U of M profs gene sequenced a corn dog. Guess what they found: cow, wheat and corn.
Happily, they discovered no evidence of dog — or anything else unsavory. #food

I am not a fan of #fireworks and wish officials who set at least some restrictions for distances from houses and noise would enforce them so people get the message. Also, stores should stop selling them in bulk.

Discovered last night that my Dad can't really grasp the basic workings of a laptop. He only uses my old Mac for email and web browsing now and has a hard time seeing the screen. Wondering if an ipad isn't a better choice for him. Less options would be better. He doesn't even use a smart phone.

I am 💯for large scale adoption of green energy and EVs. Full stop.
It’s silly to complain those things are “polluting” in comparison to the old options. You can’t get a perfect solution but the tech will improve. Stop with the ridiculous excuses. Even expense isn’t a sound blanket excuse anymore, all things considered.

2024-05-28 23:20:54

When some new eager contributor appears in a social setting, a few people give praise even if the content is really not special, even if it's outright BAD.
To say nice things about mediocre stuff is acceptable and lauded. However, to express a modicum of dislike is not. So, we end up with... enshittification of a podcast, forum, website, feed, etc.. This is a biased, bad system.

2024-05-28 14:25:07

This is outrageous. Typical for these self described “moral” religious activists. Liars, bribers and cheats. And they will continue to get away with it because of our ridiculous deference to Judeo-Christian philosophy in the US.

My new-used Chevy Bolt EV had a strange knocking noise. So we researched and found it was in need of a software update. Took it in and paid $165. Fixed it. Honestly, Tesla would have done this over the air, no charge.
I'm kinda pissed but... whatever. Teslas were ahead of the sad EV curve.

It was quite. the. day. I wish I could tell you, but I'd get in trouble for sharing gov't secrets (not really). Just a pile-on of work and family stress - good and potentially bad.

I had two people ask me to contribute to their big project/event. When I was running a bit behind on my timeline, I made sure to ask for an extension. They said "sure"! Then I gave them my work that I spent LOTS of time on. After "Thanks" there are months of silence. This pisses me off and I'm less inclined to participate in these things again. The repeated disappointing results of collaborations with good intentions is wearing on me.

I've been Chrome-free for several months now. I don't miss it. #Firefox has all the useful extensions and add-ons I need.
I used to have a problem with Mastodon advanced web interface on Firefox but have not had an issue for several weeks.

It's that time of year when the plant nurseries start sending their Spring catalogs so you can start to plan your garden. One spends the winter longing for spring. #bloomscrolling #Gardening
I order a lot from Bluestone Perennials.

@npub156e…epw9 It’s a duck? I might guess that’s a cormorant.

I regularly get emails and messages from people who think I'm still interested in personally investigating (their) #paranormal claims and psychic powers. I'm not interested. I've seen more than enough. Maybe people are still using internet links circa 2010. I've evolved since then.

@npub1tps…9rmt There are lots of genuine Mexicans cooking authentic Mexican food outside of those areas.

Tom Nichols of @npub1fjp…3dyz blew it in this piece when he said (about Twitter): "The people who leave annoy me.. You don’t solve anything by going anywhere. You stay and you voice your objections"
Totally wrong. By staying and complaining (or just existing) you are propping up an awful, ruined platform run by a jerk. It's naive to think you are changing anything by staying. Only by strongly rejecting the nonsense by leaving do you make a point.

A bizarre mystery of a Russian who landed in L.A. from Copenhagen without a ticket or a passport. How did he get there? https://www.404media.co/no-record-of-russian-economist-who-flew-to-lax-without-a-ticket-didnt-remember-how-he-got-here/

I reiterate: #Texas leadership and lawmakers hate women. They prefer they suffer and die than have dignity, choice, and health rights. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/08/texas-abortion-lawsuit-ken-paxton/

@npub17hj…7a0r That pic is definitely a bear. But if you see it in the dark under stressful circumstances, you are far less likely to recognize it as one. Looks very strange. Even werewolf-like.

I’m watching this terrible show called “Monsters and Mysteries in America” about the various “dogman” sightings in WI and MI. I’m pretty convinced that these people had mangy bears roaming around; bears that were desperate for food that they ate roadkill and came close to people. #cryptid #cryptids #dogman

I got a message from a #spookygeology reader that there were #earthquake lights #EQL on video from the Philippines quake. #geology #seismology
The video shows the usual blue flashes that more likely are transformers exploding. But he insists the flashes were over water. (Doesn’t look like it to me.) Anyone have additional info? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZkoYjwLiBM

This fucking guy thinks he’s been called by his supernatural deity to be a hero. What an egotistical, overweening, pompous dumbass. Religion rots government for and by the people. That’s why our founders kept it out. This doofus didn’t learn that basic stuff about US history.

Everyday, I am thankful for #Mastodon. This is what I wanted. I just wish more organizations would realize it too.

I shouldn’t try to make decisions late in the evening after a messed up day. Everything seems overwhelming when I’m low on patience and bone dry on optimism.

I've finished my Pop Cryptids chapter. I love it and hate it, as with everything I write. Now, I need some distance from it. However, I've been invited to do a presentation on it for public consumption. I have a month to regroup.
