Oh nice! Been working on a Superman costume, all I needed was his famous… hat?

A post from the Ann Arbor Freecycle:

“OFFER: Superman hat for Halloween costume

Superman hat for Halloween costume! Never worn. Contactless porch pick up.”

Facts worth repeating: It would be cheaper to pay the ~40,000 or so people employed by the coal industry $1M a year to do nothing than to pay for the health damages (not including climate change) caused by burning coal in the U.S. publichealth.hsc.wvu.edu/news/story?h...

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

This is besides the point but Trump increasingly using swears is a sign of his mental stability. He used to deploy it rarely and when he did it was pointed. Now he’s just using it casually.

Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor, keep eyes open and take care of your neighbors today, especially near Michigan Ave. If you see something, best thing to do is document well (vehicles, number of people involved, location, etc) and contact MIRA.

They made a game about my favorite part of one of my previous careers. But part of why I liked it was that you didn’t interfere with it, you just watched it become tidy. Interested in seeing what the designer makes the player do to turn it into a game

I own much cheaper, much dumber “AR glasses” (basically a wearable display), and that device can tell when I am wearing it. If the Meta glasses even just had that, it would reduce the potential for abuse like the guy recording his wife from the nightstand.
