Just a few seconds of something I am overjoyed to be working on...

I’m thinking a lot about what small actions for good actually do. It probably matters more that you talk about why and not if the thing you do actually has a large impact. Also they should make you happy.

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social can you recommend a poetry newbie some poetry books or any other poetry resources (other than your poetry window).

I just got a podcast ad that described a TV ad and then told me to go online and watch the ad. I wonder how many people actually go watch after that. #ads #latestagecapitalism

Any one have any advice for starting a blog with limited time if I want to write about stuff I would also have to deep dive on to some extent? #science #blog #research

@milesofgray.bsky.social if you’re going to an errand space museum just to see planes and stuff. Make sure you go to the Chantilly museum and not the DC one. airandspace.si.edu/visit/udvar-...

@edzitron.com Something I thought of while hearing an ad for Malcom Gladwell’s AI podcast. AI feels like it’s also following a trend that so much boosted tech has which is to isolate us. AI is like the worst iteration too since it’s boosted as replacing so much human interaction in some spheres.

If you haven’t done it in a while it’s probably a good idea to restart your phone. #privacy #security

@ublockorigin@lemmy.ml being available on IPhone is great. Everyone should have ad blockers and try to protect what little #privacy

Moving somewhere new. What are the best little things to do to make things a little better right away for everyone. I know meet neighbors. Any other simple things?

The construction next to the funeral home I drive by next day has turned out to be an assisted living facility. I wonder if your a discount on transportation if you just need to be moved next door. #frugal ☠️☠️☠️

I know personally doing things for the environment doesn’t make a true impact. It’s still nice in the hyper local sense and I also hope giving and example and talking to others creates some 2nd or 3rd order effects that actually matter. I guess it might be like 5th or 6th order effects.

Mpdaves @mpdaves.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

The two extreme view points about AI that I get regualrly are from @theskepticsguide.bsky.social and @edzitron.com. I think it would be interesting for them to talk to each other. Especially since they probably agree on a it of other things.

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social I forgot about the song Beeswing thanks for reminding me of it on Cold Brew Got Me Like. Gonna go listen to more Richard Thompson

I still go on things like Reddit too much and it’s stressful even my curated feed. Bluesky is a bit too. Mastodon and Pixelfed though are generally more calming. I think just too many voices make things stressful. #fediverse #pixelfed #mastodon #calmer

If anyone has knowledge about how much picking up litter improve things let me know. Like all things not just trash/plastic out of the ecosystem, but also mood, chance of more litter being dropped, wildlife health? I know there are probably some studies on it. I’ll try to find some of it. #cleanup

First time seeing something like this in the wild. For now banana seemed about the same price. #bananas #inflation #taxes

Sign Reads. Our bananas are imported from Colombia, Honduras, and Costa Rica, which are impacted by a 10% tariff.
We are working with our suppliers to minimize the impact to our customers and are committed to keeping our prices competitive on affected items.

Saw someone cleaned up trash that was all over a small overpass. After my run I felt the need to clean some more litter. I only got 2 shopping bag fulls but it felt like a lot.

I’ve been think a little about how neighbors are kind of replaced by apps and services. Like social media being who people talk to but also in who you ask for a ride? Uber. Who dog sits for you? Rover. Who get you sugar when you run out? DoorDash. Who suggests movies, shows, or music? Streaming.

These Amazon ads on podcasts about “Amazon enabling and supporting” small businesses are interesting. Like I’m sure they probably do make logistics easier in some ways but like I also bet anything that gets big enough odds going to end up “Amazon basiced” #ads #eee #workingclass

@booker.senate.gov congratulations on breaking Thurman’s speech record. I hope you and your colleagues can leverage the attention. Keep inspiring people. You spoke a lot for things. We need more messaging for things. Being against this administration is easy but give people something to fight for.

Feels a lot like the direct line of Woody -> Springsteen-> Rage is something to keep in mind. Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air Look for me, Mom, I'll be there

I have things pretty good and I feel like 90% of days are just sleep cook eat work cook eat sleep. How do people who work even more manage everything. I know there are some people who fake working more but I mean the people who work more and just barely survive. #capitalism

So who else adds 15 to 30 minutes to everything you do because you forget 10 small things that take longer on their own than they should if you did them at the right time? #adhd

Actually correction. Bright spot today is I made double chocolate muffins. They’re from a box but still they’re tasty. #brightspot #baking

Bright spot today work didn’t drag. Simple easy bright spot. #brightspot

Bright spot today was it felt like spring. Less bright because it maybe shouldn’t be this spring light this early but for a one off I’ll take it. #brightspot

Bright spot today is day light savings. Let’s keep it all year. #brightspot

Bright spot today is going for a run even though I felt pretty bad and then picked up a shopping bag worth of litter. Still more to do litter wise. Trying to do a little at a time. #brightspot #litter

Bright spot today I had some time to play guitar so I didn’t spend the whole evening pointlessly struggling to start anything. I only did that for most of it instead of all of it. #brightspot

Bright spot today is trail running in the sun. Even though it was cold the trail run was great. Need to do more of it. #brightspot

I think it might be good to try to keep bright spots on the mind. So my bright spot today is the sun was bright I could open the windows and get fresh air without freezing out the house. #brightspot #glasshalffull @knowledgefight.bsky.social

Randomly today Google new surfaced a bunch of “do we really need electricity cars” type articles in my news feed. The answer is yes but I was a little disturbed there were so many articles that were at best neutral and at worst negative propaganda. #ev #greensky

Happy Public Schools Week! As a former teacher, I know that public schools are not just where our kids go to learn - they’re the center of our communities. That’s why I was proud to make the largest investment in public schools in state history.
