Those tangled masses of old cables suck. Needing to power some device and not being able to find a compatible cable, while much rarer, sucks a LOT more.
Two. Two boxes.
Bluesky, how big is your box of old cables? If you know you know.

I think Dinosaur Comics is a great way to spend a couple of minutes per week, out of your finite supply of minutes.

I completely concur with this analysis.
It appears that somebody instructed Marco Rubio to go along with the story unfolding and it looks to me that this resulted from the following chain of events. I will lay it out here:

In response to the 28-point Ukraine “plan,” which even to half the top policy makers in DC stinks of Russian authorship so badly that they’re arguing the point in public.
The current mess in DC only signals to Beijing that the US lacks unity, organization, and strategic vision to handle an even larger conflict, as the Pacific region is likely to become. Bombing Iran after Israel's SEAD or running masculine army ads doesn’t compensate for it

Did you know that The Mason of New Orleans is available as an audiobook? Probably not, since I've pretty much never mentioned it to anyone. Anyway, I think the narration rocks, and the book's rating on Goodreads is like 4.9, so if you like audiobooks. . . .

TIL there are two—TWO!—new Dracula movies coming soon. (Both, confusingly, called “Dracula.”) And that they each look pretty awful, in very different ways.

How's this for frankness: Karoline Leavitt is a bootlicking, lying cunt. And I don't use that last word lightly.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Trump’s decision to call a female reporter “Piggy” on Air Force One, claiming the insult reflected the “frankness” that helped him win a second term.
White House defends Trump calling female reporter ‘Piggy’
The president has escalated his attacks on the press amid political blowback for his handling of files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Ukraine’s attacks on Russian territory target military and key industrial sites (oil infrastructure, munitions, war industry). Russia’s skews heavily toward civilians. It’s not collateral or accidental—this apartment bldg was targeted by MULTIPLE ballistic missiles. It’s terrorism and war crimes.
Search and rescue have continued for a full day in Ternopil after a Russian strike on a high-rise. 22 people remain missing; 26 are confirmed dead, including three children. Over 230 rescuers from nine regions are working; some areas searched manually due to heavy damage.

Facebook shows me a lot of posts from my batshit-crazy right-wing senators, along with other “conservative” voices. Occasionally I comment. Today, though, I have a new standard retort to all of those posts, which I’ve been using with abandon: “Quiet, piggy!”

I was gonna post some joke along the lines of forget Alan Tudyk; Mr. Bean is the original TV space alien trying to fit in as a human. Then I realized it’s not just a funny interpretation; he really is.

I recently visited Wisconsin. And a friend came bearing gifts from the UK. And I probably buy more cheese than I ought to generally. Anyway, the upshot is that this is my fridge, not the cheese cooler at the supermarket. . . .

I was an election worker on Tuesday. Here's more good news that didn't make the national headlines.
Context: Only local races. School board, mayor, city council, etc. None of the races were super hot, either—incumbent mayor is popular, Moms for Liberty has stopped targeting our schools, etc.
