As a former bookstore owner whose location is now a nail salon, in a neighborhood where book shops have become gyms and who knows what else: add me to Jeer Club.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Here’s a palate cleanser! BRB, going to pick up citrus and some crunchy veg.

May every fools’ gold excrescence with his name be blotted out.

When your wannabe god-emperor is really just an old guy yelling about tariffs.

That’s some shade.

Brilliant nomadic adaptation!

@deprong.bsky.social Idea for CERT or other community resilience?

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card."

The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."

I said there was a Dr. Manhattan comic in that… and I'm a person of my word.

Damn skippy. Signed, a Californian.

I love this so very much. A longtime friend of mine passed last year and I frequently talk to her husband, and this sentiment reminds me of him.

Or, as noted below, “Swiss Army Barbie.”

Lots of shade for those who are good at none of the skills. Being -good- at them all is evidently beyond heroic.

There’s an Urdu name for a “Jack of all trades” that translates to “every talent Lord.” A Korean version is “eight direction beauty.” But my favourite name for someone who tries their hand at lots of different things is the Lithuanian Barbė devyndarbė. It means “Barbie nine jobs”

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).

This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else.

Extra good on you getting the shingles vaccine! It kicked my butt (twice) but I was grateful to get it, being of the age where I had had chickenpox as a kid.

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I’m glad to have been there once not too long ago. Thanks for the reminder to go back!
