I try to be aware of the wider world. But this morning, I saw something about celebrating API month. I thought, "Why are we celebrating Application Programming Interface month?" Instead, it meant Asia Pacific Islander month. I obviously need to get out from behind a keyboard more often.

What they said.

A reminder of the importance of communication.

Ahsoka concept art by Brian Matyas

My wife teaches social work at the university level. In his first reign, she called him this. I only had a layman's understanding of the word. So she got out the DSM, and we "counted" how it applied to him. I suggested putting his picture with the definition in the DSM.

"Next time I see you, I'm gonna need a long makeout sesh. 10 minute hug, and for me to mark you in places only my eyes can see."

When I saw this, I thought my wife is lucky she's in a meeting.

US goverment seeks to rehire recently fired nuclear workers It is having problems contacting people who were fired in Trump's blitz to shrink the federal workforce.

There’s nothing scary about this. I mean deflating government excesses (if you believe that kind of thing) is just like popping a balloon, right?

I hope I will never need your help in this way. But I’m thrilled to know you and the other SAR folx are out there.

So very cool.

I stopped doing public events in the early 2000’s because of what I was seeing. Sadly I’ve not been shown that I made a mistake.

DC area snow this evening. Between this and fighting a cold I might just take tomorrow off. People in this area suffer from dehydrated stupid. #snow, #dcsnow

I love Rogue One and all the concept art we got from it. I would also love to see more media like it and Twilight Company. #starwars, #rogueone

My “favorite” is people assume that because I’m deaf/hard of hearing that I know sign language.

And remember die is also god in Latin. To me it sounds like they want to do away with god as well.

I guess this is another era of “when America was great.”

Sigourney Weaver was “delighted” to join the Star Wars franchise but says Grogu was the whole reason she signed on for The Mandalorian & Grogu: “He's a little badass” Sigourney Weaver says “little Grogu” is the whole reason she joined the Star Wars franchise

As if we needed another reason to think Sigourney Weaver was awesome.

Looks like a great plan to me.

I need to do this.

Made by the Lucasfilm documentary team and companion to the action-adventure Red Tails, Double Victory: The Tuskegee Airmen at War is a feature-length documentary that tells the full story of the Tuskegee Airmen’s experiences during World War II & is FREE to watch on YouTube (🔗 below 👇)

Apple and Microsoft have also said they are not doing away with their DEI programs.

But cancel it because a small but vocal group of people on the internet whine because it’s too “woke”. I hope they at least finish the story they were telling in books or some other media.

They were already on my shit list because of their flipping on LGBTQIA+ support. So this won’t be super hard. Though they are more convenient than other similar stores.

I too shall be calling them this now.

Great observation.

What the doctor orders.

One of my all-time favorite videos.

I hope you see or hear that Leonard Peltier has had his sentence commuted. It’s long overdue.

I first learned about Leonard 30 some odd years ago. Nothing in the case against him made sense. I’m glad he’s finally able to walk free. It’s LONG overdue.

Casa Brumar has used our house as a staging area for candidate canvassing. WONDERFUL people.
