Bangkok's streets on a rainy night are the closest analog I've seen to Blade Runner.

A good dinner, Bangkok street life to watch while good jazz plays, and a glass of absinthe to ease the pains of the week. I'm kinda digging how this evening is going.
Who knew they had reflecting pools in Thailand, too? Thankfully, it only *looks* like algae. 🤣
To celebrate my [censored] decade going around the sun, a taste of the sweet amidst the bitter that is life - Absinthe.
Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, or Ghibli.
Every person matters, without exception. Everyone fights, no one quits. #ThisWellDefend #InalienableRights
Happy birthday, Army Warrant Officers. 108 years, and you're still going strong. Here's to you. youtu.be/KC0DNLDXJW8
The Regime will crucify MAJ Watson using the UCMJ rather than civil law, because it explicitly forbids what he did. He'll lose everything he's worked for throughout his career, including his freedom, and as a field-grade officer, he knew it going in. Clearly he believes that it's warranted.
Got my fourth bookshelf at long last! I can finally organize the role-playing books and the role-playing novels, while keeping the histories, philosophies, and tactics to themselves. And two whole shelves for comics! 🤩
Once more, we turn our meditation to the focus that the Serene Master Zack de la Rocha bestowed upon us. "F$ck you, I won't do what you tell me."
There's a reason that Captain America carries a shield. This We'll Defend.
Memorial Day weekend is often a heavy one for those that have served, because we remember those we served with that haven't made it. If you have the opportunity, listen to someone's memories this weekend. As the great poet says, we "are changed, changed utterly / a terrible beauty is born."
A solemn farewell to Robert, veteran of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. One of the Chosen Few that survived the battle and the winter. His son David mourns him tonight. I will toast my brother in arms, who I hope has gone to a place where war is unknown and the brave live forever.
I have a commitment that I can't break tomorrow during the rallies. Here's my inspiration, by a favorite poet. I will continue to shout for those who are voiceless, tomorrow and every day. #NoKings #Indivisible @evrgrn-resistance.bsky.social @olyindivisible.bsky.social poets.org/poem/protest
#DragonTuesday A tale in which an assassin finds himself quite out of his reckoning.
Thanks for the recipe, @loulougirls.bsky.social ! This came together well.
After seeing it in print, I've had the somewhat bonkers idea that Asst. DHS Secretary McLaughlin's name would be *exactly* the kind of pseudonym and false identity that Harley Quinn would use (while pronouncing it Tricki McLaffin). Her official photograph hasn't disabused me of that notion.
Happy work anniversary to me! 20+ years on this crazy merry-go-round. I'm celebrating by donating blood. Service before self.
#OlympiaIndivisible #EvergreenResistance Typical PNW day, but there was still a lot of spirit. Resistance is inevitable.
