I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I don't just blame ICE for the death of that woman in Minneapolis. I blame all the miserable motherfuckers who voted for Trump 3 times. They're all guilty for her death, and every other foreign and domestic death caused by this administration's ghouls.

This season of Stranger Things is OK in my book. I hated all the Russia plots from the past 2 seasons, so I guess this season is feeling like an upgrade.
Even if no one checks on that poor family still in the farm, I'm enjoying the ride for what it is.

*the NYC mayoral election
The NYC mayoral primaries will be a litmus test for the future of the Democratic party. If Cuomo wins, then it will be proof nothing will change in 2026 and 2028.

Some of the creativity that went on in our house this week. My wife painted the awesome Derpy face for our son's costume. I got a stuffed pigeon, reflective yellow tape, and some card stock and turned it into Sussie.

Hmmm. Not too happy about having to upgrade my desktop PC to Win11. It doesn't have TPM 2.0, but I just learned it does have AMD's FTPM.
My laptop has Win11, so navigating its nonsense isn't an issue. It's the fact that I have to do a whole OS upgrade and reconfigure all the settings.

Disney bringing Kimmel back is not enough for me to renew my subscription again. Trust has been breached and the only way to earn it back is for Disney to actively and publicly lobby against Trump, especially in regards to everywhere First Amendment rights is being attacked.
Fight back, cowards.

I'm on the fence with Alien Earth. I already have some gripes, but it's decent enough to keep me going. The premise is better than I expected, and I like the characters so far.
There's already a few eye roll moments though. Also why so many zoom shots?
It definitely has potential to tighten up.

Shark/marine/anatomy people, I'd love your feedback! Intended for outreach for "general public". In the final version the parts will each be a different color.
