The rise of gen AI, backed at every level by the far-right, suggests the arrival of an _anti-information_ age. AI offers a self-reinforcing bullshit loop that, much like a Russian disinfo operation, serves to muddy the information space and create doubt about the very nature of reality.

It is snowing for the second day in a row. This feels Armageddon-esque.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

I can't emphasize enough if you're reading this and you're working on climate and energy-- if your coworkers are pacifying you into some sort of business as usual work plan or into figuring out compliance with the energy dominance regime, you are being pulled rightward at a fast clip.

Nicknames for the dog: Yo-bear, Yo-dog, Yo-doodle, Princess Pushy Pants, Little Sht Dog. Nicknames for the cat: Murder Cat, Sht-Cat, KitCat, El Gato Diablo, Menace, Mr. Fishy Face, Mr. Pushy Pants. Of the two, though, the cat loves on me more, and I admit that's growing on me.

Always, always on the line between "might be pretty/might be sht". sigh* Hoping for minimal freezing rain/ice accumulation because I already have 4,000 branches to clean up from Sunday's wind storm.

My heart still hurts thinking of all those who were harmed. Recovery efforts from this storm will remain ongoing for years to come.

ARGH. Apparently, I have one of the few generations of Kindle that is not compatible with the Libby app. I can still access and borrow/read through the browser, but it's definitely less than ideal.

I know a lot of people use 5calls, but I'd like to also remind folks of the CAN app, which makes it ridiculously easy to take daily actions related to climate efforts. If you're having sky-high eco-anxiety right now alongside your fight-the-fascists anxiety, taking action, even small action, helps.

I had a hard time thinking of what to post for #Februarty #BigandSmall today. I decided on the picture of my giant #boxturtle, Lox about to smash some plant (methane?) somewhere in Wyoming (or NM or CO) #turtle #photoart #artyear

This sort of thing is on my mind a lot, especially with the global trend towards authoritarianism, which appears to have some eco-fascist elements.

Every day lately is like being forced to eat a sh*t sandwich. If GSA is gutted, the private contracting sector will suffer, and consequentially, public services and infrastructure as well.

In response to headline “Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database” I want to re-emphasize that all these grants were public record and written in response to public solicitations supporting DEI content. No “uncovering” or “releasing” was done here

Okay, how are people fighting off depression right now with everything going on? You know, when the federal government is targeting you and your loved ones, and institutions, media, and businesses are falling in line?

Here to report this recipe is solid. I doubled everything for our crew EXCEPT the salt and pepper, which was already generous. Also threw in the entire can of cannelloni beans because I am lazy.
