In case you were wondering.

My playlist put Come Sunday by Xhose Cole and then Perverts by Ethel Cain one after the other and it sent me into a spooky place. 😬

I hate "design by feeling" or whatever this is called.

How dare I teach my own children to question authority and then get frustrated when they do the opposite of what they're told.

Ukulele Metal! Pan pipe Metal! It finally happened! open.spotify.com/track/5kFukw...

TIL the term "mortal computation" for adding wetware (living brains) to computer systems. This is not sci-fi. Yes, it's happening now.

I still think about Black Sheep all the time. #rva

I listened to 560 hours of new music releases last year by over 2500 artists and that only covered releases from Jan-Sept. I pulled together a couple lists. Here are 100 tracks you don't want to miss from 2024 - open.spotify.com/playlist/6u9... and for metal - open.spotify.com/playlist/4bb...

I see you, baby. "wdgdc-gtm-analytics-pageData-js-extra" on that brand new WordPress site. It's a very nice blue. Lots of contrast.

Sewing after a few glasses of tequila is hilariously terrible and masochistic, but dammit I promised to fix this stuffed fox tonight.

Working with the kids to make bricks for Gallery5's Mending Walls exhibit. They wanted to support pet adoption and the SPCA, roughly expanded from their actual words, "kitty cats." Ruby picked a winner and ran with it. It's been a journey. #rva

Today's a good day. #HTTC

I've been going to Commanders/Redskins games since 1996 and I've never watched a game where I felt as good as I feel now. What a win. What a season.

I got the creepy AI coffee for $5. Let's try it and rate it 1-10. (Honestly, smells amazing)

Free dystopian fiction story idea: AGI finally lands and quickly takes responsibility for managing all the humans. We're too chaotic and messy and irresponsible, so it puts us to work earning our UBI credits. Really it's just making sure we're distracted enough to not do any more damage.

Uh, this is the best pitch. Fully endorse.

🎄 Advent calendar for plant enthusiasts! With @vercakalnikova.bsky.social, we have gone through our photo archives and, quite unsurprisingly, found many alpine plants there. From now on, at least until Christmas, we will introduce one alpine plant species a day in this 🧵 ⏬⏬

I've managed to raise inquisitive kids. That's worth celebrating! But now what do I do? They're only 4 and are already challenging the limits of my knowledge. 🙃 This weekend we dove into the intricacies of car manufacturing and the components that make up a tire.
