Garden time! Plants are set for the containers going up the steps (poppy and petunia) and the hostas and astible are in the ground now. 🌱🌺 #flowers #plants
A set of steps leading up to a brick building with a white railing. There are three potted plants on the steps, one yellow, one white, and one red. There is an azelea bush with red flowers next to the steps. The word "Love grows here" is written in gold letters on the yellow pot on the landing with native honeysuckle growing.

I got the short cider run bottled and resting to finish and clarify. Not sure how sweet it will be, but man it’s got a kick already. #homebrewing

When I started my career in IT 25 years ago, I expect expected that one day, my role would also include plumbing. I just installed a new water line tap for a new coffee maker and did filter replacements on the other machines and both fridges in the office.

It's not personal and I'm not trying to be "mean", I don't have time to listen to all that while my inbox, teams, and tickets are stacking up and someone's in my office door. Brevity will win you the chance to schedule that in-depth meeting later when I have time to pay attention to it.

I generally will give you 1 minute to get to the point. If you haven't, then while you're still reading the script, you'll get the "Email it to me and if we're interested, we'll reply. If not, we won't. Thanks" line and I will hang up and move on.

Ok, I get it, sales is a tough gig when you're doing outbound leads. Here's a tip: Cold calling me during the first hour of the workday, last hour of the workday, and my all too short lunch time are not going to get you the results you want.

If I signed up for these messages, I’ll know who it’s from and allow it. What this really means is they can’t shop their lists around and sell them/share them with groups I don’t know or care about. This is just taking some small shred of my peace back during election season. #StopPoliticalSpam

It’s about time someone stopped the deluge of spam texts, and yes, that’s what they are. This isn’t “blocking campaigns”, it’s stopping unwanted messages. Just use the same number to short code and tell your supporters to add it to their address book, or tap on known sender. #SorryNotSorry

It’s psychology, more particularly, intimidation. Seeing that onsite won’t stop a dedicated protestor, but someone that’s caught off-guard by its presence may give up. While the vehicle looks “scary”, sonic and ultrasonic weapons (and their after-effects) can be quite nasty to encounter unawares.

Looks kinda like a version of the LRAD “sound cannon” system. Here’s a decent write up on the system and how it works: pitchfork.com/thepitch/und...

Just walking around the garden and seeing what all is growing. As the sun started to set, it was neat to see all the fireflies around. #gardens

The article doesn't really address the fact that Claude is only mimicking behaviors in its training data set. Still, it's a great highlight of how quickly dystopian fiction in a training data set can become dystopian reality when AI agents are given too much access. techcrunch.com/2025/05/22/a...

What a day. Was going to the plant sale at the farmer’s market, but we decided to go to the Bog Garden and walk aroid instead. Then home to plant a few last flowers for the day. #gardens #wildlife #parks

After a great dinner, we spent a little time watching the local sky puppies (bats) dance and feed. They’re tiny, fast, and incredibly agile, but caught a little on camera. #bats #nature
