Just a rock on a beach with light waves cresting before it.

@dow.bsky.social Dow kinda energy today.

Looks like my dogs in Phoenix today.

Wow. What a week it's been!

Oh, wait... It's only Tuesday???

My brain saw the picture before registering the words and I thought "McAfee?" Then when the words registered it was like "huh..."

So you won’t be at AI world next month?

<I will show myself out>

kinda expected to see "Nobel Prize" up there in the top ten.

Jobs numbers, RFK, etc., making me want to listen to a certain Red Rider song on loop.

Tom Clancy’s Angels and Demons

So cancel culture is ok now?

Ask the Williams Formula One team about spreadsheets… and then ask what’s the worst that could happen.

“It will be worse than you think.”

Fading from sight. Again. So much for double prints. GIK

Data nerds need to weigh in here… BLS wants good data only. How does that sound? Like a boss or end user that pisses you off? Can’t make good business decisions on shit data. Well, maybe that’s why the casino failed…?

@pipczar.bsky.social I always heard you say something to the effect of “up the escalator, down the elevator.” Seeing @hmeisler.bsky.social Saturday Chartfest it looks like we got off on a floor… the next step (still waiting) will be a doozy!

I know a lot of shit is hitting the fan these days but nothing on this platform about the Supreme Court allowing Orange to fire Consumer Product Safety Commission members? JFC. How long before we pull seat belts out of cars? This generation will learn about Mom's arm I guess. WTF... #TMIAFM

So it IS a real life version of Weekend at Bernie’s!

Try it! You’ll like it! (GIK)

Edit: worse. Worse than the old swamp. It is getting worse.

Meet the new swamp… same as the old swamp… drain must’ve been clogged.

How many people are truly shocked?

An old Twitter post showing the growth of a small Plumeria tree from April 2016 to May 2021

A picture taken today of the Plumeria tree today (July 8,2025). Compared to 2021, when the treetop was below the edge of the roof, the treetop is now over the edge of the roof.

I went back into the Time Machine and saw this so I thought it appropriate to update even though it’s only a 4 year interval…

How soon we forget. Recall in the first four years that people got fired by tweet? I guess we get world peace via tweet now too. What a wonderful world.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

In the 1986 comedy “The Money Pit” Tom Hanks’ character is told “Two Weeks” by his contractor who then maniacally laughs as he drives away.

The US is imitating art right now as Orange is still obsessing over Joe Biden.

It’s worse than we can imagine.

Get RFK to help out

Only if he reads his briefings. Maybe once they do the broadcast version he’ll get it…

Well now I have that awful jingle playing in my head. Argh

Finally getting back to coding, and I forgot how little I like Python. Think I’ll switch over to golang tomorrow for loading my data.

History, people! We’ve been here before. It’s in the history books. It’s in the music. Listen to CSNY, the song Ohio. ‘Tin soldiers and Nixons coming… four dead in Ohio’
Do we really have to all this shit again??? Wake the fuck up. This is stupid.

Picture taken from the back seat of a driverless Waymo from the left lane of a 3 lane roadway. Palm trees, cars, and a small mountain in the distance.

Waymo is fantastic!
