Retired principal engineer. Who is quite willing to bore you with how communication systems work. And old computer history, at least the parts I was involved in.

Here to read what some of my favorite authors write.

Thread. 🧵 (1/x)

On the superiority of water as the primary decontaminant for tear gas and peppery spray on skin and eyes.

To make it clear to people, this is a thread. Some of you are not clear on the concept. I will reply this with another post and mark it with a number in (x). And so forth. (1)

It would be great if the top two stories about the executive branch were not a huge multinational child rape coverup and the establishment of a gulag of concentration camps

That was a real wedding during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. His reps confirmed the happy couple are irl in love. And yet, conservatives still said the show was an affront to American values.

Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer:
1) boasts about the poor place he’s from;
2) boosts the value of agriculture;
3) celebrates small town life;
4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and
5) promotes marriage.

And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.

For some strange reason I just bought a couple of Bad Bunny albums.

No idea why. /s

Traditionally I invade someone during the Olympics. This current invasion is going so well it started right after the last winter Olympics ended and hasn't stopped since.

I remain a master strategist.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I AM IN THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES

Specifically, my essay "Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting" is referenced in a 2013 Rachel Sklar article about Muriel Siebert. Why is it in the Epstein files at all? You got me.

What a wild fucking discovery. I am literally agog.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

Years ago (before Epstein, before the GFC, etc) I used to jokingly talk about my pet conspiracy theory, that the world was ruled by the P7: the Pale Patriarchal Plutocratic Protestant Penis-People of Power.

Turns out I was right.

I didn't want to be right …

Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray.

No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye.

Thank me later,

This is a key point
Human infants learn how to breathe through their mouths between three and six months of age. We aren't born with the ability. For a baby younger than one year, a stuffed nose can become a medical emergency.

Chemical irritants are not just irritants when used on babies.

Hypothermia is deadly. Don’t give hypothermia to someone exposed to tear gas. This Edgecrusher dude is a good follow
Practice on yourself! You might notice I'm actually squeezing water into my eye here. If it's running down your shirt, you're doing it wrong.

Decontaminating people without giving them hypothermia, and without our nozzles freezing, has been a logistical challenge.

There's this cool dude named Dan who likes to warn people about not touching active riot munitions. Dan gets into lots of arguments with people who insist he doesn't know what he's talking about. I filmed this for Dan. Dan is correct. They're hot as fuck. CC @dankaszeta.bsky.social

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.
