Work in tech, spin wrenches in my spare time. Maybe I'll find a working camera one of these days and share some adventures.

Backpack edges past Dancing Queen to win the Fat Bear Week title
Bear known for sitting in solitude won tournament celebrating the animals’ ability to eat large amounts of fish A chunky ursine called Backpack has out gobbled a challenge from an outsized female nicknamed the Dancing Queen to waltz – or rather waddle – off with the Fat Bear Week title at Alaska’s Katmai national park. Backpack, a 20-year-old quiet giant known for sitting in solitude for long periods on his rock on the Brooks river, won by barely 5,000 votes in the public tournament celebrating the brown bears’ ability to eat as many fish, Alaska rangers announced.

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

‼️An internal EU report warns rearmament is not yet fast or effective enough to be ready to defend against Russia by 2030. Gaps include air/missile defence, munitions, and drones. The current pace of rearmament may be unprecedented, but more is needed. Especially if Russia attacks before 2030.

Hurricane Nolo isn’t moving. The center of the high-end Category 2 hurricane was located 145 miles south of Hawaii’s Big Island as of Saturday morning, with its 105 mph winds. And it was parked. That’s why Nolo presents such a severe flood threat for the Big Island.
