Once upon a time my entire life revolved around politics, I’m much happier now

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

My four favorite books I read this year, I think. Not sure of the order but North To The Future probably number one
North to the Future by Ben WeissenbachBlank on the Map by Eric Shipton Under the Red Sea Sun by Edward EllsbergThe Sun is a Compass by Caroline Van Hemert

I paddled the John River in the Brooks Range and we went past where the Ambler Road would go. It’s a deeply wild place and we paused there to imagine what it would be like to hear a truck. These natural resource issues aren’t always easy but we have to have places where humanity doesn’t come first.

Measles spreading aside, what a wild itinerary for somebody visiting Seattle. The "brewery to spicy Sichuan to gym" afternoon/evening is a bonkers order to hit those establishments in.

I'm voting to make @alexjbond.bsky.social, his family, and no one else build schools. It's about time they got to work!
Political sign saying "only bonds build schools"

There is something so sweet about the human capacity for enthusiasm. For a few days everyone in LA has been glued to Watch Duty and getting in the weeds of how water drops work. Now there are people out here who honestly have a favorite water plane that they are following closely and rooting for.
An Instagram post of a screenshot someone took of a water planes “stats” i.e. how many drops it’s made and its ground speed etc.

This is a great and well-researched article, but it might not be surprising to many of us. I struggled a lot with loneliness in 2020-22 (I’m naturally an introvert so the pandemic made it easy) and getting back a social life was really important to my happiness, but it’s still not like it once was.

For thousands of years, humans have looked up at the night sky with fear, wonder, and the belief that stars were gods, ancestors, or great omens. I think it's kinda fun that the grandeur of galaxies can still evoke that response today

If I were president I would issue an executive order requiring Gus Johnson to call every important game
