Cold lake is squelching the convection. We're not far enough south to see decent activity.

The homeowner in me is relieved.

The weather enthusiast is sad.

I see we're going to play another round of "I need my glasses to find my glasses".

Classic WTF: The Complicator's Gloves It's a particularly busy week for me: on top of a few looming deadlines, I'll be at Business of Software 2008 in Boston. So, I figured it'd be the perfect opportunity to revisit some classics. The Com...

Every time I read about self-driving cars or electric vehicles or any of the other patchwork solutions to the fundamental problem of our sprawling, poorly designed built environment, I remember the story of The Complicator's Gloves.

Disability Day of Mourning is a day dedicated to grieving disabled people who’ve been killed by their caregivers.

The people we entrust to keep us safe are often the ones most likely to hurt us.

Why? Because ableism is violence but the non disabled don’t see it that way.

Not for nothing…

JFC you guys — do better.

He literally shrugged and said “…that’s the way it is…”

Highly recommend maintaining your bookkeeping every month. Otherwise, you end up doing it all manually at the end of the tax year and yelling "WTF" every 5 minutes.

Colin Jost: "This attack might be a bad idea, I don't know. I'm not really an expert on Iran. So let's hear from someone who can explain why we might have done it." 😂

...trying hard to avoid saying "careless".

I don't comment on a lot of things to keep my space here safe for people who rely on the positive notes while avoiding things that are causing them harm; I trust y'all generally know how I feel about things.

Anyway today is a good day for self care. Be kind to yourself please.

Whew... made it!

Donate to Help Cat & family seek out new life, new civilizations, organized by Cat Bailey Hi there! I'm Cat, a very nerdy single mom to two teens and some cat… Cat Bailey needs your support for Help Cat & family seek out new life, new civilizations

I spent a year trying to avoid asking for help. But my kids, cats, and I are about to be homeless. No car anymore.

I have a plan to keep my family safe, but I can't do it alone. Even a repost helps.

It is Friday, right?

Watching Unstoppable (2010) again for like the 20th time.

Reminds me of my Skylark. Loved that car.

As a late-middle-aged suburban white guy I am probably not Bad Bunny’s target audience. Hadn’t heard him before. Liked it. Wasn’t, like, I’m going to stop listening to opera and Bon Jovi and the Cars and stuff and but I would definitely listen again, and I can’t see how anyone would DISLIKE it.

Sorry Pats fans, but no. For several reasons.

The dragging she took in the replies was what I needed with my coffee this morning.

Sarah Kendzior on Trumpland’s Criminal Distortions of American Reality It is common to hear that Americans no longer inhabit a shared reality. To a large extent this is true, especially in an era of social media manipulation, but we did not share a reality in simpler …

From THEY KNEW, excerpted here in 2022: "It became reasonable to believe that a critical mass of people in power were either criminals, pedophiles, or traitors, or that they were being blackmailed, bribed, or threatened by a criminal, pedophile, or traitor."

Before Keith Porter, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti… ICE killed a father after he dropped his kids off at school.

We didn’t hear much about it because he was undocumented.

They said he was trying to flee & shot him in the back of the neck.

Silverio Villegas-González.

Don’t forget him.

WTF, connections...

Fuck--and I mean this with all the sincerity I can muster--"cloud gaming"

Stop saying underage women.
They are children.

There's a presumption of good faith here that seems...overly generous

I kinda wish he'd feel at least some shame, but I don't think he has the capacity.
