A few years ago, on the second leg of a flight home crossing the continent, I sat for a couple hours on a plane that couldn’t depart due to unspecified mechanical problems. I found the soundtrack to Come From Away on that flight, and bonded with this track immediately: youtube.com/watch?v=w6FB...

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹

This video has been killing me for like half the day now

Lemme boost this for you, hopefully someone who can make that happen for you will see it 🤞🏽

After a couple days of setup, I’ve finally got the newest batch of mead up and started, which I’m calling Half Ginger Hibiscus. Why “half ginger”? Of the two gallons of mead, which by water weight would have been around 16 pounds, half that weight was fresh ginger. This baby is SPICY

Considering plugging my phone directly into the audio output of a computer, playing Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”, hitting the Record Voicemail Greeting function, and just letting it roll

This is exactly how I love

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

This too will pass. Pass like a kidney stone.

Hey I love being queer, in spite of everything, which is a lot to be in spite of so I think it bears repeating

The straits are not okay.

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today. You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: [email protected]

All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

A third copper rose! This is a further iteration of the process, this time ensuring that the copper itself was very well cleaned before heating for the patina. I’m incredibly satisfied with the color on this one. Guest appearances by roses 1 and 2.

The only version of this song I will honor

I’ve got about 8.5 pounds of fresh ginger peeled and minced, which I plan to brew with hibiscus… but I can’t decide if I want to make two gallons of ginger hibiscus mead, or one each of a mead and a cider. Maybe just the mead now, and later a cider?

Not gonna say I’m rolling 1’s across the board today, but I’m sure as hell losing skill checks and saving throws today, and I haven’t even been awake for two hours, jeez.

Need a little chaotic gift? Stealth one of these at a friend’s place. Find a random metal surface, stick it on, and wait patiently for the confused “WTF?” message months later.

♫ These boots stomped Stephen Hawking And trampled Kanye too Now be a pet And lay on down So I can walk on you ♫ The alternatives in the rhyming scheme were “Gaga” or “Gandhi” instead of “Kanye”, or maybe just “And Pocahontas too”, but there comes a point where it’s already silly enough.

The next time I decide to pick up a brand-new skill, say for example video editing, on unknown software, and kludge together Baby’s First Video Slideshow at 10pm the night before it’s due, please remind me that technically accomplishing the task is not the same as doing so well, or wisely.

Big this. In fact, given that we know dear leader feeds off of ratings, one of the small things we can do tonight within each of our own control is to take back our attention and focus on other things. If you don’t need to be watching it, you can read about it afterwards, that’s my plan.

Oops, I need to make a quick slideshow video documenting the construction process of one of my pendants. Any recommendations for easy-to-use programs? Ideally, taking some jpegs, setting time on screen, and basic transitions to the next slide.

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling. If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I made a second copper rose! This one was a change in process, with each row of petals starting as a circle cut into five petals and joined in the center. Took a couple attempts, but I patinated it in pink using the borax Niiro method. Rose 1 on the left; newest, pink copper rose on right.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

A little birdie told me it’s a certain fox’s birthday today. Happy birthday fox; I hope you’ve got a good beer in store for today!

I made Irish Soda Bread: Rum Raisin Edition (Teacake Variant). Soaked a quart of raisins in rum and raspberry liqueur overnight, then baked these two astonishingly wet loaves for something like 75 minutes. I do hope they turn out tasty. Guest appearance by two yams destined to become home fries.
