I decided months ago to really shore up our emergency fund. I’ve been recommending the same to friends, family, and strangers. Saving is hard, it can feel impossible, but even $10 a month is better than zero. Cheeto Prez is lighting his matches.
RIP Marianne Faithful
Learning basic baião patterns on the kit.
Content or trigger warning: photosensitive folks should not watch. My lights started flickering during recording and flashes throughout the video. Apologies for that.
Marketplace has been my go to news show since 2006 and here’s host, Kai Ryssdal, answering why they didn’t pause their regular programming to respond to everything Trump has done, and I love his answer.
Had mine since April, 2010. It doesn’t turn on anymore, on my list of to-dos to try and revive it.
Yeah, a resolution condemning things Trump does, that’s going to make him pause and reflect. Keep on winning, Dems.

A small hike yesterday to close off a highly bizarre week.
Netflix sent me notice about my rate increasing. While I could absorb the cost (and normally didn’t pay attention to the increases in the past) I decided on a whim to just cancel my account. They are clearly baller because there was no attempt to retain me (member since 2009), just good luck and thanks for the great years. 😂
When tech critics fail to ask why good services turn bad, that failure is just as severe as the failure to ask why people stay when the services rot.
I’m in Kansas City helping out a relative recover from a health issue. My wife sent me this awesome video of the kiddo trying his ice skates for the first time.
Also a Cymbals wiki.
Regardless of what happens to Tik Tok, a large number of people are taking a well deserved detox from the platform today.

The web would be better off if browsers had never added support for scripting. The web would be much faster; much better for its original purpose of delivering content to consume, not software to interact with; and much more secure and private.
One reason why I support NPR: their html-only version of their news site. I wish more sites did this.
Immigrants drive Nebraska’s economy. Trump’s mass deportations pledge is a threat
The town I live in has two primary employers: Tyson beef packing and a Walmart Supercenter. Trump (unsurprisingly) got north of 70% of the votes in the area.
Last January, the state’s economic chamber released a report saying Nebraska had no choice but to welcome immigrants to “address the workforce gap.”
Nebraska might need immigrants, but it also voted overwhelmingly for President-elect Donald Trump, who has threatened to carry out mass deportations of people living in the U.S. illegally.
RIP David Lynch. I hope that he, every day, once a day, gave himself a present. Like Agent Cooper said.
I’m visiting a relative who is battling a health issue. She has cable tv, which I haven’t watched or had access to in 20 years and there it is: a commercial with Tony Hawk peddling a supplement to combat the side effects of statins he is on.
It has been an Anthrax kind of day.
Monday is the first day back to work after a couple of weeks off. Naturally the little one can’t sleep (he hasn’t been feeling well to be fair), so he and I are hanging out on the couch. Gonna be a rough morning for both of us.
