Oooh, Copper has released the 2.0 version of Charlie, its electric induction range. It now can plug into a normal 120V outlet! Bigger battery, more power. NYC is gonna buy a bunch of these for public housing, help bring the cost down.

My 9 games. May seem redundant to list Myst & Riven, but those were so formative. I wanted to play Myst sooo bad but had to wait until we got a computer with a CD-ROM drive. And I spent so much time in Riven. Kind of cheating with the Jak collection, but those three are too hard to separate.

My 9 Games grid featuring:

Myst
Riven
Tetris (GameBoy)
Earthbound
Jak and Daxter Collection
Final Fantasy XII
Portal 2
Minecraft: Java Edition
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Growing up in rural PA, we had our power taken out twice by raccoons who climbed the pole and tripped the breaker on the small transformer mounted there. One was while a friend was over and we were watching Young Frankenstein. Thunder crashed in the movie, and all the lights in the house went out.

@mattbaume.bsky.social My husband and I were getting our haircut, and our older (also gay) hairdresser just used the phrase, "cha cha heels". Thought of your John Waters video because of your confusion over the term. Apparently it does get used in the wild!

Something that is incredibly missing in a lot of local reporting is someone on the local government beat. I grew up in a rinky dink 3500 person town in the middle of the woods. Our daily newspaper managed to get to every school board, borough council, and township council meeting.

Some notable omissions that I hope to fix in the upcoming years. I was lucky to have two teachers for parents, which allowed us time to travel via RV in the summers. And my husband and I are working on seeing more places together, now that we're in a good financial situation.

The Producers (2005) I don't know that everyone else hated it, but it didn't do great at the box office. Lots of complaints about Brooks/Stroman failing in the stage to screen adaptation process, but as someone who never got to see Lane/Broderick on stage, I kind of appreciated how similar it was.

This promotes the myth that home L2 charging is necessary. It is not. My husband and I have owned an EV for over 4 years now. We have not yet bothered to install a L2 charger at home, & it is not a priority. Still just charging off the standard wall outlet. 1/ www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

This was a couple weeks ago, but when we took a drive up into #RMNP on my birthday we saw this young bull moose near the cabin on Old Fall River Road. This is at about 10,800". Very neat to see him! (Shot with a 5x telephoto lens, of course. I'm not approaching a fucking moose!)

The “vibe shift” proclaimed Nov. 2024 - Jan. 2025 was just some elites—in business, media, law, and some higher ed admins—who kinda liked the fascism and gave themselves permission to accommodate it. That’s all it ever was. A close presidential election is not somehow a binding cultural referendum.

While I'm ranting about how much SCOTUS sucks, I was talking with a friend this morning about how the worst Justices aren't even ones that Trump appointed, and even though he's seen as a lesser evil now, ignoring bush’s substantial contributions to this historical moment is a huge pet peeve of mine.

I'm pretty sure the closest thing my podunk hometown has to a megastructure is the old Holgate Toy Company smokestack. It was a remnant of their old original factory location that never got torn down. But it never felt very ominous.
