I grew up on a farm where we regularly had to fix our own tractors. I also briefly worked for John Deere and watched as they tried to justify why people shouldn't be allowed to do that. Get absolutely fucked Deere, right to repair forever and ever

A great question!

Pynchon's point was always that the roots of the Reagan era were in the moral failures of the counter culture. Or, to coin a phrase, scratch a hippy, find a libertarian.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Okay, look, I wanna say something about this, because I know a lot of people are like "oh look the weird nerds are having a Day" and yes, we are.

But this is not really about 3D printing so much as it is about community.

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission.

The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

How I'm walking out of 2025

I don't want any plastics, and I don't want any ground floors. I want to do what I want to do.

Jesus fucking christ, what's next?

Let them beg.

O, horrible, O, horrible, most horrible!

If we had elected Kamala Harris we wouldn't sit here doom scrolling because the would be no doom to scroll.
Sure you'd be bitching about something else but at least we'd have vaccines, a chance at protecting women's rights, a decent economy, free and fair elections, I could go on...

We know RFK’s a junkie

Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

Juggling tasks this week (and for quite a while) and I was pleased to find out one had already been taken care of. The ball is out of my court! (For now.)

“The fog of war” is only the dust cloud Pete Hegseth leaves as he ducks responsibility for war crimes

'F*** Off And Let People Be': David Tennant Doubles Down On Support For Trans People "People are trying to create division... and it's so f***ing unnecessary."

Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

I just downloaded my Flickr archive because I’m not a paying member these days. It’s an imperfect record of my life from 2005 to 2015. Were we ever so young? There’s the proof.

Brilliant It would be NaNo EMo! (:

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Parents will withhold major health news because they think they still have to protect their now-adult children.

My dad’s cancer got casually mentioned in a conversation about what year something else happened.

Deck ‘Em or Decorum

Miss Piggy was one of my childhood role models.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.
