Ms. Abughazaleh is running for Congress. I'm waiting for every Democrat in the House and Senate to say this very thing. And even just one goddamned Republican.
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Allow me to connect some dots for you:

Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.

Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

Trump finally got the war he’s been wanting, after repeated failed attempts to start one in Portland or Chicago.

Here we go again. :(

2025 was rough, but it was also the year my wife and I bought acres of absolute perfection in a pretty rural and magical part of Washington state.

We’ve been hard at work on the home here since last April and it’s coming along nicely. I haven’t even had a chance to properly explore our bog.

@grubb.wtf I’ve been roaming around the house in Carhartt long johns like these for some time now and I highly recommend them. Whatever you do, go with 100% cotton because we deserve nice things.

I meant to send you this recommendation weeks ago when you mentioned the topic on a stream.

Who the fuck cares what James Cameron is going on about this week?

Also, I’m the idiot following IGN.

Elon Musk promised a lot of things by 2025

- colonists arriving on Mars
- xAI achieving AGI
- Tesla robotaxis serving half the U.S.
- completely driverless robotaxis
- a Tesla Roadster demo
- DOGE cutting trillions

none of them happened

Everything Elon Musk promised in 2025, but didn't deliver
Musk is now infamous for his false promises, but even this is excessive.

BIG new batch of images sent back by Perseverance! Took some work, and my laptop struggled, but what a wonderful view... Look at those beautiful dust dunes, sculpted by Mars' icy winds...

As they say, "Welcome to my world..." ;-)

My wife (my wife) mentioned she’s still hoping to get a Grinch related tattoo at some point. I said “Jim Carrey Grinch and I’ll divorce you so fast.”

There is one true Grinch and his name is not Jim.

It’s been a pretty wild past week here in western Washington. I just spent some time on top of our chicken coop that’s still under construction.

Wake up at 2 am and check the cameras to find one of the 30’ x 20’ tarps I’ve got covering the area has blown completely off to one side of the run.

Sorry all. Didn’t really I was interrupting another active shooter situation. I’m sure things will clear up and be just fine very soon.

If only Tim could put out an album I was a tenth as interested in as ANY album or EP from Trent…

I’ll probably delete this soon. I shouldn’t use the internet to hurt people. Especially people I actually care about.

A 12 amp hour DeWalt battery lasts 40 minutes on their cordless heat gun set on high. I even shut it off before it stopped cranking out hot air. Damn impressive.

Speaking of domain registration, I’m currently sitting on a pretty healthy arsenal of domain names.

My decision for a new handle came down to two of my favorites.

Do I proclaim my undying love for Nine Inch Nails or Tim Heidecker?

Thank you Tim.
December 14, 2025 at 1:58 PM
Updated my handle. I’m less and less interested in being 100% transparent into the my past 25+ years posting under the previous name. Considering the U.S. has quite literally turned into the enemy of people.

Thank goodness they’re no possible way I could be tracked down via domain registration.

If you haven’t watched any of Pluribus, I’d highly recommend it. I’ll post nothing about the show aside from mentioning the fact that there’s a John Cena bit that you’ll absolute love.

This comes from a guy that’s never seen 10 minutes of wrestling of any kind. He’s a wrestler, right? So good.

One of the neat things about being a Type 1 Diabetic™ of 2025 is getting to see realtime glucose readings.

Straight ahead across the laptop menu bar, to my left in bright colors on the watch screen on my wrist, and to my right on my phone screen that’s also constantly displaying my current health.

The media is entirely responsible for Donald Trump in our lives and Elon Musk as well. Real engineers and scientists knew he was a moron long ago. I was told repeatedly by my brother and his nerds at JPL that Elon was a dolt. But tech press don't know shit either and access is the name of the game.
