wow, white men talking casually in public about a thing they have no place talking about, let alone having an opinion on, and probably have committed. yes Jamelle, everything you wrote is true, it would be nice to live in that world

zero percent chance she prepped a single item to go into her display case fridge. the prep alone would be hours, let alone the styling. all so you can open it up the next day to see desiccated moldy blueberries

So many of these positions are isolated from economic incentives to make good long term choices for the planet and economy.

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

this is a super messy space to argue in; folks with land not wanting THEIR land "spoiled" by transmission, oil and gas looking for help servicing data center build outs, and individual ratepayers, whose rates are insanely isolated from actual wholesale electricity prices.

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

currently have. Even if they build transmission for fossil fuels now, i guarantee that before the end of its service life, it'll be used primarily by renewable energy sources... long-term the economics of fossil fuels just don't add up outside of peak or emergency demand

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

so they're trying to build out transmission to serve new fossil fuel generation? the thing about transmission is that it gets used by whatever is available to serve it... it's estimated that to convert the US economy to be carbon neutral it'll require 4x more transmission capacity than we

maybe it's the "hack" to get siri to create a readable version of the link, not actually intended to be printed? idk seems like 5 minutes of work would also suit and you could then also eliminate the weird ones that should never have been shared in the first place

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

mmmmm the ending isn't what makes that show good. it's the eerie nature of the story telling, and exploration of the human psyche and cultural response after a global shared traumatic experience.

yeeeah i mean, i guess this list is alright?

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

it always comes down to the fact that the strategists are encumbered by their allegiance to corporate dollars and fall flat on messaging and meaning every time.

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

AI has always seemed like the tool of the privileged white man to try to achieve financial independence much like globalization, which for him meant shipping his job and anyone he might employ over to a country where labor costs were cheaper... and I gotta say there aren't many that survived

ok, i'm rewatching Voyager now so maybe i'll feel a stronger gumption come the conclusion of this series

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

was Picard worth watching? I watched the first season and part of the second before I ditched for reasons of "omg star trek is going timey wimey again uuuuugh" and "wow i love these humans but they're getting a bit ...feeble.. to act well anymore"

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

based on the lack of a bag wall visible inside the kiln, i'm guessing the kiln isn't finished yet and the burners and plumbing might not be installed yet?

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

yes this design would have burner ports in the back on either side of the exhaust stack.

Fun Fact: most of the time, when gas or wood kilns are made of "reclaimed materials", it's almost always fire brick from kilns used for cremations.

AI has powered so many "business idea men" to try to create things that would have never survived any level of diligence on product value or market interest.

please let this be another reason folks stop doing bird feeders and instead plant plants, I promise that a bird on a flower picking off seeds is one million times cuter than on a feeder.

sometimes folks get me while we're all walking outdoors.... and they walked by 10 seconds ago. makes me wonder if this was what it was like in victorian times

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

if everyone walked no one would have to stop at that intersection

it's too small, you can't even fit a single graphics card in there to do all the generative workload

we can help reduce human suffering and act in our own self interest AT THE SAME TIME. this is literally what collaborative care for the world looks like. /fin

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

USAID wasn't paternalism, it was the implementation of soft power, AND gave a place for a shit ton of US government-subsidized farmed grains without crashing the markets. managing disease outbreaks abroad establishes a barrier of safety that makes it less likely to spread to our country. /4

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

leaves a shit transition, if any, causing opportunities for catastrophic issues like this. stop arguing in bad faith, you're not clever.

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

when the US has been directly, aggressively wasting their entire stockpile of munitions for no gain. disease reduction efforts have largely been collaborative, if asymmetrically funded by the US. this administration's chaotic and unreliable communication and negotiation with other countries /2

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

it's weird that you're grouping "the US pulling out of philanthropic world-interests like CDC and WHO to prevent the spread of diseases that kill locally and can evolve into more dangerous contagions" and "the defunding of USAID" with "the pullout of the US from unified militaristic actions" /1

not even necessarily murderous... just someone who has no idea where the edges of their smoosh machine are.

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

that being said folks should always follow traffic rules... don't flag me across a 4-way stop intersection when you got there first. that breaks the traffic pattern and actually decreases my safety fin/

010

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

in all of these cases, the vehicle that is the most capable of maneuvering and accelerating (includes stopping) should yield to slower traffic. this is the opposite of frequent observations. 3/

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

i also see this translate ON BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PATHS where the vehicles that can accelerate the most aggressively are the least patient and most dangerous to others. (looking at you, eMotos, class 2+ eBikes, rental scooters, and Road Cyclists™️). 2/

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

an unpopular opinion I have is that the act of driving in a climate controlled, comfortable vehicle (this is comparative to what the experience would be self-propelling, makes a human a worse person. the convenience grows selfishness and impatience. the expectation of a prompt arrival fuels anger

stop with the body cameras! we want cameras pointed at ICE, not buying them more equipment that they can use to feed their databases of faces.

next intersection. then you get to play the game of trying to pass them all over agin. in my world, i just everyone plenty of space.

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

whenever a car trying to sneak by me would put me in a dangerous position. I also don't pass drivers on the right when i'm taking the lane; I am traffic at that point as a driver, you really aren't saving much time by passing, and you're opening yourself up to being passed on the right at the

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

as a cyclist and a driver, I consider bikes garbage trucks. If I wouldn't try to pass a garbage truck going that speed on this road in this neighborhood, I don't try to pass. and when I do pass i'm able to offer 6+ feet because i'm actually passing them. as a cyclist I take the whole lane

Jamison @jamisonvalenta.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

and very very in the motorist's way with no obvious means to "sneak by" me. yep yep. you gotta be in the way of the people so they pay attention to you and out of the way of the people who will never pay attention to you (ie people opening vehicle doors, coming out of buildings, alleys, or walking
