I just heard one yesterday for the first time in my area (western Washington)!

Foggy morning in Olympia. #PugetSound #Olympia

Funny. Seems like the kind of quote that might motivate some people who have a different view about what you’re doing, doesn’t it?

Knew a guy who used to call people he didn’t like “sh***ers”. Never understood it till later. There are people whose sole goal seems to be to run around and just take a steaming dump on other people’s joy. These are the Sh***ers.

It’s this kind of post that makes me sad to find getting the like button repeatedly doesn’t in fact add more hearts.

Nice! Looking forward to reading it! Ten years after and I'm still thinking about Evolution.

Cover of book "Rendezvous with Rama" by Arthur C. Clarke

First book started and completed in 2025. "Rendezvous with Rama" by Arthur C. Clarke. An older one (1973) but holds up really well. And it's nice to read a book that doesn't fall into all the normal Sci-Fi tropes. Skillfully written. #ArthurCClarke #books

DEI has become shorthand for the right to say “a white straight man would have been better at this”

Don’t worry about it. I’m not going to pursue the discussion any further. It was replying to my reply when you asked about things that were non-controversial. I made this account to be stress free so am not going to continue up the thread.

Umm... no. At worst they are AI-neutral.

Capitalism. It’s all capitalism. The pursuit of endless, ever increasing profit causes a ceaseless drive to add features, monetize everything, and find more and more ways to squeeze out every last penny from consumers. Make everything a subscription. End ownership of products.

I have thought about trying to create a distributed social media app, using public/private keys as a means to try and deal with the main things I hate about social media: Servers cost money, and to make that money they need advertising money.

I got myself a custom stamp! (Don’t worry this is my loaner copy. I have a separate personal copy of my favorites. I am a serial book loaner.)

I really like the guys at Corridor Crew. They seem to be fairly free of conflict.

Yeah and it’s barbed like a spear too!

Woodpeckers have Zygodactyl feet. Unlike many birds that have 3–forward and 1-back claw arrangements (Anisodactyl), they have two forward and two back. This helps them stay attached to the vertical surfaces of trees as they peck on them.

I don't think we learn enough on the internet these days.
Tell me a fact.
Then retweet so your friends can tell me a fact too.
Thanks.

I just make separate account for things. This account mostly likes phots of animals and some comics. Any opinions or political stuff is a completely separate account.

I have finally “deleted” my FB account. I put it that quotes since I have no confidence my data will actually be purged but at least I won’t be adding to it any more.

Honestly in this age the “crafting” of identity is almost a full time pursuit. But it is also largely free. I have multiple emails and social media accounts and carefully curate how I behave under each. Easy to just walk away from one. Of course none of these are myJOB so that’s easy for me to say

I am from Earth and totally not from an area near Betelgeuse.

Washington state lands nearly $50M for Portland-Seattle-Vancouver high-speed rail Trains would run at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour

I keep telling people Cascade HSR is going to happen.

The Pacific Northwest is constantly overlooked and underestimated.
