You can see the hostility…

That was a very clunky movie.

Yep, Team Shiitake. Pretty neat, the server thing.

Is there any chance that Congress can ask for a standard vetting as part of confirmation hearings, as the decision-making representative of the 'customer'? @aoc.bsky.social thoughts?

“Where is the National Guard?” 🧐 well lets see, that “ANG” on the tail means Air National Guard, and that particular C-130 (20547) belongs to the 152nd Airlift Wing of the Nevada Air National Guard. So … it’s right there.

Interesting read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Ursula K. LeGuin: "American science fiction has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women."

The Fourth Estate is supposed to speak truth to power, to shine a light on the things that might go unnoticed. When the words are bought by the highest bidder... John Mayer comes to mind. " 'Cause when they own the information, oh they can bend it all they want." 🧵 1/5

There is a reason why, shipboard in the Navy, only a small department is trained as police but every Sailor is trained in firefighting and basic damage control. 'Every Sailor a firefighter' is similar to 'every Marine a rifleman'.

Today's random article is on a Singaporean women's rights activist. #DailyWiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checha_...

This strikes me as a great time for those editors to get some anonymization help from some of the Dark Web ethical hacker community.

Rest in peace and power LT, Mr President. We have the watch. 🫡

The best thing we can do for those who blaze our trail is spread the word they find. For those who don't know it: the quote is from the track Rootless (by Sooj there, the person I'm quote skeeting). Have a listen. sjtucker.bandcamp.com/track/rootless

As a martial artist, a practitioner of kung fu - this is so spot on. We say, so many times, that the point is the journey, not the destination. So it is with life. Isn't the point of life the living of it, and not the death? Art mimics life mimics art.

As Musk is helping Trump push to conquer Greenland — a reminder from NPR: “Greenland has rare earth minerals (Trump/Musk) wants… key ingredients in smartphones, MRI’s, electric cars…” It’s not about “security”. It’s about greed. More: www.npr.org/2019/11/24/7...

Today's random article is about a historic district in southwestern Virginia. Not much to it - a church, a school, and a privy. #DailyWiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castler...

I don't own enough tracksuits to make this place work for me.

Ok I had to see this so now y’all do to: I just ran into someone touting the “skin benefits” of raw dairy on the basis that “dairy maids were known for their clear skin”. You guys. Dairy maids were known for NOT BEING POCKMARKED. You know why? They didn’t get smallpox as often.

Today's random article, a Peruvian moth. I tried to find photos and the closest I got was other members of the genus; posting that would be like posting a photo of a Neanderthal for homo sapiens. #DailyWiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antaeot...

Leftovers are a thing; reuse of leftovers to make something new is also a thing. There's entire cuisines based around reusing leftovers - fried rice comes to mind, but also a lot of the farm to table movement towards using the whole animal. 🧵 (1/3)

I don’t subscribe to the idea of "just a mallard." This Mallard hen is stunning—a true beauty! No wonder she had the drakes in a spin, bobbing and bumping into one another. #Birds #photography #usbird #birdphotography #NaturePhotography #BirdArt #stumpylake #mallard

I've definitely seen women get shunted into the admin parts of my career for some of the reasons they're talking about. @magickbarth.bsky.social Curious for your thoughts on this. The original thread is worth a look.

One of the hardest classes I took in college was Sociology of Immigration, because we had to look up all these diagrams and all the required forms, and remember what they were. It felt impossible. And that was kind of the point.

This is a pretty good prediction I think. TikTok would then get bundled with X the same way FB has Reels, IG and Threads. Cue amped up media war between Musk and Zuck.
