Tonight's #MineralMonth dive into the @TheRock's oeuvre was Skyscraper, which is exactly what the trailer promises.

#MineralMonth bonus: the building is "The Pearl".

The sequel should revolve around the rivalry between duct tape and WD-40.

It was hard, but I’ve picked the 15 most notable lies of Donald Trump’s staggeringly dishonest presidency: http://www.cnn.com/2021/01/16/politics/fact-check-dale-top-15-donald-trump-lies/index.html

Bummer -- the trailer looks great, but the link to the documentary itself is broken.

I'm reading a manga (Planetes) and I was *very confused* until I realized that the individual panels, like the whole book, are read right-to-left.

Thanks to a massive fuckup from the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed program, Oregon's new optimistic vaccination plans are in danger.

Apparently, a Corgi crossed with another breed looks like a corgi disguised as the other dog. https://www.sadanduseless.com/corgi-mix/

I tried some Deep Rock Galactic for #MineralMonth, but it's really meant to be multiplayer. Next up, ΔV: Rings of Saturn.

The amount of snow that @timeanddate predicts for Portland two weeks from now keeps snapping back and forth between five inches and nothing.

I'm sort of surprised that this election didn't see mainstream media fooled by high-quality deepfakes.

@zefrank I believe it's a way of getting the Democrats to take the heat while sucking the poison out of the Republican Party.

Make it wait until Biden's in the hot seat, and the congress has flipped. They do the work, and Trump can't ever run for president again.

Win win.

A primer for US partisan politics 2021-2025

1) Republican partisans will endlessly slander the Biden admin, most of it provably untrue.

2) Democrat partisans will defend and deflect from true issues with Biden admin by accusing critics of "amplifying Republicans"

Stay frosty

Wait ... is this all Lord Dampnut playing majestically petty 3-dimensional chess to make sure Biden's inauguration crowd is smaller than his? https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/14/politics/national-mall-closed-inauguration-day/index.html
