abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Alarming how short the tails of this destructive trend in USA science research. Has anyone banded together to try to make the recovery at least half as fast? Nothing inherently necessary to USA research, except there are a lot of eggs in that basket. 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Wow - I really do believe the inner monologue going on here is, "person, woman, man, camera, tv." 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Despite a weird, neglected childhood under the non-supervision of his carny parents (hence Rutherford B. Hotdogs), he's the goto guy in silicon valley for rich guys wanting someone to find and restore VW vans for them. B is for Brian. 030
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I like the dramatic lighting, and then I thought did the original sculptor consider that type of lighting, and was that kind of lighting available to them and what was the lighting context this thing was found in and all this is the fun of seeing this object in my scroll at far too late an hour. 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I always envisioned the guy in the Pina Colada song getting a little cynical and becoming that cocky guy in Die Hard who tries to negotiate with Hans Gruber and gets shot. 110
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Songs of my childhood! I remember them well: Convoy (story about traffic infractions) Gypsies Tramps and Thieves (early gig economy tale) Pina Colada Song (character study of an annoying 70s guy) 100
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I LOVED my 30's (started with a total solar eclipse on Aruba and just got better after that.) And to mangle a cross stich saying : "Though my hair is getting grey, there's something to like in every day." Wow, that's more cloyingly sweet than the hard candies I now crave. 020
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 28/06/2026 I am hartbroken by the destruction in that part of the world. I mapped the Orinoco river delta, based on Margarita Island in 1998. I was struck by the way Trinidad looked just like its shape on the map, even from 10,000 km in the air. Hope to help Venezuela recover. 130
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I really like this, the window frames the outside and the lamp provides a framed field of illumination. 020
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 25/06/2026The picture and your description really vibes with me right now. I'll have to try to recreate this tomorrow am. 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Really good posts. Fun to revisit from the future. I remember how this was presented leading up to eruption, and then experiencing from the edges of the zone where this was a Really Bad Thing (fine dust film in Denver). Learned that we are still participants in a global ... globe. 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Because I can't remember the most famous thing about San Francisco weather. 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 28/04/2026It's why I have so many San Francisco sweatshirts. 210
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Did they use the big ladder truck? Our family always exclaimed, "they're using the Gronker!" when they pulled that out. Love a Gronker episode. Maybe they had it bat cleanup in a later episode. 020
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 16/04/2026The New Age of Plush Filth sounds like a great book title. Anyone who lived through the old age knows exactly the sensory melange that is plush filth. 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 06/04/2026New views triggering old memories of the excitement and interest (awe?) when I first perceived mountains and plains on the moon as a kid. Love this. 140
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Sigh - it's the Pisces-last time of year. Everyone has their turn, but still... 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Expecting him to work in a few words he's never said before to feed some friends in the prediction markets, but also, he will mispronounce one or more (having never said them before). This prediction I make not for money, but for ephemeral bluesky glory. 001
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Sincerely, that reminder is something I needed for some community organizing stuff I'm working on. Tip of the hat ... 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Imagine these posts collected and leatherbound and then cited by future supreme court justice Mr. Beast. 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 08/02/2026I used to think topside parties on luxury yachts would be scintillating exchanges and now, well... 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Damn, i think i have all of those at this moment. Heart of Romaine slime - does that count? Trying it out. Oh no. Maybe try those one at a time. Do i call police or DOT to get me off this exit sign on the 405? 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Look at Frogg Toggs. The inexpensive ones I got are a pants and jacket set that are meant to go over other clothes. 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 18/01/2026Then I went to the closed down Menlo Park office of the USGS. Very deserted, eerie and cool to see. The outdoor rock specimens have been removed (a good thing). The benchmark was emblematic. 100
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 18/01/2026... crappy municipal maintenance - but it was cool to see. This really is a great place to see plate tectonics writ small. A lot of the f a mous curb offsets, etc in Berkeley have been fixed because, well, people need to walk and drive on straight roads. 100
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 18/01/2026I went on a small self-guided Bay Area geology tour today. I went to Fremont Central Park to see the Hayward fault creep. An internet guide guided me to some curb offsets and echelon cracks, which you can see in the photos. It may seem like an inside joke, and this could equally be explained by 100
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Yes! His thing is just saying "I'm rich" If I'm generous, he helped renovate a skating rink once. That is if I (or anyone) is extremely generous. 020
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 19/12/2025It was always a cruel system. Swiss children of millionaires got in easily because of low numbers of applicants. Indonesians with problematic names - no chance. I thought they got rid of this a couple years ago. I submitted for my husband at least ten times. That being said, K. Noem is residue. 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 19/12/2025And the mom, in a subliminal 3 frames at the end of the movie. 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Wow, feels like three wolves howling at the moon on a t-shirt. Maybe a little too much, but I like it. 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Dr. Oz's doctorate is in home economics - it's all really just a matter of keeping an eye on those pennies (and penises). 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 09/12/2025"Remember, with my 51 percent stake you get my connections in the fake pubic hair and tweed jacket spaces - you won't get that from anyone else here." 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Sounds like something from a George Saunders short story. 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 17/11/2025I'ts worth the couple quarters to play, because at home, laying the monitor down at just below waist height so you can push up against that short end is a real hassle. 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 08/11/2025As long as the balloon animals are properly cooked, there is minimal chance of worms. 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 31/10/2025And yet the love among live bats is something that feels hard, but warm. "We appreciate you that have died, but it is you, my living, flapping kin, that makes my each echolocation chirp a binding ping of love." 000
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 31/10/2025Yes, yes - the situation in familiar. Oh, it's not me - but I know him. He's a doll. 100
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Knowing they are called "feeder crickets", that's good enough. I'd be calling them "some crickets for your lizard - for their, um, food." 010
abstractak.bsky.social @abstractak.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Or ads. It's like someone on the editorial side won the lottery and bought their paper. 010
