@tusk81 @Cdespinosa I took a bunch of small flags to the San Jose March and gave out about 20. I had a number of people approach me and ask if they could have one. They got two. :-) That’s why I brought them, to help make the flag ours again.

@jonasdowney I prefer a personally curated timeline, so Mastodon for tech/Apple and Bluesky for news/politics/doomscrolling.

On the importance of being froggy:

The play in the #fascism handbook that #trump and his handlers have been itching to play out is a more widespread martial law.

They don’t need an excuse mind you, but oh my does it piss them off that they don’t have one in Portland. The corporate media agencies are built around clickbait and even though they’re a propaganda machine for Trump, folks in frog suits facing off against an armed gestapo is too juicy for them to ignore.

So now you have folks like Miller desperately lying to the media about “war-ravaged #portland” and people laughing at him because there are no riots for them to inflame, just folks laughing at the absurdity of it all.

Keep laughing. Keep mocking. It’s infectious. The more we laugh at them now, the less likely it is that the people we need to march in protest are cowed and kept too scared to do so.

If we’re lucky maybe we can laugh them out of office on a raft of inflatable frogs. I’m not naive, I know that’s unlikely, but for now at least I’m choosing to have some faith in the power of the absurd.

We're gonna need a bigger Hague
I am on board for a national strike. Shut it all down economically. For as long as it takes. The longer we wait the worse it will get. These fascist thugs and corrupt enablers must be stopped. #NationalStrike #USPol #Fascism
Help my friend Becky fight her recent cancer diagnosis. Like many, I played games Becky helped create on the Apple II/IIgs, Macintosh, and other personal computing platforms.

@heyjeffg I’m old. 🤣I did one co-authored article and helped out on a puzzle page or two when there were guest authors.

@eschaton It really was a great read.

I have what I believe is a complete paper collection, including issue 22 where yours truly has a co-author byline and a professional author photograph.

@Stattenf I also enjoy researching a product, buying that product, then seeing ads for that product that I now own for the next few months. Online advertising is such a scam.
Got to see this awesome boat at the Richmond Yacht Club and meet Leo last night, along with a few hundred other fans. Leo gave an hour slideshow talk and was gracious to meet everyone.
