If I wanted a criminal as President I wouldn’t vote for the former guy. Facing four indictments and 91 felony charges tells me he can’t even do that right.

Mountain Black-eye

Dark olive-green upland specialist, restricted to Borneo’s central highlands, where it inhabits mossy forest, stunted growth, and even pockets of sparse growth above the treeline; one of the most common species at the highest elevations. Black eye patch and slender red bill are unique. Forages at all levels, often in pairs or small flocks. Song is a series of pleasantly melodic fluty whistles, often heard in the early morning; gives various tweeting, chirring calls.

I'm a father, a cat-person, an artist, a writer, and a software engineer. Sometimes I play a little music for my own entertainment.

But, my biggest hobby, by far, is reading epic fantasy novels. Here's my top 5:

1. "The Wars of Light and Shadow" by Janny Wurtz
2. "The Elderling Saga" by Robin Hobb
3. "Black Company" by Glen Cook
4. "The Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkien
5. "Lyonesse" by Jack Vance

I have some other interests too... here's a cloud of hashtags for those...

During a pandemic, a ton of Atlantans showed up in an election and runoff to kick out a corrupt DA with a 23 year tenure, and replaced him with DA Willis. We should all be proud of that today. Local elections matter!

Trump posting about how he's been "indicated" again. I wonder how long before we hear about the journalists conjugating in the courtroom, and the dysentery spreading among the GOP. Jack Smith is a real albacore around his neck! It's a total stagmire!

I’ve logged into Threads a total of three times. Each time I’ve been struck by how bad a job they did at building a Mastodon app. It really is the worst implementation of microblogging I’ve seen, with no actual way to see what people you follow post, just an endless feed of celebrities. It’s bonkers.

Thanks, Alito.

42,536,385 more Americans have reported contracting #COVID, and 297,268 have died since the Supreme Court rejected the vaccine mandates. #ThanksAlito
