Haven't been by in many a year now -- wondering if LEDs are killing off neon?

Anti-Zionists, particularly those in the region, have been pointing out for yrs that the entity's expansionism was a danger to everyone else in the (steadily expanding) area. Now, surely, the invasions of Syria & Lebanon, Gaza-like destruction of S Leb & wars of aggression on Iran make that clear?

Neon aficionados?

I was working hard to guess what solar blackboard radiation was, gave up, and then decided it was auto-"correct" changing 'solar background radiation'. Now I see I have to admit I know nothing & learn about blackbodies

Hundreds of well-resourced and in many cases well-positioned people

Blowing up the Trumphal arch will be a highlight. Not a substitute for any other reversals, but inexpensive, straightforward messaging and entertainment.

It's as if you could feel the Palantir manifesto coming. The other real bigfoots in the daily digital dystopia may need to become characters (scruffy Karp & glistening Thiel & ?Reid Hoffman ?Ellison)

So glad you're back safely!

Gonna forgive the guy for not being willing to choose between Testaments; that's apparently the trend in evangelical purportedly Christian congregations. One in my neighborhood advertises itself as "Mosaic" (!)

Have a safe trip & excellent adventure!

I love the idea of the crouching photographer ooching into the spot where the blockhead image is available

I blame the Arab Spring; I'd been finding less & less happening in my blog rounds, then while caught up in the uprising in real time, found all the blog people I'd been missing were there.

Wondering now what kind of rotation the kiosk ads are on (i.e., whether it'd be worth waiting, camera at the ready, for the ad to come back around). [My mental model is from ads on hockey boards, which were in rotations of just 3-5. But that was 15+ yrs ago, w/very different ad/audience matchup.]

Contractor for the Trumphal Arch should re-enact the Stonehenge bit from Spinal Tap & produce one the size of the model Trump was waving around at the announcement. Worth it for the lulz & free media.

Hello, George.

Your narrow, elegant strategic rearguard

Virginians: call Gov. at 804-786-2211, leave message to SIGN S.B. 783 TODAY! Virginia General Assembly legislative time is limited & valuable; don't waste it by pocket vetoing this needed law! End localities' contracting with ICE.

Update: This bill still sits on the desk of Governor Spanberger.

The deadline for her to take action one way or the other is this MONDAY evening.

Studying the drop zone _intently_

Ooh, are you all camping?

INEXORABLE AND INEVITABLE OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR POPEHAT

Neither can the aircraft carriers, no matter what this guy "orders". They haven't been close to Iran since the first week of the war they launched.

Was going to comment "You're living on the edge!", but I see now you're too experienced for that.

Likewise the complete lack of supplies & household items for evacuated 5th Fleet sailors? Norfolk/Newport News charities stretched thin for the unexpected influx. (Also, those personnel are "home" for the duration. Unlikely Bahrain HQ will be rebuilt.)

For years I read VA had more data centers than other states, but now I think if that's still true it must be per capita, because TX, CA, & NY have many more (unsurprisingly).

Gaaaahh. It's already been 90F here, last week during a steamy spell of apparently Gulf air.

We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

It's a bluff that once deployed, can't be successfully repeated. No one (or at least many, _many_ fewer) will believe it. The threat was issued to conceal a big defeat. It didn't work, the defeat's now visible, and things are better for good. No matter what he says.
Spiraling may intensify tho...

I *love* your audience in masks

This terrifying piece made me think instantly of you.
Hope you're surviving this steamy heat: real spring is coming! There's a baby southetn magnolia for you here if you make it over the mountains anytime this year. Happy Easter and best wishes.
