boy trying to shock his teachers. Treat him as such.

Pilot Project Brewing is stop #117 on the Brews & Choos Project, and I would go back:

They're conducting an experiment: what is the smallest absolute delta between all their games against all their opponents and still lose every game? I'm impressed so far

The Biden-Harris admin capped credit card late fees.

A Trump-appointed judge blocked it.

The Biden-Harris admin banned noncompete clauses.

A Trump-appointed judge blocked it.

The Biden-Harris admin changed OT pay rules to include more workers.

Guess what happened next?

"Matt Gaetz is a private citizen. Congress should not investigate a private citizen."

"It doesn't matter that Hunter Biden is a private citizen. The American people deserve to know. Congress needs to investigate to the fullest extent possible."

Two common genii of trees found on almost every street in my Chicago neighborhood have refused to let go of their leaves, forcing the city to extend street sweeping an extra week:

Just verified this account, so it's now @braverman.org. Cassie got the @punzunltd.bsky.social handle. Follow her for dog photos and me for everything else

Sorry, I'm in full "Messiah" mode until the 22nd

Arise? Say unto the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!"?

I guess Pam Bondi is an improvement over Gaetz, but will she rise to the ethical standards of John Mitchell or Ed Meese?

Of course my first BlueSky post will have a photo of Cassie.
