A good little discussion about the consequences of Trump f🍁cking up;
- Epstein - The Christmas card that didn't exist - totally does and Rupert Murdoch - owner of Fox News - has receipts
- Qatar/Israel - will Trump support Israel or the people that gave him a jet?
- the US is supporting Poland in shooting down Russian drones.

I've been watching some shows on the history of old technology.
One of those was this documentary hosted by Stephen Fry who interviews the team of people recreating an historically accurate Gutenberg press - circa 1440.

The interesting part about this documentary is you can see how Johannes Gutenberg was basically a techbro of his age and the factors that drove the success of his efforts.

I've had some fun with videos, but this one was a more serious take on fixing my AC.
Filmed mostly on iPhone - edited in CapCut using only free tools.

That time in WWII when the British handed over a bunch of new tech including the plans for the Atomic Bomb - but it was RADAR and the Magnetron that had the biggest impact.

I watch a lot of videos in the background and post the more interesting ones on Threads and X.
This one is about a mystery man found in a steel tube in Liverpool by kids.

Background video while I work. Nothing much - Just kids playing on a building lot - with a steel canister that had a man's skeleton inside. https://youtu.be/JNfUoGsOWqo?si=iW20FA2RWcbr_q4Q

Our son was a very early premie. He’s nonverbal, eats from bottles and is still wearing diapers. Bottle duty is my domain so I have a bottle station and routine. This set up allows me to make a full day of bottles - currently 8-9 - before we get him ready for school. It’s a nice side bonus to be able to show Grandma to calm her anxiety. #autism #adhd #audhd #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #autismdad #autismparents #autismfamily #trauma #ptsd
