Legos to the rescue

Yesterday Doctor: watch your saturated fats Today Work: Mirabelles Bakery tasting

The neighborhood Tom who’s made the mail carrier his personal enemy

Waiting so long in the exam room, the light has turned off automatically…

I wish as we walked around, floating over everyone's heads, we could see people with their trailing 30-day average daily energy use grouped by category: (home, food, work, transportation, compute).

When do the satellite wars start?

From earlier with my meager phone. Harvest Moon, Summit House, The Meadows

It’s absurd that Rs don’t care about bald-faced lies by the government

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

I installed an antenna to my TV, and now one of my favorite things to do is see what’s on PBS (4 of my 8 channels)

PSA: don’t use cheap lithium ion batteries

TIL the definitions of incubus and succubus !

T admin knows they’re driving economy into the ground and are trying to create a scapegoat

There's a new development proposed nearby that doesn't provide 1 spot per dwelling unit and it's amazing how many folks act as if they're being forced to move into it and are worried about the lack of available parking.

It's kinda amazing how sports arena workers must provide short-notice working hours flexibility so that broadcast networks can make more money selling ads.

I spend way too much time thinking about how car-centric road design hollowed out our neighborhoods by prioritizing throughput over livability — and how reclaiming that space is so hard thanks to layers of engineering study requirements.

From Reddit: “Dunks might not have the best donuts in the state, but they do have the worst donuts in the state.” 💯

Feels like we do not have reliable short-term macroeconomic measuring devices to show the accumulating damage being done to the economy.

This fact is not breaking through. Republicans have the power to open the government by themselves. They just need to use the “nuclear option” to suspend or change the filibuster. Rs nuked three weeks ago for judges, so we know they’re able. But they’d rather keep it closed and blame Dems.

It’s unfortunate that society continues to normalize the abhorrent government behavior. It’s amazing how half the public not giving a shit really breaks democracy.

Some of the newly politically active folks in a local Facebook group are cooking up a conspiracy theory about conflict-of-interests. Seems like they don't realize that every official takes ethics training every 2 years and is bound by both the conflict-of-interest and financial disclosure laws.

Also a nice little add is the disappearing of cars from roads.

Always hard to believe that this was the best they could do

Got to see @jeffspeck.bsky.social talk tonight in East Longmeadow, andhe unveiled a walkable future for the “Massterisk” (7-way) rotary. That guy is inspiring! Let’s save our downtowns with the Walkable City (and walkable hearts), please!

Is AI energy demand causing inflation?

Why did the triangle, square, and hexagon go out for a run? To keep in shape.

I find myself saying... "That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works." ...all the time now.

My favorite solutions proposed by the carbrained folks are: 1. the existing safe bike paths only add an extra half-mile to your trip 2. cyclists should be willing to walk their bikes from the bike path to the downtown locations they want to visit ...as the complain about not enough street parking

All they have to say is: “Republicans control the government. They know it takes 60 votes in the Senate, but instead of proposing something that could pass, they’re pushing bad-faith bills and holding government workers’ paychecks hostage.”

T’s only game is getting people to think they’re between a rock and a hard place and taking as much advantage of that situation as possible.

T admin appears to be offering D leadership an option to either cut off their foot or take a poison pill. I’m guessing they’ll be stupid enough to do one or the other.

Only 10 MLB teams were better than .500 on the road. 6 of those 10 were 41-40! Only Miami was better on the road (41-40) than at home (38-43)

Every time I hear about feeds of AI-generated videos, I think of WALL-E

I like how extreme views are... Left: Healthcare for all. Let's not ruin earth. Right: Let's govern with Christianity. Only the strongest survive. ...and media treats them as if they're equally outrageous

@hampmunicipaldrama.bsky.social Wish the Picture Main Street "waste of money" people could learn about the $9M project for bridge over the Mill River next to the Oxbow. hwy.massdot.state.ma.us/ProjectInfo/...

Only one qualified batter in the NL hit above .300 this year. Trea Turner hit .304

Oh, September 28. 5:30PM ET.

Just looked at score. Most points scored by Patriots since Jan 2 2022 (50-10 v Jaguars(3-14), home, QB Mac Jones)

Incredible how much of our world is a shrine to cars

My 8yo asked today: “What’s a drink like Fernet, but kids can drink it?”

I ride in the center of the sharrow lane and let cars know they can go cry in the other lane if they want to pass.

I lose all willpower with home-baked focaccia

We built a society that was dependent on future tax revenue and then some decided they didn’t want to pay taxes.

Cool how everyone is paying for AI through their increased energy prices. Isn't that like democratization of AI. Am I doing this right?

It's always fun to see what the models come up with. Especially with double-barrel hurricane scenarios.

Seems like most folks just need a punch to their 401Ks to feel anything

DEUTSCHE: Without tech spending, the US would have been close to, or in, a recession earlier this year. @bloomberg.com $NVDA

I feel it: Astros win out (89-73) Guardians go 3-1 (89-73) Tigers (88-74) sweep Sox (88-74) and win tiebreaker Sox 7th

There’s a big difference between trying something difficult and failing, and trying to tear things down. More people need to be able to distinguish.
