Celebrating in advance the birthday of this amazing human being by going to the Styx concert this weekend (also REO Speedwagon and Eagles). REO Speedwagon also had some fantastic energy and delivered. Styx was phenomenal, and the best rock concert either of us have ever attended. #styx #kevincronin

Google’s latest AI integrations bind MCP with something’s called Agent to Agent. A2A with MCP means that AI can now interact with other AI agents and learn to use tools without user instruction. Following how our brains work, this is a huge advance forward, and is the beginning of autonomous AI.

One way to find who your representatives are in the U.S. is you use the app 5 calls (five calls). It informs you on pending votes and offers suggested text for calling or emailing your representatives if you want your voice to be heard.

Oh and if you look at the second amendment and the Supreme Court, they specified that those commas need to be interpreted as the Oxford comma, and those are separate distinct parts.

Wolfgang Stone @geekytreehugger.bsky.social · Feb 8

Us law abides by the Oxford comma. It is specified that undocumented that traverse our borders and remain in the US. No other crime is necessary.

Memo from the US Department of Justice 2/5/2025.

This reinstates the federal death penalty. If you read the second paragraph on section 2 (on p. 2), this order institutes the death penalty for undocumented immigrants who remain in the United States.

After 5+ years of being a den leader and cubmaster, I am happy to share the final crafted Arrow of Light awards the cubbies received as part of their bridging over. I am also happy to find a new home of the Pinewood Derby track. #scoutingamerica #cubscouts #bsa

Trump released an executive order declaring that Trump is female. I am guessing the presidents goal is to get into the woman’s restroom?

And to be fair he also declared all Americans to be women in the executive order:

OMG I misread the original post. I read Black Puddling tea. Upon rereading, I do think it sounds great! Confessing my misreading because I thought you would think it funny.

I installed the hanging model railroad bridge to ensure my measurements were correct. I am replacing the rest of the railroad too to match the new color because my wife likes the unstained more. 😀

Note: rail bed wood is the former stained piece… the rest is the new work (about half of what I did).

Crafting the new hanging bridge for my train layout along my ceiling. This time I am reinforcing the red oak with metal floating shelf bracket inserts. You can see a prototype on the bottom of the pic. Brass chain will connect the top brace to the bottom track support. #modelrailroad #woodworking
