DC to the ESVA, and X to Bluesky. I block accounts that follow me if I can’t get a sense of them. My apologies, but 👎🏼 to sockpuppets and AI bots.

The pitch: AI is a force majeure that will inevitably lead to loss and diminishment (income, security, utility, peace, existence) of all those who failed to invest in it yesterday! Look on its works, ye mighty, and despair!

Storm+full moon at high tide = big flooding. I’ve never had water quite this high in my yard. The only road to my place is under a foot of salt water. Glad for my jeep! #cwshare

Lunch and dinner. 14” pizza with potato and roast chicken, and pesto and ricotta. It’s good, but next time I think I’ll mix some lemon zest in with the ricotta. Or maybe finish with a basil-lemon oil. There’s a lot of rich and earthy flavors going on, and some bright notes would elevate the pie.

As Trump fires up the bulldozers to plow through our National Monuments, realize: he wants to hurt people, to destroy what other people love. What he can't put his name on. What is bigger than him. Destruction is the goal. People need to put their bodies on the line for this. Not online. Outside. 1/

There is no valid reason for the military to be embedding itself in DC neighborhoods. This occupation is the true violence and crime in DC- not whatever BS pretext the admin confected to justify its actions.

@joshtpm.bsky.social you weren’t showing your age when you referenced a goth table in the cafeteria. You were showing your age when you said: jock, stoner, nerd, ritchie, goth. Everyone (of that same certain age) knows you were thinking of The Breakfast Club.

Still playing with the @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social focaccia recipe. This time imagined as a rustic pizza with wild/volunteer tomatoes and herbs, and Asiago, Romano, and oil cured olives and sopressada. I’d not tried this sort of bake in an iron pan before.
