I've owned my own domain for 29 years. My ICQ number was 4092887. I was user number 18573 on LiveJournal. I once wrote a passionate essay deriding people who thought the Web was the entirety of the Internet. Go away or I shall replace you with a small shell script.

I look forward to her upcoming stellar work as the special envoy for the SHIELD OF THE AMERICAS! I assume that involves a secret lair of some kind.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President Ousts Noem as Homeland Security Secretary

What pushed it over the top for him? Was it her complete lack of qualifications? The $140 million no-bid contract to her assistant? The banging the not-legally-an-employee on the official DHS plane?

I'd say that escalated quickly, but it feels about on par for the current MAGA conservatives. They're, as a group, fucking unhinged.

β€˜Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

Miami-Dade County’s Republican Party started a group chat primarily for conservative students last fall β€” and within three weeks it was filled with racist slurs, someone wrote dozens of ways of violently killing Black people and the chat was renamed after what one member described as 'Nazi heaven.'

Fun Fact: Right-wing servicemembers hate left-wing servicemembers (i.e., any veteran who disagrees with them) more than any pink-haired college kid their fevered brains conjure up. We're not just wrong, we're TRAITORS to them. Sheehy wanted to fully murder this guy the second he opened his mouth.

She's lying, obviously. Unless she'd like to confess to there being so MANY "ICE shooting Americans" events that she can't keep them straight?

Mark Kelly to Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby: "I'm trying to understand whether you believe Iran can be primarily contained by our regional partners, which is what you wrote a few weeks ago, or is it imminent threat to the US as President Trump just told the American people? Can't be both"

Since #Fallout 4 had Lustron houses, maybe Fallout 5 could have Dymaxion houses. Definitely a retro-future look.

2024-2025 Literacy Statistics | National Literacy Institute Literacy Statisitics

"54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level)."

This explains why it's difficult to explain anything to some of our fellow citizens. They don't have the ability to parse sentences longer than five words, complex words, or lengthy paragraphs. #idiocracy

February was pretty decent for #gaming. Inaugurated a new weeknight pub game night, which has been good.

The only acceptable dem platform is "we will do what we failed to do in both Reconstruction and Denazification, brutally punishing everyone responsible and draining the billionaires into destitution to fund the 50 year program of fixing what they destroyed", and dem leadership is incapable of this.

Trump announces 'major combat operations' in Iran Israel and the U.S. have launched strikes against Iran, with explosions reported in Tehran and air raid sirens sounding across Israel.

www.npr.org/2026/02/28/n...

If I'm Russia, I'm thrilled with this move. It takes whatever US attention was left on Ukraine away and puts in on Iran, so they operate with virtually no resistance from us.

It also removes all credibility from America to lecture them about foreign intervention.

Live Updates: U.S. Attacks Iran as Trump Calls for Overthrow of Government

During previous military adventurism, by either US party, I've said something like "hope this goes well, despite it being an awful thing." I continue to wish only the best to our active duty personnel; this is unlikely to end in anything better than the previous status quo.

What a complete waste.

Updating some music playlists, and some of these things I don't recall ever hearing before. "Sunny Day" by Leah Andreone? Somehow it's on the top 91 tracks in 1998 from the inestimable 91X (XTRA). I don't recognize the song, nor the artist's name. Also, there was a band named Fretblanket apparently.

Georgia says Elon Musk’s America PAC violated election law It’s only voter fraud when the other guy does it.

It's hard to believe a tech bro, known for the culture of "move fast and break things" would have led an ill-conceived and illegal plan to help voters vote for the "right people."

Nobody knows why Louisiana would be involved in DoD hospital ships, nor why he thinks Greenland needs medical help. A Danish ship did medevac an American sailor recently, so maybe his brain had "medical, Greenland, I'm sitting next to Landers..." and mixed it at random.
