I’m making this post because I don’t what else to do.

I’m looking for James Mast, a son of Moses Mast (my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away). If you are James or you know how to get in touch with him, please contact me (jmb.mx/contact) , as I want to make sure James can attend the memorial service (even if it has to be remote) but also for some other important issues.

FYI, James was last known to be in Cornwall, Ontario (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sixties-scoop-immigration-1.7541323 ) , but I haven’t had any luck tracking him down.

Looking for James Mast – JMB.mx

My washing machine doesn’t need Wi-Fi.
It's a feature that I would regret.
I just need a way to wash my pants.
Not show them to the Internet.

My oven doesn't need Wi-Fi.
I'd value that least of all.
It's already shielded from getting too hot.
It doesn't need another firewall.

My fridge does not need Wi-Fi.
That is just not useful for me.
I want a place to chill my food.
Not chat via TCP/IP.

SCIENCE!
getting harder to see trump’s whole “ending wars thing” as a talking point
(Reuters) -US Interior Department says a database revealing how the Trump administration plans to revise information on key phases of ​American history at national park sites was deliberative and the employees ‌who released it "will be held accountable." https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/leaked-interior-department-database-reveals-us-plans-revise-historical-2026-03-03/

I left my spot for all of three minutes. Three!

Oh, I'm sure the whole practice of randomly abducting or killing foreign heads of state without any legal basis or even much of an attempt at a justification will definitely not have any entirely predictable or dangerous repercussions down the road.
To catch you up if you're just waking: Trump's now waging an unconstitutional war against Iran while still waging an unconstitutional war against the civilian population of the United States. He's also angry he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

jfc the department of homeland security has recently bought 9 jets, spending over a billion dollars, and half are luxury jets they’ll likely use to fly around top officials.

These oligarchs are openly grifting with money we used to spend on healthcare and education https://gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury-d-jet-for-deportations-is-the-tip-of-the-ice-berg/

Noem’s luxury ‘deportation’ jet is the tip of the ICE-berg

Kristi Noem's DHS has acquired at least nine new aircraft in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets.
