Fell into watching clips of President Obama's speeches to the Australian, UK, and Irish Parliaments. (YouTube algorithm) All I can say is that we once had a president who could speak...

Just saw something really disturbing today. It's supposed to be in the neighborhood of 100° today in Portland, and I saw a good sized dog, locked in a car, in direct sunlight, with the rear window opened maybe a quarter inch. That's not enough!

Indeed. "Stephen Frantz, a former head of Reed’s reactor, told me he once attended a conference of research-reactor directors where one lab boss proudly announced that the average age of his operators was just 50. Frantz made his audience’s jaws drop by saying that, at Reed, the average was 20."

I know it's a holiday weekend, but don't forget what (and who) the holiday is for! If you're local to Portland, Fred Meyer grocery workers of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555 are on strike--give them some support if you get the chance! www.bugbeardispatch.com/p/happy-labo...

TIL that as soon as Hitler came to power, Leica, the CAMERA COMPANY, started sending Jewish families for "overseas business trips" to Hong Kong or the US etc. where they received a Leica camera and a stipend until they could find employment. Historians call it the Leica Freedom Train and I'm crying.

THEY FUCKED AROUND NOW THEYRE FINDING OUT

STRIKE CALLED FOR SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1

New Seasons Labor Union members voted 82% in favor of a one-day Unfair Labor Practice strike at ten of the eleven unionized locations: Arbor Lodge, Cedar Hills, Concordia, Grant Park, Hawthorne, Sellwood, Seven Corners, Slabtown, Woodstock, and Williams. While University Park members supported the strike, their total votes did not meet the threshold for the Steering Committee to authorize striking there.

So, for as long as I've known about eye dominance (it's like handedness, left/right except for eyes*) I've been right handed but left eye dominant. While this won't allow me to fly the Apache helicopter (or so I was told) my optometrist mentioned that this is advantageous if you are playing golf 1/?

Back home in PDX from nine days in Japan. I flew out from Osaka at 2045 on the 25th Japan time, and arrived at 2015 on the 25th Pacific Daylight Time. The international date line is weird. My body clock thinks its its currently 1315 on the 26th. Good thing I got absolutely no sleep on the flights ;)

Roger examined the ocean. Then he examined his life. Not once had he ever broken a rule or challenged authority. But now, it was time for this “good boy” to cross the line. Time to go rogue.

Hey @altocello.bsky.social remember this book? Pretty sure we both read it back in the day. Sadly, I confess I read the entire series...
