It’s trash day. I feel bad for the guys who have to ride on the back of the truck, hanging on to a handle. No restraint system. If the driver stopped too fast, they’d launch.

Plus, today it’s 14 degrees Fahrenheit outside. The wind chill hitting those dudes in the face must be brutal.

I hope the pay is worth it. Stay warm

Our local trash collection company has a robotic arm on their trucks, and one day I came home to only one bin, not two. We gave a small one for trash and a bigger one for single stream recycling - ha ha trash - and the robot sometimes chucks the bin and all. I called and they said a new bin would be $50, a muffled sound and then “Actually zero, your driver told us the robot ate it. A new one will be dropped off tomorrow.” LOL.







Not sure what the attraction is, but Riley wants to be this close lately. Maybe it’s the eau de fish tacos. 🌮

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court

More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to serve as their own attorneys in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.

Als ik tot 06.00u slaap is dat een feestje. En meer dan 4 uur aaneengesloten slapen is een zeldzaamheid.


The Russians are still successfully circumventing EU sanctions on their information warfare weapons. Disguised as the voices of the "underrepresented" Global South, clandestine Russian propaganda outlets continue to influence young audiences desperate for alternatives to mainstream media.

I’m always amused when movies set in the present day have a scene with a crowd of press photographers and use the whirring of 35mm film motor drives as a sound effect.

for a long while the special sound effect to show a computer was responding was the clack-it-clack of a teletype.
and to show a computer was working was to show 9-track IBM tape drives spinning back and forth.

I just finished a non-fiction book that described someone listening to a "transistor radio" in Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.

The people of Gaza spend their nights in suffocating darkness… no electricity, no generators, no streetlights, not even a glimmer of light inside their destroyed homes. Homes reduced to rubble… desolate streets where only the moans of the wounded and the sound of the wind amidst the ruins can be heard. Children sleep in the cold, and families take shelter under pieces of cement or tattered tents that offer no protection from the wind or their fear.

A nighttime view of a small, makeshift shelter illuminated by a fire. The shelter appears to be constructed with tarps and other materials, creating a small enclosed space. A fire burns brightly within the shelter, casting a warm glow on the occupants, who are seated around it. The background features a densely packed urban landscape with numerous buildings and lights, suggesting a city or town. The scene is dark overall, with the fire being the primary source of illumination.

In the lower left corner, the text "sind.ps" is visible, and in the lower right corner, the text "مدينة غزة" is present.

Resolution for 2024 was to develop my art skills. Done. 2025's resolution was to earn money from my art, so I finally opened Ko-fi and Patreon tip jars with downloads to make that happen. I have just 3 wks to make my goal. Even a $1 tip counts.
