No Idea

A quick espresso after yardwork is a nice afternoon pick me up.

Seems like we’ve got a leak or low water pressure in our sprinkler line. Something to troubleshoot. But not today.

Get a grip.

Every time. Without fail. When I do yardwork. I forget to take a before picture.

Here’s the after. More accurately the middle. Still lots to do.

I know nothing about Lucian K. Truscott IV. Their substack piece was reposted and came into my RSS feed reader.

I read the piece and I think it’s worth sharing. It is … alot.

Normal has left the United States government. Normal has left the United States news media.

Does anything matter anymore?

“The situation was very quickly approaching the point of no return and the United States found it intolerable, in my opinion, based on what Steve, and Jared and Pete and others were telling me.”
The President just admitted, on camera, that the decision to launch a military operation that has now killed eight Americans, over a thousand Iranians, and 168 people at a girls’ school was made because his son-in-law, his personal envoy, and a former Fox News host told him it was necessary.

The United States is a banana republic now.

What. The. Fuck.

The sitting United States President said this in “chronological order” yesterday:

the US is in a long, deadly conflict with Iran the US has already won its conflict with Iran it’s not his fault that the US attacked Iran the US is continuing to attack and be attacked by Iran the US will never relent in its attacks on Iran the US is both at war and not at war with Iran the war with Iran will get twenty times more intense

This can’t be real life.

The MacBook Neo is a slap in the face to people who want to run MacOS on iPad Pro hardware.

You want to run MacOS on the same M series chip in MacBooks? No. You cannot because you have an iPad. You want to run MacOS on the same A series chip in an iPhone? Yes. You can because you have a MacBook.

Successful repetitions build competence. Failed repetitions build resilience

Excellent reminder from James Clear last week that repetition is good.

There’s always a tweet.

This you?

The Department of Defense is calling these strikes “Operation Epic Fury.”

What in the 12 year old naming scheme is going on in the United States of America?

Donald Trump did what Donald Trump said Barak Obama would do before Obama’s second term.

Donald Trump has started a war with Iran because his poll numbers are low.

What. The. Fuck.

From the Guardian.

Seems legit.

Thankful for the few hours I spent weeding the front yard this afternoon. It was nice to get active and outside. Now, it is time to start on dinner. I’m thinking a pasta dish and bread for tonight.

I’d rather be camping.

Leaning.

Finished reading: Triptych by Karin Slaughter 📚

Similar to the show. And yet different. Engaging story, decent characters, looking forward to see where the series goes.

All I see from the outside looking in is the the media coverage of the protests. The media coverage doesn’t talk about the daily activities and overall presence of ICE.

Reading this, Dara, inside the economic blockade sickens me to my core.

I fear for the future of our nation.
