lightning and thunder!!!!

Found a new tamale shop with this painting on the wall, I will be back

It is elegant

it went over 60 today. long walk in a t shirt.

just got an email addressed to a bunch of people—academics with an interest in media—inviting us to check out an ongoing project about how to use AI for textual analysis. just shoot me.

stole but who can blame me. what a heartwrenching portrait of oppression.

There is a right answer

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

gas at tops isn’t much more than at bj’s. i canceled my bj’s membership (meant to do it last year but they tricked me by autorenewing a month before it expired). but tops is only .10 more and right near me, so given how much (little) i drive, should be ok even if we’re heading into 1974 #interesting

dreamed about the best sweet pepper i’d ever tasted. i gave a piece to an old friend and said try this and she agreed. it was crazy

if i were henry viii i would get as fat as possible and marry whoever i wanted

nothing says downtown Portland 2026 like the abandoned shopping center that was boarded up bc it had become an open air fent market then given a mural that says COMPASSION because it got covered in graffiti finally having barbed wire strung above the COMPASSION mural to prevent ppl camping inside ❤️

not looking i swear

Sous les pavés, panneaux solaires chinois

most of my online searches produce wikipedia. it’s not just that the wikipedia entry is one of the top results, and the one i always choose (if there was a wikipedia browser that let me type in the address bar i’d use it), but the AI summary is typically word for word, or almost, from the W article

Thinking of starting a sex cult but every good name is already taken by heartburn medicine

saw the most incredible moon tonight

since 10/7/23 my (very elderly) uncle has gone from calling me unforgivable for saying genocide was on the table to “ government deteriorated to the lowest level of immorality, racism and inhumanity. I never dreamt I will be ashamed to be an Israeli.”

Translucent fungus oozed out of a little stand of black cherries with all the rain we had. Not sure what species it is yet

mustelids near me. my friend posted some photos from the woods by his farm including bald eagle, fox, and fisher—the fox and the fisher have a short showdown (alliteration alarm) over a deer carcass (fisher wins). but i can’t show you cuz it’s on facebook but still i thought i should mention it

chaos reigns <3

they're putting a border wall through big bend, which is a dark sky sanctuary. u guys can sign this if u feel inclined

please note paws

thinking about doing what my long ago ex used to call a “newsout"

“A bill under consideration by the New York state legislature would prohibit artificial intelligence-powered chatbots from providing legal or medical advice, and it would allow users to sue chatbot owners who violate the ban.”

I just can't with this birb

they should make a player for mp3s

cheese toastie

what if i were to tell you there is no central command

Presenting my new short film: “butt rubs”

training my replacements since 1964

peekaboo

one of the things about all the so-called industries that are left in the US, like tech and health care, is that they make so much of their money from government dollars. and ofc all the tech and med knowledge was developed with gov $$. it could all just be in the public sector

it fucking snowed again. just when things were really starting to get cleared out

my most favorite moon pic i ever took, goodnight

determined to watch this pot until it boils

Children's menu at the Gainesville airport

i am not happy

I'd like to see some bipartisan cooperation on eating shit and dying

god i suddenly remembered that sweet student who said he’d decided to make his career in the military. i tried gently to dissuade him and he said his parents did too, i really hope they were successful (or at least that he’s still in school and not in uniform).

yeah i’m here hi

this looks convenient

feeling bothered by the idea of cats having “vestigial” thumbs. wikipedia says they aren’t thumbs because they aren’t opposable, and they have evolutionary uses in some cases, but also should in some cases be viewed as “vestigial.” are cats descended from primates? what is going on here? nvm

share if you agree

the furthest white line is the edge of the ice, and we’re already a mile north of town

the temp has soared to 40 and there’s bright sun, i would be justified in taking a walk without my coat

this organization is a model for family abolition, for the post family horizon. it’s not that elephants can’t be good “moms,” it’s that a large network of connections unbound by genes—to the point of being different species—is incredibly rich, can provide so much, and is strong, powerful

thing about the buffalo killing is that so so many people are implicated. mayor racing to condemn broad swath of federal gov, which is obvs huge, but local institutions even members of the public had the chance to intervene. lack of social fabric.
