So interesting to name two #AI using Armageddon names… Gog and Magog. #scifi don’t say we didn’t warn you.

So 1954’s “Gog” is interesting: presages “Andromeda Strain,” and one of the earliest #AI-kills-humans stories.

Well, I *used* to read The Hill every day… until I found out who owns them #nextstarboycott

Maybe add “go away” to the LLM?

When the “helpful” #AI won’t let you finish what you were doing

Hold up the sky #Tucson #geology

The current moment. Mount Lemmon, #Tucson

Coming down off the mountain, the brilliant red leaped into my field of vision. Chile harvest is the most wonderful time of the year.

Working on the weekend #twilightzone #pinkfloyd

Sunday! Sunday Sunday!!

And this is why I never signed up for Threads. Meta has proven over and over that it will exploit its users #fuckZUCK

Brilliant #FCC

“So then he says, ‘all I got was hot buttered Jawa.” The Odd Couple featuring Chewbacca and Darth

Truly a classic, it’s canon now #starwars #troops “The ass end of space”

I really miss this Internet. “Godzilla vs Disco Lando,” animated by Evan Mather using Kenner action figures, circa 1997. A punching nun, cinematic references and “The Girl From Ipanema.”

Underwater Nazi zombies? “Shock Waves,” 1977. Peter Cushing, Brooke Adams, and a Carradine.

Lyrical. David Fincher’s Se7en.

Feeling like Morgan Freeman in Se7en, all around. #filmsky

My spiny friend lets me commune with him for a bit #lizard #reptilesky

The daily #roadrunner always brings dinosaur vibes especially when zooming in to the eye. #birds #birdsky, late Summer. #Tucson

And no matter what, he will always be at an #ethical disadvantage. Mark #Zuckerberg is one of the most #broken people in public life.

Hey #birdsky it’s so nice to be friends with Roadrunner.

Hey #filmsky you know the scene from back when there were consequences, back in the before times. Via @svengoolieofficial.bsky.social “The Bad Seed” 1956

Doing chores in #Tucson just like this very big guy

Many people may feel this way today.

The Time Machine (1960) may be the likeliest predictor of our future. And the Morlocks are… blond

This is how we got the Morlocks.

So Kash loved Charlie Kirk so much that he was tweeting about the investigations from dinner at an exclusive restaurant? #kashpatel

I didn’t realize Kash had Viking heritage… but don’t you have to be more than a podcaster to get to… #valhalla

I thought the name of this song was “Stonehenge,” not #Valhalla. God, let this week end.

I stumbled across this simple and powerful tool for measuring dignity. We don’t have to all love each ofher, but we must respect each other or this whole thing falls down. It’s a good way to close out this day. www.dignity.us/index #dignity

From the road up Mount Hopkins, you can see all the way to Baboquivari, and to the border with Mexico #arizona

Me and the boys went exploring on Mount Hopkins to forget everything else #metalsky #grief

I had to get out on an unpaved road today, the one to the Whipple Observatory on Mt. Hopkins. #arizona

Who really deserved the honors. What she really deserved was to live. #assassination

So @npr.org turns the other cheek by providing respectful coverage of Charlie Kirk’s death. I’m noting how that never happens when a liberal is attacked or killed.

It says so much about our country that people don’t take time to acknowledge such a tragic event. #WTC

Never Forget this day and all the victims in NY/DC/PA: 9/11/01. As a New Yorker, who was in Manhattan on that tragic day, I know I will never forget how that whole day unfolded. 🙏💜🙏💜🙏

Why did this post hit hard? Because in this moment where it all feels so fraught… there is no one to talk with in this way. It’s very lonely.

The lost world. The hinge on which we turned to darkness #WTC #NYC

Finally a brave person says what is felt.

“And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place… if you will not obey these words, I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.” - Jeremiah 22

I remember when politicians crossed party lines in times of grief. I also remember the resounding silence from the other party when the Hortmans and Gilbert the rescue pup were murdered.

And it’s not just Sonic, my friends, that isn’t allowed to cry.

I just realized, it’s not that “conservatives“ don’t care about progressive or liberals. We simply don’t exist. Not as equals. Not as people. We are un-people to them. #melissahortman

Here’s a political figure who never encouraged violence against anyone. She and her husband and her sweet pup apparently didn’t merit the lowering of flags. One is still lowered in my heart. 🇺🇸

Hey #filmsky Tron:Ares is nigh, bringing us new 4K goodness #tron

Who has seen The Toxic Avenger??? Hoping to catch tomorrow #filmsky

…and rereading On The Beach. The way the characters know the end is in sight as they try to go on living. It feels particularly poignant right now. The innocent pay for the exploits of the powerful. #coldwar #nukes

The stress must be getting to me… because I’m watching nuke movies. “By Dawn’s Early Light,” 1990 #filmsky #coldwar
