Cheers to Aston Martin for minimizing their carbon footprint by completing fewer laps.

I believe that killing people is bad no matter where they live or what the color of their skin is

β€˜No Reason He Should Have Died’: Alex Pretti’s Parents Open Up

Alex Pretti's parents keep a box crammed with 200 letters and cards that have poured into their Denver home since their son was shot and killed by immigration agents.

"He's my first born," Susan Pretti said. "He's the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day."

HEARTBEATS by The Knife is one of those songs that you hear once and it immediately gets lodged in your brain forever. The drum groove is so simple but so satisfying. And the bass line is one of the greatest ever recorded.

I have decided to become a chillwave band. Need to figure out a way to send an email back in time to some 2007-era tumblr blogs.

Why on earth would a pdf reader make you dig into a menu to β€œenable scrolling”? Scrolling should be the default!

I sat down to practice drums yesterday but improvised a loose cover of Leyendecker by Battles instead. This album is almost 20 years old, but to me, it still feels like an unrealized future. Things are way worse now than I would have predicted in 2007.

2025 was dark but we're clawing our way through

out with the power trippers and bigots tearing families and communities apart

in with glockenspiel and fuzz bass making stochastic, beautiful noise

here are two offerings featuring humans playing instruments and mourning our death march

After Donations, Trump Administration Revoked Rule Requiring More Nursing Home Staff

SCOOP: Nursing home companies donated $4.8M to Trump's super PAC in Aug-Sept.

Their executives landed a lunch in Aug. with Trump at his NoVa golf club where they asked him to revoke a rule to increase staffing to prevent patient neglect.

His administration revoked the rule a few months later.

Well, LPSC has a history of doing strange things with LPSC abstracts (like disappearing them if they think the current regime would disapprove of them) soooooooo

My hacking suggests root cause is how Cloudflare handles the Google Scholar indexer; the USRA abstract database is now being served out of Cloudflare. Seems like a setting switch is possible if USRA/LPI wanted to fix this.

Yeah LPSC abstracts being counted in Google Scholar is a metrics cheat code

Yeah EBSCO seems to be inventing journal articles that don’t exist!

The Blewett Lunar Vertex LPSC abstracts are not published in Meteoritics and Planetary Science, for instance. Unless I’m missing something, @planet-daveb.bsky.social ?

Yeah for me its trying to attribute LPSC abstracts to journal publications that don’t exist. Weird!
