I read the second installment in Hugh Howey’s Silo Trilogy, “Shift”, picking up where season 2 of the Apple TV+ series leaves off, which inspired the me to read it. I found the book compelling, noting its ability to mirror current events, and read it quickly (500+ pages within a week). After reading, I’m pretty excited to read the final book in the trilogy, Dust.

“Should you wait for others to stand with you against injustice? No. Change starts with you. Waiting for a ‘big moment’ means ignoring the small shifts that lead to catastrophe. History shows silence fuels oppression. Stand up, speak out — before it’s too late. #SpeakUp #ActNow”
Installing this QM2 quad NVMe board with 2Tb for some fast data storage to add to the 8tb HDD pool (and the 1tb SSD I already have too.)
Thank God for being able to nerd out and take my mind off things for a bit. #homelab upgrades making for a productive Sunday.
Really digging what Ben is saying about The next four years<\a>. I said it in 2017, and I’ll say it again: We sometimes need the worst of us to bring out the best in us.
This sums up my thoughts about the TikTok ban charade right now:
Isn’t this a “promises made, promises kept” moment from OrangeMan? Or will he reverse his own-goal and look like a savior… even though he was incessantly shoving this down our collective throats since forever ago.

They said it wouldn’t be much snow in Atlanta on the news last night.

Dammit, c’mon Falcons.

New Years Day means soul food for most African Americans. In particular it means black eyed peas, neckbones and greens (mustard/turnip/collard mix) in mine. The beans symbolize planting seeds of success to grow in the coming year, greens for health and wealth, and neckbones meaning “making something outta nothing” since these used to be the “throwaway” part of the pig. Most of us do this every new year and down South, White folks, Hispanic folks, Asian folks, lots of us do it because the Culture spread like that.
Apparently Pets 3 is filming in the RV…
Godspeed Mr President.
I need to have this guy’s builder skills, time and space. I’d be both terrified and thrilled to drive this contraption 🤩
Keep your eyes on the prize. The battle is never fought alone so long as you remember the ancestors teachings.
That time my moms, my BFF and I rode the Delmar Loop trolley in our home town.
Testing once more…
Making a test post here… and now I’m updating the post with micropub…

Why does it seem like Atlanta’s transit agencies continually aim lower and lower when it comes to planning?
I was this many years old when I was told it was going to be an extension of the Red Line rail service from North Springs Station, about 5 miles away. Now all we get is a noisy, smoggy bus island in between 8 lanes of speeding traffic.
Nah, this ain’t it chief.
#LFG.
In honor of Father’s Day, I’m going to engage in one of my favorite past-times: $#!+posting dad jokes. 😏
If you’re a dad (or you have a dad– I guess that’d be everyone here except my immaculate conception, clones, androids and the asexual reproduction homies) please add to the ensuing and possibly annoying thread. Consider yourself warned for irony, cringe and general rando post fun & mayhem.
–Also go wish your dad a Happy Father’s Day before you forget 😜
Let’s get it started:
