Last day at the beach and Uncle Evan took out out for a cruise down the ICWW.

Beach day = Reading day

a Black man named Freeman scored the second goal and the first goal happened because of a great run by our birthright citizen striker, these chuds can fuck all the way off

i think if you dress like this, you deserve to do a little corruption

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

okay but what if a 10-year-old thinks moby dick is better than middlemarch, what then. where are they supposed to go

one of my favorite recurring subplots in housing discourse is NIMBYs talking about any major dev project like it’s a form of settler colonialism and meanwhile actual indigenous people are like “we are going to build the biggest apartment buildings you have literally ever seen”

I am trying to book a ticket on the AVE and the Renfe website is the worst site I have ever tried to use. I cant believe it is actually this bad

there is a bookbinder’s museum in SF and they have beautiful old books

Unbelievable! Go Canes!

Highlight reels like these are fun, but Wilson's jumpshot game and passing are criminally underappreciated, and ultimately, that's what will make or break his NBA career. I wish the makers of these videos would include more of that. He is more than an open-court dunker.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Go Canes

I fucking love Van Eyck. They have a replica of the Ghent Altar piece in its original side chapel so you can see how much they'd painted it for exactly that spot. Adored pointing out the way the light falls to visitors when I was a tour guide there. I didn't catch the reflection in the 3 mm gem 🤯

Waiting for a train at King’s Cross and looked up. Fascinating.

#terriertuesday is also a throw-back to Rainier's first camping trip. She was only a few months old when we went to City of Rocks National Reserve.

Mount Hood. Wow!

not a good metric for comparison. spurs fans say "go spurs" but knicks fans have historically expressed the same emotions by posting "im going to blow my brains out"

BREAKING: Mayor Mamdani just signed an “executive order” to repeal bedtime so NYC kids can watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals!

How it started; how it's going

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Ahh no wait sorry let me fix that

Shrey spelling 32 words in 90 seconds to win the Spelling Bee is the new greatest athletic accomplishment of 2026. I don’t even know how he said the letters that fast. Got a “Holy Mackerel” out of @minakimes.bsky.social

Lol

Sheldon baseball plays in the quarter finals of the state playoffs tonight versus Clackamas. That means I'm on the bus for my commute this morning so B can pick me up on the way to Portland and we can ride together. So thankful for transit options on a long commute and looking forward to the game.

"everyone" = men with money

the Mets play baseball again today

Old fishing nets can be an environmental problem. But now a nonprofit called Net Your Problem is collecting them from fishing towns across the country to send to Ukraine to protect against drone attacks.

But can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?

Is this intentionally meta? "Axel's grandson said this was art and no one said, 'No way! That's impossible.'"

I never know what to do when friends give me bad book recs. Do I finish the book so I can tell them I read it? When they ask what I thought, do I temper my dislike so not to offend. Or do I ditch the book, tell them it was so bad I couldn't get through it, and avoid recs from them in the future? 😬

Race-swapping *is* the Betty Boop story. Max Fleischer hired Mae Questel to voice Boop in '31 cuz she cd imitate the mannerisms (scatting, "boop!' sounds, etc) of then-hot singer Helen Kane. Kane sued for stealing her style. The trial proved Kane copied her mannerisms from black singer Esther Jones.

On my commute home, I just watched a bald Eagle swoop down and pluck a small animal from the grass beside the road.

Shoutout to the very senior professor in HCI who gave a talk last month about how AI can do qualitative data analysis better than people now.

i smell a pulitzer

This is a shocking example of one of the big reasons why, right now, there is no way I’d use AI for any of my historical work. If you don’t look at the documents yourself, and if you don’t know how the AI you’re using was coded, you have no idea what it may be leaving out – or adding in.

100000000% this.

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Last game of the season and they are playing the Jimi Hendrix version of the anthem to start the game 🤣🤣🤣

Rough day for the Ducks, but at least the boy has his dog.

GOD. DAMN. This Louisiana man fucking COOKED like I’ve seen very few people cook before.
