RETVRN

It’s hard to fathom that it’s been 10 months. It feels like yesterday & forever ago. I know there’s so much need & suffering that’s occured since the fire, this just happens to be the disaster that knocked me on my ass. I want to move on. Please help & share to end ❤️🙏$1310 to go gofund.me/030cb2632

A couple of pieces I'm working on in ceramics class yet to be glazed

I want to take a creative writing class

6,100 qubits got trapped by lasers, breaking the record for the largest array of qubits! The results bode well for quantum computing platforms made of neutral atoms. Hannah Manetsch takes us on a tour of the experimental setup! @caltech.edu www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij_c...

So, @microsoft.com added a new AI grammar editor in Outlook this week and it's complete garbage. Every one of its suggestions is wrong, and there's no way to turn it off.

Reader Emily Velasco reports that another driver has crashed into the Metro El Monte bike hub, apparently in the last few months.

Barbara Kruger explains it all

Hey, look, it's me!

You're looks great! Made a grandma pie tonight myself!

Yesterday morning, I received a couple of intriguing messages from a friend who commutes on the metro a lot. They wanted a device that could tell them if a seat pad is wet before sitting down.

People say "drive it like you stole it" and mean for you to drive a car fast and recklessly, but I think any professional car thief would tell you that you should drive a stolen car responsibly and in a manner that does not attract unnecessary attention.

God bless the grass That grows thru the crack They roll the concrete over it To try and keep it back The concrete gets tired Of what it has to do It breaks and it buckles And the grass grows thru! And God bless the grass - Malvina Reynolds

Made pizza from scratch tonight

Fake grass becoming real grass

All right, stranger, we're not uncivilized in these parts. We'll feed you dinner and you can stay the night in my barn. I just have two conditions. First you have to stay away from my daughter. Second, and most importantly, you're not to lay a finger upon my hucow.

Beep beep, cognac mobile coming through

@mle.bsky.social Your doing? Hahah. bsky.app/profile/matt...

A few months ago, a friend gave me her dad's old metal lathe. It had been gathering dust in her garage for over twenty years. It needed some work, but today, my friend and I finally got it in good enough shape to try latheing some things. It did great! Very exciting!

Hobie doing an excellent big stretch

Logged back on to this site after 16 months away and found that someone just four days ago replied to a post of mine from July of 2023 asking me to explain my opinion about something.

This is for the birders

I'm watching Oppenheimer in a few minutes to get out of the heat and because I'm watching Barbie with a friend on Monday. People who dressed for Barbie but couldn't get seats are trudging in here instead, adorned in their finest pinks for the bomb history movie

may the car gods continue to bless the club's communal gofer Pony

Sometimes being able to make things you need feels really cool. I'm going camping tomorrow and the bag for my tent just ripped, so I got out an canvas drop cloth and cut it up and sewed it into a bag shape, and made a drawstring for it out of some parachute cord and now my tent is ready to go

This place is suddenly feeling exactly like twitter, and not in a good way

You folx have been great, seriously, best hostages yet. If you check under your chairs you’ll find loaded guns, feel free to shoot me in the head in my way out but I don’t think you will, namaste

I miss my stolen bike but I am slowly starting to turn this new bike into a replacement

A street legal Acty. I need to know their secret

Time for a 4th of july watermelon margarita.... Frozen watermelon 2 oz tequila 1 oz triple sec 1 oz lime juice ... in a blender Drink while thinking of ways to make your country better instead of focusing on the bad stuff ... this one turned out pretty tasty

I bet you've never seen an egg shaped like a bean before

Fireworks are meant to exist briefly and disappear. When you post a picture of a firework you are undermining the artist’s ephemeral vision (1/85)

I'm testing out the cantern tonight along the river trail, which is mostly free of lighting, allowing me to actually see how well the headlight does

As a fun little gift for my birthday, one of my friends 3D printed me a model of the Ea-nāsir tablet. It's too hot this afternoon to work on my bike anymore so I am going to paint this instead. First it needs to be glued together into a single piece

I drove all the way across LA yesterday to buy a bike to replace my bike that was stolen and picked up this Vista Esquire. It's a lot smaller than my old bike, but it will be fine once I put a taller handlebar post on it. Now I just need to replace all the other accessories that were stolen

I was out riding around town testing out my cantern (diy bike headlight in a tin can) and a cop directing traffic around a car accident said, "that's a cool light!"

I just saw a pig-shaped balloon drifting high over the freeway, so I guess something improbable is about to happen

I'm getting ready for part two of the mold

comedy is legal, but don’t you dare call me a cisgender!

Hobie really loves my fire pit as a bed

I saw some of the other queers on here saying they're going to bully JK Rowling off if she ever shows up I'm going to bet right now that if she does and they bully her, Bluesky will side with her because they're trying to build a social network, not a club for queers and everyone's going to be mad

I made dinner

I read this as "a cummer!" when I first looked at it

History is littered with the remains of companies that decided they could take their users, customers, and employees for granted. They always think they're too big and too important for people to choose something else. They make the same mistakes over and over again and never seem to learn.

No one can stop you from writing rat-themed noir

It's time to make more blobs

Splurged on myself and got my nails done for my birthday
