A reimagining of/homage to M. C. Escher's "Drawing Hands" showing a realistic human hand emerging from the paper drawing a robotic/AI hand which is also emerging from the paper... and that robotic hand, having turned the pencil around, is erasing the human hand. By Bruce MacKinnon

Did I see some cool stuff? Sure did. Nice art museum. Got lots of walking in. Was this actually worth the money, time, and stress? Not really. Like, it was fine I guess.

I head home today! I did my first truly solo vacation to a place I've never been. The few vacations I've had before as an adult, I met someone at the airport so I really only flew by myself. So hurray I did it. Back to bring a mildly agoraphobic little troll. This was expensive and mid overall.

Bekta is a cat who needs a human. She's clearly uncomfortable in the shelter. The unfamiliar environment and the large number of other cats are overwhelming, forcing withdraw from everyone. She's having a hard time right now, and barely interacts with anyone. #cats

Does Simon miss me? Debatable. People are checking on her twice a day. I will be home Tuesday night. But still. I miss baby Simon and her thirst for blood.

I only dress up consistently for court and I think this is a fair standard for everyone to have. Are you appearing in front of a judge? No? Bedazzled yoga pants it is.

The division that has a robust front office in my regional office is amazing at records management. They can pull anything, and fast. They track their FOIAs extremely well and get them done as quick as possible. One time they found an old tape recording from the 70/80s ish and we got it digitized!

Amoeba @amoebab.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
FOIA is generally done *in addition* to other full-time duties, and there is often not funding for front office staff to help with administrative tasks and records management because they're seen as "bloat." They are not. They're vital.

If you want more centralized databases, public facing websites, and digitization, advocate for the federal appropriations for it and for the staff to do it.

Amoeba @amoebab.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Fun fact: there often isn't a centralized list for smaller agencies. They frequently aren't given the funding for the software needed to track that in one place. It's split up by region or location in little excel files or even in physical logs (yes really).

Amoeba @amoebab.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Me, a FOIA professional watching this missing national parks show: Oh my god, there's no single list, you have to ask for reports or incidents because they don't have to create a new record, and submit individual requests per park so it's more manageable and you can review records in chunks.

"Flaring" is a major contributor to global heating. Flames at oil sites worldwide burn enough methane each year to supply about half of Europe’s annual gas consumption. The flares also spew soot, nitrogen oxides & benzine. Since oil majors pledged to end flaring, it's risen 9%. 1/2
Flares keep burning
By Will Evans and Ben Elgin Norma Lopez Cadena tries to keep her granddaughters indoors - out of sight
from the 65-foot flare burning excess gas from more than a dozen oil wells. At night, she says, the flare rattles the house from about 500 feet away and wakes her family. When the wind shifts, it smells like burnt rubber. The flare tormenting Lopez Cadena towers over the quiet West Texas neighborhood of South Ranchito, in the heart of the oil-producing Permian Basin, where it dances in the breeze day after day like an oversized lighter. When the gas flow
increases, it swells into a thick yellow and sounds like a blowtorch.
"Nobody wants to live next to that," she says.

Something that has long bugged me about job-creation numbers is that, as far as I know, they usually don't include job *shifts* from one sector to another. Like, if a data center developer moves in and hires half the local construction workforce, those workers aren't building stuff elsewhere...
