@ai6yr yeah, and you really don't want to stop for dinner up there because you might end up being dinner.

In New Delhi, the authorities have become serious about fighting the world's worst pollution, and have come out swinging by banning the street kebab. https://www.npr.org/2025/12/25/nx-s1-5647491/smog-in-delhi-has-triggered-a-ban-on-a-beloved-street-snack

It is a scene of utter carnage here as I slaughter innocent bok choy. Will oven roast with olive oil, soy sauce, 10-year old Chinese vinegar, allam pachadi (ginger pickle), and curry leaf paste.

A 55" oled tv with android as the os (which means a native jellyfin client) arrives tomorrow and I am more than a little bit excited. My own private netflix.

FWIW, this is my jellyfin server. Aka, my own private netflix. Mac mini, 10g ubiquiti switch, 2 8tb ssds, saw blades, gas line, water, etc, etc I can do 3,000 videos on this setup.

I’m in India and all people want to talk about is the Zoran Mamdami victory speech, especially the totally eloquent way he invokes Nehru. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5cG4WD8uEwE He’s gone viral, the new face of America. Making America great again.

Trump endorses Cuomo. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQlLSWsDqCm/ Mamdami: “Congratulations Andrew Cuomo. I know how hard you worked for this.” :)

Trump administration providing weapons grade plutonium to Sam Altman. What could possibly go wrong?

Looks like the court of appeals has approved the invasion of Portland. My money is on the frogs.

My eagle has landed. Please meet Sri Garuda. He is the king of the eagles and moonlights as a vahana. He joins Mooshika and Nandi in the vip waiting area in front of the house. He is made of brass and comes from a foundry in Thailand, though he was born and grew up in India.

Alert! 5 million birds will be over Oregon tonight. Please turn off your light. And wear a hat if you’re out in the open.

They are trying to outlaw honking in New Delhi and it is not going well. https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/delhis-horn-issues-quiet-enforcement-for-a-loud-problem-101756234727359.html ht @sushubh

I am just imaging the awesome power the position of Chief Design Officer of the United States must hold. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08/improving-our-nation-through-better-design/ Can establish a new dress code for federal employees, redesign the American flag, enforce tattoo codes of decorum in our cities with assistance from the National Guard and federal law enforcement. Require red baseball caps to be worn in all federal buildings.

The federal government has announced that it is preparing plans for the invasion of the municipality of Chicago and perhaps even the greater Cook County area. https://wapo.st/4mvKFW3

My official visit to the Supreme Court of India. Made it through first level of security with my pickles and masala blends. Got my Official Visitor pass. Escorted through second level of security. Visited the judicial museum. Escorted into the special back corridor nobody ever sees to enter chambers. Presented my pickles and homemade masala blend to the justice. Not your usual tourist visit to Delhi.

@mattblaze you can only imagine how I, standing in the dock accused of such malfeasance, attempting to maintain a straight face as the charges are read, must feel.
