Wife got new iPhone 12 today. No plug for the USBC to Lightning adapter. She is furious!

So much news I don't even know how/where to start consuming. But I try. In other personal news, parents got their second vaccine and that makes me over the moon happy!

Meanwhile, it's 12 degrees. In Texas.

It must be incredibly disheartening to have such an open and shut case knowing full well that it doesn't matter and the former President walks away unscathed.

Good closing day by House impeachment managers. Now we get to sit back and watch a train wreck. And yet through it all, it still won't make a bit of difference :(

This impeachment hearing is just astounding. Such a great pile of evidence. Can't wait to see how much more badly the former President's lawyers can be (if possible) from yesterday.

HA - can I sign up for this? Facebook will temporarily show less political content to some users - CNBC

Powerful testimony from the House managers. Cannot possibly fathom what sort of rebuttal will be on display next, but one thing is for certain - it will be bat shit crazy.

I love this - normal political drama. Best part is - it's a reasonable thing to be mad about. The other side of the coin? It'd be good to know what the press is gonna ask, so, you know, the press secretary can have an informed response. https://news.yahoo.com/biden-admin-under-fire-reportedly-025318569.html

I now have 22 projects queued up that were personal learning, nerd projects that have yet to get done or are in various states of progress. One would have thought time to work during the age of corona would have gone up - nay...the opposite has transpired!

Yesterday, I had 90 minutes scheduled for me to write a blog - cause it's important to me. 4 minutes in, the wheels came off. Having six kids is fun, but zoiks, there's never enough time for, well, anything.

This is nice - not sure why we couldn't get this done last year. Now, we need to get back into the Open Skies Treaty!

Today in things that should have happened at the end of November: https://apnews.com/article/feds-send-covid-19-vaccines-pharmacies-a351bbc776eb3acd27dc3d951c4f4e81

Oh and @botsin.space too :)

If anyone knows someone that runs @societal.co - I really enjoy the Google news and Hacker news feed - would love if they'd relay.

Happy to see some people found my open relay, surprised they were able to find it, but it's open for good! Just don't be a Nazi or a fascist and you can stay. Or anime porn, that's really weird. lol

Firefox adds this and Brave adds IPFS - seems like browsers are becoming service providers. https://relay.firefox.com/?ref=link

Good morning world. It's a special kind of day - Monday - where nothing gets done because everything is due!

I watched the first press briefing by the new administration yesterday with delight and glee at the normalcy of it.
