Thanks for the tour! Looking forward to taking the new train up to Vancouver sometime 😄 @amtrakcascades.wsdot.wa.gov

Ok, so I use pine pellet litter for my cat instead of clay and for the most part it's great, but it is more work to clean. I have a sifting tray, which makes it somewhat quicker to separate the good pellets from the dust, but I'm thinking like a rotating mesh drum would be even better.

Does the new suit 'fuel low' warning irritate you like it does me? If it does, this mod fixes it: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... If it really annoys you and/or it annoys you that Keen think this is how it should behave, here's a feedback post to upvote: support.keenswh.com/spaceenginee...

So, I was watching this videos about finding the landspeeder from Spaceballs (youtu.be/y3U63r9bpbk) and I think the plates over the headlights might be the metal frames from a couple of 5.25" floppy drives. Could use a second opinion. #retrocomputing #movieprops #spaceballs

Irasutoya, Japan's popular free clip art library, has released its latest creation in honor of the United States President, Donald Trump. It's a clever play on TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) and the Japanese word タコ for octopus, which also means "idiot."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

@destiny2team.bungie.net something changed with the RSS feed on bungie.net so it now just has relative URLs in the <link> elements, which means the links don't work from RSS readers anymore. I think it changed sometime in the past week.

Screenshot of the RSS feed from bungie.net to illustrate the that <link> elements no longer contain fully qualified URLs

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
