I don't want an AI assistant to "help me keep track of information from across the web" I just want everything I follow to have an RSS feed 😢

The reason the government wants to deport people without due process is that due process would reveal that many of them are here legally.

So, dumb kid trying to raise clout with his friends shares some mil specs on Discord…court martial. SecDef shares military plans with friends and reporter on Signal…crickets. Did I get that right?

Time is running down on my day. Still to do: Trash & recycling out. Clean up car interior. Clean up odds & ends from darkroom move. Scan newly developed film. Develop one last roll b/c I finished it today & I’ve never developed the same day I shot it. Plus daily chores & maybe clean master […]

This week Sunday is my Sunday and Monday is my Monday. No complaints; it only happens once every 2 months.

Moving the darkroom upstairs after too long dormant. I haven’t worked out the enlarger yet, but 3 rolls of 120 are hanging to dry.

One of the things I love about Zoom meetings is that I can enjoy a beverage while watching. Tuckerman Dawn Patrol Double IPA. Great stuff, but I haven’t drunk much lately. Going straight to my head. Good thing I’m just a viewer.

If your system allows an "Edit" function, it should not fail with a "this record already exists" message. That's the whole point of editing. Looking at you, NH #EZPass. Now I have to delete and reload a bunch of records to fix your mistake? Nah, never mind. It's close enough.

Only in the modern age does the phrase “Mr. Carson bumped into Scruffy and now they’re both sending me errors” make sense.

Day 1 off. Sammie and Tilly are helping me eat lunch. 3D printer is chugging along on next project. Model VW bus needs some detail paint and one part reprinted. Really need to run the rug cleaner.

It’s not quite warm enough for the motorcycles, but I may get the bus out this week. Salt is mostly gone.

I moved my clock and phone around on my night stand and I’ve slept like crap ever since. Will have to swap them back tonight and see if things improve. I’m not high maintenance, but my brain gets weird about telling time in the middle of the night.

Seriously considering doing the Boston Marathon midnight bike ride this year. Sounds like fun, and I’m off duty the next day.

I was passed by something I think was a 1980s Holden this morning, but it was wearing Chevy badges. Didn’t get a pic and didn’t notice which side the steering wheel was on. Definitely wasn’t domestic tho, despite the badging. I really need to get a dashcam in the Crosstrek.

Took the Bronica S2A out for a spin this afternoon. Haven’t shot it in quite a while and it is a **tank.** I always enjoy it though. Didn’t quite finish the roll, and I don’t know when I’ll get to develop, but the photo walk was worth it.

I watched the collapse of communism as a youth. I’m living through the collapse of capitalism now. I don’t have answers. I doubt I’ll live to be old enough to see what finally works. I’m rooting for some sort of middle socialist democracy, I guess. Europe seems to be at least failing more […]

“Oracle OCI can cut your cloud computing bill in half!” Let’s see, there’s $9/mo to host my Mastodon instance… $60/yr if you count my Proton account… Another $60/yr for the other mail server… I don’t think I’m their target audience.

Look, I’m a Bostonian pedestrian. We cross the street whenever/wherever. We’ll face down a 4000lb death machine and make the driver yield to us. If you fill the city with self-driving cars, everything will stop moving. The city will be ours! Bring on the robotaxis; *they* should fear *us*.
