A morning full of feels.
How Neighboring Works Here in 2026
A neighbor noticed two unmarked but federal looking vehicles in the neighborhood parked near the elementary school. Another neighbor approached the vehicles to inquire. Found out they were FBI, not ICE. A different neighbor verified the plates against a independently constructed database of known ICE/DHS/FBI vehicles. Confirmed that both were present at known ICE activity and spotted in and out of Whipple (ICE Headquarters) but could have been FBI in assist mode.
“Meanwhile, he’s out there making movies about ping-pong and I’m like, who f*cking cares about ping-pong biyatch!”
(clears throat)
“I meant, ‘Hey, ping-pong’s not my thing but it is something other people enjoy and that alone is worth my respect.'”
“There, I fixed it for him.”

Even though Beatrix has decided on Sarah Lawrence she has not had the time yet to withdraw her applications to other schools still yet to send out decisions so it was a bit funny to receive yet another acceptance (Connecticut College) this morning.
Intentionally not updating the iSuite applications on my Mac because the new liquored glass iCons are so bad.
Wife: Neveh is a stupid name
Me: It’s heaven spelled backwards.
Wife: I know. Like Satan spells it.
This is why I married her. Also, Beatrix’s wit is just as quick. I get two of them!
Decided.
Still on a 2020 M1 MacBook Air. It’s working fine for my needs.
My wife purchased a fairly beefed up M4 Air at the end of last year.
Can’t say I’m not feeling a bit “behind” given the new ones announced today.
Trying to get over that feeling.
And, as I’ve long said, you can’t fight faith with facts.
Once you understand that Donny Dictator is a lifelong adherent of Norman Vincent Peale you understand that his self aggrandizement is more than just a bulling tactic but, in fact, his religion. His hubris is the very foundation of his faith. He is his God, as he was raised to believe.
