It was the worst of times, it was the even worse of times.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.

Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

OpenAI and Oracle reportedly abandon TX Stargate expansion : Meta supposidly considering untapped capacity in deal brokered by Nvidia

@edzitron.com You've said that companies scaling back datacenter construction would be a Big Bad Sign. Is this it? www.theregister.com/2026/03/07/o...

Why would anyone write a 117-word long prompt to an “AI” when they could just launch Filelight and get the answer?

Trump statue holding Bitcoin appears in US Capitol | CNN Politics A 12-foot golden statue of President Donald Trump was put on display on 3rd street, just outside the US Capitol. The temporary statue was unveiled just hours before the Federal Reserve’s interest rate...

Deuteronomy 9:16 "When I looked, I saw that you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves a golden idol... You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you."

I'm glad that the developers of #ZFS made it easy to replace a faulted disk with a fresh one, without data loss or downtime. In a few hours, this should switch from DEGRADED back to ONLINE.

The Hammer Films “Dracula” series with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing is also a kind of horror version of “Blackadder".

Update: this session’s school library book ban bill- SB 13 - has been added to the calendar for Monday. 😩

Keep calling your reps to urge them to run out the clock on this horrible bill.

Nice

All I can hear is the wind through the Yankees’ many WS championship trophies. 😉

Is your work available in big ordering systems like Baker & Taylor? I'd love to add your stuff to my library's collection.

I quite liked it, too. Did it make you want to watch "The Larry Sanders Show" or "Fernwood Tonight", too?

I have to introduce you to my old friend Keevs, who does art like this too

The problem I have with putting effort into almost any social media platform anymore is that the cycle of #enshittification will follow every single one. It’s free now because it’s trying to get me so hooked that when it sucks later, it’s hard to leave
