I think we've gotten so beaten down by the relentless media doomscroll that we keep thinking this is just how things have to be, when in fact there are super easy, known ways to change it, and we are quite capable of doing it. Just being reminded of that can be helpful now and again

My dad’s right. If you swap “and low it came to pass” for “I shit you not,” the Old Testament is a much better read.

Hear, hear! I started baking our bread because I hated that store bread always came in at least two plastic bags. Our fave is King Arthur Flour's Vermont Whole Wheat Oatmeal Honey Bread with the WW flour at about half the total measure; it's a hearty all-rounder for sandwiches and toast.

This is entirely wrong for Massachusetts which is the home of Cummington: a town that has a mineral named after it, the famous Cummingtonite. Felchville, come fight me.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

my advice to everyone is just make something analog, doesn't matter what, just create something new with your hands and brain doesn't need to be inspired, doesn't need to be good even- just making something flips switches in your brain and makes life better

Glad you're better, Bill. My mom caught Hep C sometime in the 80's from a transfusion, and it did a number on her liver for years before she got treatment a few years ago. Six months, then gone! Not a whiff of it afterwards, and her liver has rebounded surprisingly well. Yay science!

New privacy policy is in place for Meta today so we've switched our Instagram and Threads accounts over to Private to prevent use of Michael's art in training AI. We're considering next steps which includes deleting existing content there and leaving the platform altogether.

At least once AI has a PhD, there will be no jobs for it, people won't want to use it do other stuff because it's overqualified, its family will ask it why it bothered wasting its time getting one and politicians will decide we're spending too much money on it
