The downside to putting together my own dashboard to display the bus data is I know too much. The Transit app just doesn’t display the 5:20 p.m. one, but it’s on the timetable. #capmetro

A screenshot of a bus tracker that shows the next bus is cancelled and the bus after it wasn't cancelled, but no bus is running the route that would serve it.

if you see this, we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

image of Mary with a fist in the air with words from the The Magnificat (Luke 1:48) surrounding her "Cast down the mighty / Send the rich away / Fill the hungry / Lift the lowly". Mary is stomping on a skull and snake, similar to the image of her as the Immaculate Conception.

Had a nice feast of St. Benedict today. Wore my oblate habit for the first time (new-ish thing at St. Meinrad) with my St. Benedict socks 😂 and MC’d for the vicar general at the parish this evening.

I asked Claude what it thought of Pope Leo’s new encyclical about AI and now I have to break it to it that, no matter how much it likes the text, it can’t enter the seminary.

Right now, it would flow back to the native WordPress comments and display like other comments. You can moderate them on the WP site to determine display locally. The bsky moderation tools would handle things on the bsky side (e.g. deleting the comment locally wouldn't impact bsky).

My pastor surmised that I was likely the only lector wearing a rose jacket on Gaudete Sunday in any Holy Cross parish in the US. (Today is one of two days in the Church that rose vestments are worn.) #Catholic #Liturgy kraft.blog/photo/rose/?utm_source=b…

While there are aspects I could critique, AISD’s plan makes a lot of sense. I don’t envy being in this position and I appreciate there’s no painless way to move forward. #atx

I’m trying to cut back on some of my subscriptions so thinking about picking up a mini PC to self-host a “cloud” server from home. Thinking it’d be cheaper to do that + off-site backup than what I’m paying for random things.

The US government’s position on the admitted mistake of sending a man to a foreign prison without any due process is beyond disgraceful. No due process and, in the official position of the US government, no possibility of return is indefensible. #uspol (wp.me p1Apvp-uOQ)

I’m disgusted at the behavior of President Trump and Vice President Vance today. If we’re the greatest country in the world, we should act like it. Not whatever that was in the Oval today. 🇺🇦 (wp.me p1Apvp-sIs)

The twins are now big enough to not need a booster seat in the cars anymore. As I drag four seats (2 kids, 2 cars) to the garage, it is bonkers how much money all that was and how… just not needed anymore. (wp.me p1Apvp-qd0)

Yeah, need an icon. But, the profile is in the DOM now. Is that enough for you to pick up on your work?

Fix deployed. I'd expect bsky to show on there since it's on my gravatar, but I'll check into that later (tomorrow?). In either case, a separate issue. Almost kiddo pick up time.
