Rewiring this segment with CAT6 would probably improve throughput, but this’ll do for now…

Finally, I can quit stressing over how laughably unaffordable my health insurance will be next year. I’m flush with cash, this should keep me covered for one, maybe even two hours

Love all these nobody chuds who make their usernames “@realNobodyChud” to emulate Trump. I have no earthly idea who Michael Solakiewicz is but I don’t imagine he has a bunch of impostors taking his username on social media.

An “unspecified public figure,” uh huh, sure. What a colossal waste of energy; the “Ai” bubble can’t burst soon enough.
Google search results for “Cankle Caligula,” which I was hoping I’d been witty enough to have coined, but many others have beaten me to it. The actual search results are full of Trump mentions, yet Google’s “ai” summary claims it’s a “derogatory nickname used in some political commentary to refer to an unspecified public figure”

Huh. When did they close the Arby’s in Cordova? Now I need new dinner plans.
What used to be Arby’s on Germantown Parkway near Dexter in Memphis, TN. It’s out of business.

I really dislike the "it's always DNS" trope because frequently it's something else, but Kroger's shit was fucked all day and it was definitely DNS. I think they have it loosely functional now, though there are so many nested CNAMEs the dnsviz graph resembles a late '90s Slashdot page-widening post.
Current dnsviz graph for cdnws.softcoin.com. There are so many CNAMEs pointing at one another in this incestuous mess that it reminds me of the "my family tree doesn't branch" joke.

#FrogsTogetherStrong
An illustration from the Frog & Toad book series by Arnold Lobel features Frog jumping for joy while Toad looks on, smiling. Text has been added which says: "Don't worry, Frog. I'll join you at No Kings Memphis at Poplar & Highland on Saturday at 11 am and bring supplies for The Immigrant Pantry", said Toad Frog jumped for joy. He was going to stand up to fascist fucks with his very best friend in the world. It was going to be a Saturday to remember.

I know it’s a bit of a pointless exercise now, but: what would we call this if it was any other country? We’re much farther along the authoritarian path than people seem to realize — or care.

A billboard for Buc-Ee’s truck stop. It said “I assure you, we’re open” but someone has spray painted it to say “I assure you, Trump r-pes children.” A MAGA hat has been painted onto the Buc-Ee mascot.

The “every time you masturbate, god kills a kitten” meme, from the dark ages when the internet was fun and still decentralized and America had a dumbass Republican presidential but not a fascist Republican president. A kitten is jumping through a grassy meadow and someone has photoshopped two Japanese cartoon characters that look like little screaming meatloaves into the scene, as if they were chasing the kitten.

Thanks to everyone who marched, played drums, sang, and especially to our speakers! We rallied to the Chamber of Commerce, where we heard from a variety of activists, then returned to I Am A Man Plaza adjacent to the historic Clayborn Temple.
