John | @john #US #Navy #Submarine #veteran ⚓ and 20+ year #Technology professional. I’ve launched CoreSignal as a digital “hard reset” to prioritize intentionality over algorithms—seeking connectivity in pursuit of connection.
I am still early in my #Stoic journey, practicing prosoche through the #Enchiridion and learning to “grab the smooth handle”.
When I’m away from the terminal, I’m exploring my #JohnnyDecimal categories (301/302), growing #wildflowers, and practicing #photography —a hobby I’ve tinkered with since my high school medium-format days, though I remain a dedicated student of the lens. 🌸📸
Spider-Man: Brand New Day' First Reactions...
Critics who have pre-screened the new #Spidermanbrandnewday movie have been overwhelmingly positive. I can't wait to see it in theaters
#SpiderManBrandNewDay is easily my favorite Holland-led Spider-Man movie. It isn’t CGI goop or a bunch of fan-service nonsense. It’s exciting, emotional, and the best-looking MCU movie in a long time.

@newbery Yes, that is sound advice, as unannounced guests tend to get treated as hostile invaders.

Mind if I steal this for my own household?
Interestingly, the word "lord" comes from the Old English hlāford, meaning "loaf guardian" or "keeper of the bread."
Together, the words lady and lord show that sustaining the household was a role of great responsibility and respect.
@Oggie@woof.group @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io Playing the first episode right now. Thanks for the recommendation!
FLASHBACK: Just two days ago, MeidasTouch reported that the official government website had mysteriously changed the number of American service members killed in the Iran war from 18 to 14. Now, the New York Times has confirmed this change was made.
BREAKING: Iran has reportedly rejected a U.S. ceasefire proposal delivered to Tehran by Iraq's prime minister after his meeting with Trump
Generation X (1965–1980):
• Ages 46 to 61
• Looking somewhere between 29 and “none of your business”
• Didn’t grow up sheltered — we were basically turned loose outdoors
• Independent at 10; still refusing to act like adults at 50
• Our childhood would make a modern parent group chat implode
Which is why our internal mantra remains: “It’ll work out. I’ve got this.”

NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom.
GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.
As a reminder, Pete Hegseth was pushed out of TWO veterans nonprofits amid financial mismanagement allegations, running groups into debt, overspending on parties/events, and treating funds like personal accounts.
Now, he has just about bankrupted the Pentagon despite a record budget and is demanding another $1.5 trillion.
Mozilla are pathetic, Firefox is back to posting on X/Twitter.
@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social @briankrebs@infosec.exchange Can one be "an independent voice" on X/twitter?
Because Conservatives love America like a four-year-old loves mommy.

If that doesn't make you barf, Axios reports the new Truth API provides real-time access to posts from the platform's top 10 trending accounts.
"In the future, the API can be expanded to more accounts for customers willing to pay more, McGurn says."
"Those accounts include decision makers who impact policy and geopolitical outcomes, such as President Trump (@realDonaldTrump), the White House (@WhiteHouse), FBI Director Kash Patel (@kash), White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino (@DanScavino) and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (@seckennedy)."
@cdarwin@c.im Congrats!
TRUMP DIARRHEA OUTBREAK: Cyclosporiasis cases are surging now across 40+ states, a severe diarrhea outbreak linked to contaminated produce. Reports indicate Trump admin CDC changes made Cyclospora surveillance optional and restructured the parasitic diseases division.
Trump is back in full-on escalatory, warmongering mode.
On Fox just now he threatened that next week he'll knock out Iran's power plants and bridges, he wouldn't rule out a ground campaign, and refused to say whether he's going after Kharg Island because it'd be "foolish" to reveal that.
It all reeks of desperation.
NEWS: Senate Democrats blocked a $1.15 trillion defense bill, saying they refuse to advance a massive Pentagon funding package after Trump launched the Iran war without congressional authorization. The procedural vote failed 50-46, short of the 60 votes needed.
