Can't remember if I posted this already — the eclipse was totally obscured by weather in Iceland, but it was still very cool to see this mountain disappear and reappear in the darkness. #mountainMonday

Dollars to donuts El-Sayed had been waiting for the question, maybe even knew the dude was in the room, but that detracts nothing from the skill he showed in responding to it.

It's very easy to get depressed by the state of politics right now, but then you see interactions like this one, and it rekindles your faith. A new generation of politicians will come forward and they will be different. #AbduElSayed #USpol #Politics

I'm about to head to an annual Friendsgiving planning session. It's almost 80 degrees, not the ideal environment to talk about all the heavy foods we're going to want to braise for hours.

The people happily going back to the Nazi bar have large enough audiences that they could have given newer options a real try — not just using them and seeing what happens, but investing in them, shifting their audience away from the bad place into something both federated and more in their own […]

The Gruber thing is a reminder that being a big fish in a small pond enables full, unearned confidence in all the thoughts your brain generates, and to forget that you aren't actually an expert in *every* thing, and there's a whole world of other people with different experiences than you, and […]

The printing capabilities of Mac OS have diminished of late. I used to use Preview to print all the sticker PDFs I've designed. These days it's completely unpredictable whether "use last settings" works, whether it will actually print at 100%, and half a dozen other inconsistencies. I'm kind of […]

I've always imagined the Taskmaster participants as coming in for two or three days of fun tasks, easy breezy, but I finally did the math and each contestant does at least 30 tasks, not including ones that don't make the show or tie breakers. The production team all deserve medals.

I'm listening to a Clancy novel from 2000 during my runs, and it's clear that he believed in American exceptionalism and democracy (a small government, big military, pro-business, anti-abortion democracy, but democracy nonetheless), but he completely missed Putin (who took power that very year) […]

I had forgotten that Jm Bakker was still alive, and I just now remembered that during Trump1 I think he pivoted to prepper and was hawking barrels of soup on TV.

Matt Lucas is the first Taskmaster contestant I fully dislike. He's creepy, comes off as trying very hard to appear friendly and genial. (I assume his team has had a hard talk with him about needing to be more likable.) As far as I'm concerned it's the first real misstep by the Taskmaster team […]

RE: pouet.chapril.org/@dallo/1172439177… This is even more shocking when you realize that the percentage of US adults with health insurance has been sitting at around 90% for about a decade. We *have* insurance, and it's *still* too expensive.
