Meh, some banal stuff about me. I like books, music, hockey, 'mingos, my grandchildren and tech. I am on Mastodon as @max_headroom@mindly.social. I am "watched the moon landing live" years old

Don't hide your light. The shadows are too aggressive these days for you to be silent. Sing out. Not just in anger at the shadows, but with ideas, with love, with insight, with creativity, with hope. Remind others that humanity is more than the handful of people talking and spending the most.

My husband and I went on a self-guided tour of a bacon factory and he was so worried we would get lost, but I was like babe, I know this place like the back of my ham.

AI can say it is panicking. It cannot actually produce adrenaline. AI can say it loves you. It cannot produce oxytocin. AI says words it has learned from people who produce these chemicals. There is nothing behind it but programming.

Nebraska: I have been personally wounded by those of you who cheered on the president's assertion that letting Iran nuke my children would be a small price. I still hope nothing terrible happens to your beautiful state, nor to however many non-murderous people live in it, ever.

"Warping Head on the Winch" - Photographed September 8, 2026, in Wanchese Harbor, North Carolina. 📷
From Wartsila.com

"A cylinder-like fitting at the end of winch or windlass shafts. The fiber line or wire rope is hauled or slacked by winding a few turns around it, the free end being held taut manually as it rotates. Warping ends are used mostly for auxiliary purposes such as hauling ropes across a deck or for handling additional mooring lines."

Before you get angry about a dumb screenshot of a tweet from a blue checkmark, maybe ask yourself this question: Is there anything else in the entire known universe I could otherwise be thinking about?

The most effective cure for bigotry is genuinely knowing enough people in the category to recognize their individuality beyond the type, and that's a hard place for a bigot to reach.

The indifference is not just at Cornell; our country knowingly elected a sexual predator… twice! There are so many examples of how our culture programs young men to be this way. We have social media platforms amplifying violent misogyny. Rarely are there ever consequences for any of it.

My people's house in the Sims 2 was so messy that the maid had to leave before he was finished cleaning it - I think that should unlock an achievement of some kind.

I'm gonna be real with y'all. Pretty much the only reason I'm on here is to meet people and get to know them. I've got nothing to sell you, and I have better sources for news.❤️ So those of you who actually respond to my chatty little posts - you mean the world to me.

My love is earned, and that does not stop at the national level. America needs to give me a *reason* to love it besides "This is where your mom was when they pulled you out of her hoo-ha." And no, I can't "just leave." Anywhere substantially better does not want me.

We need the equivalent of a pre-nup in business mergers. Of course, that might involve giving the $$$ back so... (FYI, some mergers/acquisitions include this but they are very rare)

We are lazy and more concerned with saving 3% on our purchases then we are wielding our purchasing power. We must be willing to go without, spend a little more and embrace inconvenience. In short - we have to care enough to do what is needed.

IMO - this is a culture thing. We "worship" power (money==power). There are businesses that value people, customer service and quality over profits. There are fewer of these then there used to be. The customer base has the power to punish business that do NOT do this. We don't.
