If your son isn’t willing to charge an entrenched position of US Marines for the Emperor because “that’s suicidal” and “you bought this katana at the mall for twenty dollars,” and “the war ended in 1945 and we’re not Japanese,” you failed as a parent.

(This dude also does twitter D&D quests, which are hilarious even though I’m only loosely D&D-acquainted. I pray to a beneficent Murphy that he gets a book contract one day, because I want his stuff in hard copy.)

Planning to go to a protest tonight. Any suggestions on my poster? I am favoring something about Ukraine as an important NATO ally that we betrayed. Not a lot of Kurds around here.

@Sab: But my husband’s best friend has a kid who is a Navy Seal. He is “not polite” about Tump.

I’m flying back to the (alleged) Land of the Free in 44 hours. Try not to break everything before I get there, okay? :)

I made the mistake of allowing myself to doze off about 10:00, so now I have been awake for the last couple of hours. I’m trying to decide whether to make coffee or go back to bed. I’m not very sleepy, but there’s not a lot going on.
Still no Internet on the computer. I went to the Cox store on Sunday, but they no longer sell modems, they only rent them ($10/month!), so I ordered one from Amazon ($79), and it is coming today. I was slightly surprised that Best Buy didn’t have the model I wanted either.
I did score a new cable box, though. I was asking the store rep about the Contour service in a general way. She looked on my account and said that my current box is so old (2011-ish?) that it’s getting phased out soon. She practically insisted that I take a Contour box with me (no charge, allegedly), and I can return my old one within the next two weeks. So once I get my connection going again I’ll have the fancy Contour features (voice remote, expanded search, integrated streaming services, etc.) and a 250-hour DVR. #InfrastructureWeek!

@Sab: Ukraine is not a member of NATO. But you can call them an ally. Trump sold out Ukraine, the Kurds, working on South Korea. NATO IS next.

Hmm, tea drinkers. Who else drinks tea? The Russians, but also the Chinese. In other words, the people who have “rematch” and “We’ve come to re-assume our rightful place in the world”, respectively, on their minds. Something to consider.

@Sab: Good for him .
