The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

My new hobby is looking for furniture on CL, and sometimes I search "Wooden Duck" (for non-Bay Areans, that is a defunct store that had cool stuff). Last night I found this and it was the unhinged laughfest that I needed at that moment -- "very solid duck" is now in the household lexicon:

I had no idea Lehrer came out of retirement for one night in 1998. Imagine not performing for 25 years and still being this locked in.

Tired: a Mike Leigh-helmed Bond movie. Wired: a Mike Leigh vs. Peter Greenaway arm-wrestling contest, hyped up for months in a multimedia frenzy akin to the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight.

I demand satisfaction. The word "delve" has been purloined from my vocabulary by rapacious LLMs. I am joined in this action by JRR Tolkien's ghost, who adds that ChatGPT "scraped too greedily and too deep" and must answer for despoiling our prose.

18 days left of dark? ONLY 18 days! Everyone! Run outside right now! You need to absorb as much cold and gloom as you can to carry you through those hot, sunny days in August.

Moving every molecule I own from one house to another has me alternating between high-level adulting and occasional toddler meltdowns (I don't WANT to put my toys away, and I can't find my favorite $thing, and I'm overtired but won't sleep)

It's Pie For Breakfast Day! I'll be having pumpkin. How do you celebrate? Hoping @emckean.bsky.social can share how a folktale/prank developed Chez Erin (and then H. learned more) 🥧💖

I had an intensely meaningful time this week at @aspirationtech.bsky.social's #npdev conference, jammed with details I'll be unpacking for ages, and right now the one making me grin is my fresh @zotero.bsky.social install - getting Linux running on my Chromebook took 15min, even while sleep deprived

if the writers were planning on dropping an obscure Iowa poll that's historically always been correct, & that miraculously has Harris up by +3, in the penultimate episode, shouldn't they have planted the seeds for this plot twist in earlier episodes?!? 🤔

My Loomlight 16 system is done! This #Teensy driven LED system lights up the shafts of a 16 shaft table #loom to make #weaving easier. It reads .wif files from an SD card and has little flippers on each side that let you advance the pattern.

If you wanted to make an actually good corporate decision that would nonetheless have the worst possible optics, you couldn't beat this. Capacity that wouldn't otherwise exist or compete with capacity building elsewhere. But association with disaster day one. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Unimpressed by Trump's opening salvo, the Swifites have maneuvered their fleet across his T and commenced their broadsides. Unsurprisingly, Swift's deep catalog of call-out music provided shot perfectly matched to the Harris/Walz "they're weird and definitely not OK" strategy.

Tell me you're in Portland without telling me you are in Portland: I was standing in front of a vegan cheese shop, across the street from the high school that was converted into bars and event space (where Ted Leo will play on the 30th!), when the naked bike ride passed me #xoxofest
