iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I hope bluesky never allows GIFs. I don’t want to discuss how to pronounce GIF ever again. I DO want to see everyone continue to post from their deep meme stash.

If anyone is interested in learning how to do this, or if you need some interesting background noise tonight, tune in starting 7pm PST. Zoom link on the page linked below or you can stream it live on the @sunnyvalemeetings youtube acct.

You can turn your beige suburbs into vibrant neighborhoods and communities. It feels REALLY good. Run for city council. I’ll help you.

Tonight, after FOUR years of planning, pre-meetings and study sessions, my city council will hear and approve (or not) the Moffett Park Specific Plan. The plan seeks to turn a big, ancient office park into 20k units of housing (15-20% below market) in a vibrant mixed use, walkable district.

I received the email written about in this article today directly from Mr. Rapport, with, inexplicably, @richardm.bsky.social cc’ed. what isn’t mentioned in this little write up is his references to the “Colorado and Arizona Cannibal Wars”, something I’d like to learn more about actually.

Don't get conned by ridiculous claims

Working at a newspaper, we in the newsroom get a lot of junk emails. Some of them are spam, suggesting we expand our reach by referencing websites we don't have

I also want to mention that I rescued another shitposter from the dying or dead inside social medias. @dejezeus.bsky.social and I have been friends for at least a decade and so I can vouch for his shitposting capabilities. Being an adjunct history professor has only honed his craft. Please welcome.

I’m such a little black rain cloud over on threads. I have no idea why all of these people want meta to control a main source of breaking news and serious information. I say let them stay in their ad revenue lane.

The worst is the paper mail, written in block script.

While posting about bluesky on threads today I met @vvelan.bsky.social bc he inquired about getting a code. He’s a labor leader, pro-housing, and a proud shitposter. Turns out we share the same brain worms! Please welcome my new friend to our humble (but superior) platform!!

I really appreciate the thoughtful consideration the team is giving to being a place where journalism and high quality info can be spread and shared effectively. But I still don’t understand why bluesky doesn’t have a trust and safety lead yet.

I smiled the entire time reading this

I just wanted to say that I’m not perfect at including alt text on pics yet. I am trying very hard to remember to do it because I know it’s important. Thank you to the bluesky team for the reminder prompts.

Relevant @xkcd.com:

An XKCD comic of two stick figures talking. One stick figure is sitting at a desk with a computer and the other is standing behind them. Text as follows:

Person 1: WHEN A USER TAKES A PHOTO, THE APP SHOULD CHECK WHETHER THEY'RE IN A NATIONAL PARK...
Person 2: SURE, EASY GIS LOOKUP. GIMME A FEW HOURS.
Person 1: ...AND CHECK WHETHER THE PHOTO IS OF A BIRD.
Person 2: I'LL NEED A RESEARCH TEAM AND FIVE YEARS.
Caption: IN CS, IT CAN BE HARD TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EASY AND THE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

this showed up in the Bird Pics feed, which is technically correct in two ways, I suppose, but I still don't think it's quite right.

Brand accounts adopting weird/edgy personas are tiresome. It takes something truly shocking to impress me. The wretched owl account impressed me.

Copenhagen has a fantastic international food scene, lots of variety. But the best bite of food I had in my entire Europe trip was the smørrebrod served at Aamann’s Deli and Takeaway. The lentil mushroom was, surprisingly, the standout against the smoked salmon and fried whitefish.

I promised to report back on the (allegedly) excellent Mexican food at Sanchez in Copenhagen. And as promised, I took my homemade carnitas maker dad (and my goofball 15 y/o brother) to try their carnitas. It was… not “good by California standards” as advertised unfortunately.

There are way too many people I know in real life on Threads. I’ve been spoiled here.

Queer Survivor twitter is making its way over here I’m so happy

I just need to tell you that Tivoli Gardens is the greatest amusement park in the world. I like the ride where I get to drink alcoholic spritzes and lounge in comfortable chairs on the grass all afternoon. Also, they did decent SF style burritos

My normie (but very urbanist) partner did an instagram series where he asked if Danish architecture would fly in the bay. Results were mixed.

The apartments are just so beautiful in Copenhagen.

Ok so here’s a weird ass thing I witnessed. APPARENTLY, graduating high school seniors rent out massive open top busses to play loud music and scream from the entire weekend after they graduate. They get wasted and create increasingly obscene banners to hang from the busses. I hated their joy.

Visited Assistens Cemetery where Hans Christian Andersen is buried. It’s actually a beautiful walking spot and there are unique, interesting memorials everywhere you look.

The urbanism in Copenhagen is incredible. Just incredible. You don’t get anything better than this in the world. Don’t let your municipalities tell you that this isn’t possible because I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

When we first got to Copenhagen it was unseasonably fucking hot. It SAID it was only around 75f, but with the canal humidity I could have died. This pic was 4am from our fourth floor airbnb somewhere between the Vesterbro and Fredricksberg neighborhoods, highly recommend staying there.

So I’ve been in Europe (Copenhagen and Berlin) for almost two weeks but haven’t posted yet. I was so busy enjoying life that I forgot to. Sorry. But I took lots of photos and will now share my adventures! Feat. My normie partner, hellthread dad, my kid, my stepmom, and half bro and sis.

My favorite adaptive behavior is that whenever I’m packing or doing something with lots of steps I make many very detailed lists with lots of colorful highlighters and pens. I can go back and edit the lists to take out all of the random nonsense and actually just not pack those things.
