Someone's been filming what I'm assuming is a TV show in the old abandoned industrial park down the street from my house. It's only bugging me because that parking lot is where I practice low speed motorcycle maneuvers.

Executive Order 14230, entitled “Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP,” violates the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and is therefore null and void"

NPR's statement in response to Trump's executive order:

"This is not about balancing the federal budget. The appropriation for public broadcasting, including NPR and PBS, represents less than 0.0001% of the federal budget."

I walked up to the vet clinic to pick up a sampler pack of prescription cat food. I need to figure out where I should buy such a thing once I figure out which type he will like.

So much of the destruction in the USA is away from the spotlight at grass roots level. But the foundations of a modern society are being smashed. The National Science Foundation has just stopped awarding new grants and funding existing ones. That effectively means that work on all existing NSF grants has to stop immediately. Universities are telling researchers to stop spending on those grants right away. That's jobs and progress and opportunity just being eradicated.

In some meetings, you wear a red band around your arm, in others, you bring your red basecap.

@sirber Yeah, pretty much.

u have been warned

@sirber They came up with the Pinebook Pro and later with a conversion kit for turning your Pinebook into a Pinebook Pro but they sell the hardware at cost (for some reason) and they only do production runs when the cost of the materials is below a certain threshold. Once the Trump tariffs kicked in, they just declared that they're not going to be selling to the United States anymore because it wouldn't make any sense.

I really want to get out on the motorcycle this weekend. It's been back from winter storage for a few weeks, now. It is supposed to be raining and in the '30s this weekend, though.

@tewha What app are you using for that?

@sirber I have a Pinebook (https://pine64.org/devices/pinebook/) that is probably pretty comparable. Mine's been relegated to terminal duty, though. (It can’t handle playing youtube videos)
