We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

Back on January 28 a Redditor downloaded a massive cache of CDC datasets (they say it's all the public datasets but I've not verified that). Over the weekend, they uploaded everything they had to Internet Archive: archive.org/details/2025... If you use CDC data and need access, go here first.

Panic and despair without an outlet can be self-destructive. Interrupt the doom spiral: -Do 1 self-indulgent thing that makes you feel happy or content. -Do 1 thing to make your home environment more calm or comfortable. -Do 1 thing to help your community and people in it. Repeat as needed.

We were just setting up a new Roku account for my 77-year-old mom and got to the screen where it suggested apps to add to the Home Screen and the top 2 suggestions were Newsmax and FoxNews. So infuriating!

It’s Friday night. Turn off the news this weekend. Avoid politics. Have dinner with friends and family. Play board games. Go for a nice walk. Watch a romcom. Eat food that’s bad for you and terribly delicious. Ban nonsense from your weekend. Friendly advice. 💜

We’re fostering my mom’s dog after moving her from Mississippi to Texas where she can’t have a pet his size. Here’s his Adopt-a-Pet profile, if anyone in the Houston area (or within a few hours) is interested in a great dog. www.adoptapet.com/pet/43523295...

If you had told me when I was 12 (heck, 40 even) that this food was something I would willingly eat, much less cook for myself, I would have called you crazy! Recipe is “Unstuffed” Cabbage Soup from the original Skinnytaste Cookbook.

Incredible image of a spider web glistening with rainbow hues, created by light refracting through its silk threads. The colors are a result of light wave interference, much like the vibrant patterns found in soap bubbles or oil slicks! 📸: Stephen Dunn

There is a crew cutting down our Chinese sweet gum tree. The freeze a few years ago finally did it in, & we've had several large limbs fall. Best to do this now before someone gets hurt or someone's property gets damaged. I'll miss its glorious fall colors. Here's a picture from several years ago.
