I spent a summer working at an archaeological dig in Trapper's Creek, Alaska. The post office was our lifeline - being able to send express letters & communicate with family and friends (and ask for more of the good kind of bug spray) was essential. I'm sure USPS lost money on every delivery there.

This is delightful.

Behind every case in “Multiple Visions: A Common Bond” is Alexander Girard’s keen eye for detail and storytelling. Did you know that “river water” in the African River Scene and Harbor Scene is rippled glass salvaged from old shower doors? #ForTheLoveOfGirard #FunFacts #GirardWing #SupportArt

Will this be enough to get Schumer to shut shit down? I doubt it, but one can dream.

Post a female character that you love!

In case you're wondering how things are going in my school district. And on a work device, which are subject to records requests. Good lord. I hope he gets fired: www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n... #NM

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

The first delightful entry has landed in my inbox. We’re halfway through the month, how’re we all getting on? (Second skeet has the rules btw) #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

Just scheduled an MMR booster for 11am tomorrow. www.krqe.com/news/new-mex...

Just finished up and submitted my entry! After waffling a bit on which song to use, I went back to one of the first few albums I bought on CD, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness", and used a song from that. No spoilers, but here's a tiny little teaser picture. #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

And heads-up to NM folks as well - just got a press release from my school district that the first case has been identified in Lea County.

New Bork just dropped.

Rose are red, violets are blue, lawyers resigning, we're having a coup.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

I really hope everyone says no. And it's beyond pathetic that the 6 people who have already resigned isn't even a story on the front page of the @washingtonpost.com and is below the fold on the homepage of the @nytimes.com. Just pathetic.

Happy Valentine Day everyone ! The polyamory marine will have a very busy day. #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity

Oh FFS.

Why did no one tell me that “Flower” is available on iOS?!?!? This game is the entire reason I bought a PS3. Excuse me while I go purchase something…

As a timeline cleanse, I am sharing these valentines my kiddo made. I think I identify with Caream most. (More in the comments)

Oh no. US folks, stock up if you can. This is going to kill people.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Without downloading new pics/vids, where are you mentally?

The #2 official at the United States Department of Justice literally gave the Stringer Bell "is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" warning to the Manhattan prosecutors pursuing the Eric Adams case.

Well, not going to Louisiana any time soon. Shame, because it’s one of a handful of states I’ve still never been to.

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

Pathetic. I am once again disgusted by my country. Get your vaccinations now, folks. Gift link, which I'll keep sending until my subscription runs out: wapo.st/3QgnosB

More of this, please.

In a continuing “Fuck You!” to Trump and his bullshit EO about education, I’d like to introduce you to my “Computer Scientist of the Week”, Dr. Joy Buolamwini @poetofcode.bsky.social This is the video I show and discuss with my class: youtu.be/TWWsW1w-BVo?...
