did anyone check the Appalachian trail for McConnell

Platner now _even more_ qualified to be a future MAGA standard bearer

The resolution of the Trump era will be determined by the quantity and depth of the scars it leaves behind. Only those crimes that cannot be forgotten will draw enough ire to force a reckoning.

My midlife crisis is paying steam $6 to play Populus again. And it's not even the good version with the candy mice, aliens, or France tileset

The hand is labour. Elmo is capital.

What's "the east wing"?

I haven't seen a movie since before COVID, but 26 bucks for a ticket feels like a lot Happy to support Director Pixels, tho

"A generation of the unteachable is hanging upon us like a necklace of corpses"

Oh no that can't be us there must be a bunch of library ballot measures rending the fabric of local society. "Yes/No on C AI Slop Memes" Welp. It's us. Please I just want to go to the coffee shop without being told the vintage 1940's library is fine it just needs to build up.

Time for another toddler oriented trip to the Golden State Model Railroad Museum

I was always bothered by capture-the-flag rules. A line instantly reverses who tags who out. Being in jail is no fun. At one point I got some power in an intramural organization and tried to fix it: on contact, both players are out until they touch their base. Nobody understood it was better.

ICE is a criminal organization harming and racially profiling Californians. I'll send ICE to jail if they break our laws, all the way up to Stephen Miller.

I ran out of Opus tokens with 3 days left in the week, so i'm using my remaining sonnet to help set up a locally hosted Qwen.

Hey @glennklockwood.com my silicon intern has decided you're a good source of HPC information:

Don't skip reading your CA Primary Voters Guide; there's some real entertainment hiding amidst the 30 gubernatorial candidates.

I found a California Pipevine a few years ago, and it took quite a bit of nurturing to get the cutting established, but now the goal is accomplished. Yesterday I found a clutch of California Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars.

We're at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum today

Should have brought PPE or an umbrella in case the poop bombing jet somehow becomes real

kharg island tonite 👀

my sports bluesky is tuned perfectly, today I got: P0NYO P3NY5 Breaking Ball Breaks Balls Peak performance.

From the vibes of my local Democratic Club, CA gov race probably won't do the jungle thing. People understand they can't support a single digit candidate even though they like them. They don't like Porter being abusive, Swalwell being pro Israel, or Steyer being a billionaire.

This is horrific. ICE was at SFO kidnapping this mother right in front of her young child. And I have questions. San Francisco is a sanctuary city, which means no city resources can be used to aid ICE. How did two unidentified ICE agents get behind security at SFO to do this arrest?

I found this image on a UAE tour guide company website. It has a lot to think about.

Surprised I've seen no one discuss it, as I follow train people *and* current events people: UAE has a rail company. It links the port of Fujairah on the eastern coast (with oil facilities!) to Ruwais on the Persian Gulf. They could be using *trains* to avoid the strait of Hormuz...

Me: "Ok Claude, here is a skill with a glossary of all the words you always get wrong. _Please_ use it." Claude: "Ok, but actually, we're good; I already know all these terms so I'm not gonna waste my time looking at that." *Claude proceeds to catastrophically misdiagnose the issue*

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

Iran can both see USA gas prices in real time _and_ understand that Trumps nature is to quickly say "I win" and move on to the next thing. The optimal play is obvious! 1. Attack energy infrastructure and transit. 2. Pause and wait for Trump to say it's over and prices start to recover. 3. Go to 1

Looks like Iran got a supreme leader who can read. I'm jealous.

We're gonna need a new term that is like "Lame duck" but it's about the supreme court.

The entire Moomin cinematic universe is composed of weird little guys.

I figure, the plan is to start the war at the end of the speech; don't want It distracting from all the other BS. But he can't contain himself and blurts it out much earlier.

When a few crayons find their way into the dryer, it's a bad time.

Watching these autonomous coding agents in action is astonishing. They're doing file editing with a surgical stream of seds and awks... it's so alien

@ed3d.net So I've been doing claude coding at a basic prompt enough that today I decided to start learning skill/subagent/hook arrangements, so I went and grabbed your plugin marketplace. The experience has been... bizarre and frustrating?

I agree. I'm looking at nearby individuals, seeing some posts, and adding new people. It feels much more social and community, but it doesn't scale well And I suspect the spacing of clusters is more an artifact of clustering parameters and spacing constraints from projecting 2D @theo.io nice work

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

to any politicians out there: the only metric by which i am deciding my votes in any future Democratic primary is how far they're willing to go in punishing this administration and i am far from the only one

looks like i'm a 3d printing guy, now

I’m most likely never going to write a memoir, so this is what it was like to photograph the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. I got to The Ellipse a little bit after Trump’s speech started. I hadn’t planned on photographing the speech bc I wanted to be with the crowd.

Scene: a 21 Club table, mid 90s Trump: "I can build the greatest and most successful casino, anywhere I want on the face of the Earth." Jeff Gural: "That's absurd; there are plenty of places you would try and fail. For example, you could never build a casino on the White House grounds!" "Bet on it?"

Did Dell hire those donkeys? Or were they just ambient?

I stopped at the mobat.ch booth at #sc25 and used a DEC LA120 dot matrix printer terminal to ping the 30th fastest computer in the world.

If you are attending the Friday workshops at #SC25, please consider attending the Sixth Combined Workshop on Interactive and Urgent High-Performance Computing. Keynote by Alan Chalker from OSC, talking about Open OnDemand. www.interactivehpc.com @larofeticus.bsky.social #HPC

The #sc25 wifi is having a really tough time this year. I'm this far from an access point and my laptop can't keep a stable connection.

Scouring the #sc25 exhibition for swag toys a two year old will appreciate. #nextsilicon has a chameleon!

What a productive WORKS workshop this year; I've found 7 more workflow management tools. The total is now up to 511. #sc25
