    In case you didn&#39;t know: if you&#39;re a registered voter in the State of Washington, and you lose your mail-in ballot (like I did), you can reprint your ballot packet online. You have until 8 p.m. tonight to turn that sucker into the ballot box. Just go to https://www.votewa.org/ and provide your voter information to get access to your ballot reprint. #VoteWA #Voter #Vote #WA #USPol

    #WhidbeyIsland #News: Two houses were destroyed by fire, one blown up due to a 700lbs cache of fireworks stored inside. On the KIRO news segment, a neighbor reported the resident of the home allegedly said they “got a good deal” on the pallet of celebratory explosives prior to the explosions and fire that consumed their home. Firefighters and residents were injured. One firefighter required surgery. This happened on Wednesday on Smugglers Cove Road. https://www.whidbeynewstimes.com/2026/06/...

    I think the main thing is, we need to make sure that being an asshole is never considered cool or edgy ever again.

    If you’re in the PNW, you should probably start clearing the area around your house of any kind of flammable material. It’s going to be a crazy fire season. I moved here three years ago, to escape the fires of Northern California which decimated communities. Trees and shrubs are a real liability if they are close to your home. The houses that survive are ones without any landscaping touching or even within six feet of the structure. You probably want to stock up on air purifiers and filters now,...

    This stuff about producing all the oil we need in the US makes no sense. We sell oil on the global market. The market has less supply of oil. Oil price go up. It’s that simple.

    Big American Tech Companies are absolutely not planning for the unprecedented global energy recession we are about to experience. All the expensive data centering will result in higher token prices which means every product using LLM will be instantly unprofitable and require either removal or to be shut down. This is happening in the next 3-6 months. Mark my words. Sora just the first of many.

    Trump’s dissembling on his exit strategy in Iran makes George W. Bush’s premature “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq banner look downright apropos.

    Ah Spring, just in time for me to receive sunshine on my solar panels so I can be insulated somewhat from the energy shocks afflicting us due to this completely illegal and ill-advised war of no avail.

    Something irritating me a little more than it should is how all my former refuges are betraying me. For example, Apple MacOS used to be a pleasure. It wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t an eyesore, and the designers paid attention to UX. Now that’s in shambles and I can’t even retreat to my laptop without being reminded of the constant enshittification of everything.

    Guys, trying to make money off the internet is a fools errand. Always has been. I can’t believe I even have a career in internet.

    We already lost the war, can’t you see? It makes no sense to attack countries where you are dependent on their resources. If you want to get rid of Iran, build solar panel farms. Jesus.

    Will this toot make it impossible for me to leave the country? Trump is a sycophantic pedophiliac with a penchant for treason.

    I feel pretty confident in saying that there is no reason to put up with this, we shouldn’t bow to thieves, overthrow the system.

    I’m sorry but if you’re on substack still, get the hell off. Lots of ways to make your own website now. If you need help, ask me. I will literally give you free consulting to get your blog going somewhere else. Holy Christ.
