No Kings Protest Huntsville AL 14 June 2025


Driving past the protesters on the sidewalk next to the main protest area. I was confused at one point by a few people yelling "Fuck you," no idea what their issue was but it's a free country?

A friend is in Belgium and hearing great things about #nokings there.


Fortunately this thing is built like a Tank! A very small piece of plastic cracked off the top, which I fixed and isn't visible, no other problems.
What a cool retro 15" 4:3 screen, it's really crisp and 75Hz too! 👍

I don't watch, listen or read the news at all, just a check in:
Is America 'Great' again yet?




The #NoKings protests today throughout the US, with insane numbers of spirited, brave and fed-up protesters, is in such an extreme and unbelievable contrast with the uncritical and cowardly tech-billionaires applauding like fan-boys from the front row seats during the inauguration.

I've not posted much this week, honestly I've had a bad one, mentally not great at the moment and feeling really low, but hey things will get better.
Back 25 years ago this was my Friday evening: Beige box, CRT, MPEG2 decoder card, DVD-ROM and a👌movie
Have a great weekend peeps


I get woken up early on a Saturday morning by a courier, excitedly I answer the door and take delivery. Open the package and instead of a small CRT TV the seller has accidentally sent me a typewriter. FFS 😂
Well, that was worth waiting a week for! 😞

Showing solidarity with our American Friends at the #nokings demo in Paris. Fittingly at the Place de la Bastille…

#Ostmoderne – nicht nur gebaut, sondern auch geträumt

Die Ausstellung "Pläne und Träume – Gezeichnet in der DDR" (Tchoban Foundation, Berlin) zeigt, was nie gebaut wurde – und gerade darin liegt die Kraft:

Rund 140 Entwürfe, oft fern der Norm, entziehen sich dem technisierten Baualltag der DDR.

Sie sind visuelle Fluchten, stille Kritiken – und zugleich Gegenbilder zu den bekannten Betonrealitäten im Plattenbau.

Was hier zu sehen ist, ist Ostmoderne jenseits des politischen Auftrags: zart, utopisch, persönlich. Architektur als gezeichneter Widerspruch.

Huge crowd for Bel Air, MD#NoKings
Bel air Maryland,  No Kings protest against ICE deportations

people tightly crowd the sidewalk with posters. This is outside the local office of Maryland's Shame, Andy Harris (R) "Liberty and justice for all... means ALL"

So between me and two friends that’s three #NoKings protests; me at the less-than-local, friend 1 at the local one, friend 2 at one in the UK (called a “No Tyrants” protest because they HAVE a king lol; maybe should still be a No Kings event? Just saying?).

Seeing SO. MANY. #NoKings clusters, almost one at every corner. I’m literally tearing up like the La Marseilles scene in Casablanca. #SicSemperTyrannus

So how long after he condemns it before 45 pardons this political murderer?

Will he wait 'til his armoured birthday/coronal party speech, or just post a pre-pardon for the assassin on 'strewthsoshall?

This is absolutely disgusting. I had not heard of the Mad Dictator’s plan for tonight’s showy finale.

At least there’s an excellent chance Mother Nature will #rain on the fool #Fireworks.

Per Axios: D.C.'s first military #parade since the Gulf War will end with #Army parachuters touching down to present President #Trump with an American flag on his birthday, officials recently told reporters at the Pentagon.

For fuck’s sake. And it’s not as if the #cosplaying fools don’t have #iran et al.

Sorry to be away and missing the NoKings events today. A little proud of my fellow Americans right now.
