99% of my competency is from pathologically checking every error to make sure it wasn't mine and learning all the failure modes. ADHD is really something.

The real reason you can not change Lake Ontario's name is that it would mess up the acronym. HAMES? Who is going to remember that?

I like to think that the lice are just even tinier humans, similar to the pets is the early days of the comic, chewing on the scalps of our characters (adults).

Some days you just need to take a day off drive five hours to go fossil hunting at a defunct limestone quarry.

View of a broken down limestone loading dock with Lake Huron spreading out in varied shades of blue into a hazy sky. People pick rocks below the huge pile of rocks where the phot was taken.

Ooof. Sad to see one of my favorite law school professors show up as a Trump nominee. People can change in twenty years, I guess.

Why won't people let me make their lives horrible, so that I can make more money? It does not make any sense. I am a very smart tech genius.

I am not going to waste my money on Hunt for Gollum, because it fails to justify its existence beyond milking more action garbage out of the appendices.

Lord of the Rings was such a perfect trilogy of films that every project in Middle Earth since then seems repellent by comparison. I remembered almost walking out of the second Hobbit film.

Still trying to figure out if I am this tired because this is a uniquely horrible point in my life or just because I am in my mid-40s.

I think a lot of people arent connecting the obvious here. Mitch was dead and required the death of a minion to return to the dark mockery of life he currently enjoys.

His name was scraped off the Kennedy Center like shit on pavement. The gilding and cluttered changes to the Whitehouse will be swept away once he is gone. His only lasting legacy is setting this country back decades in technology, health, and social justice.

Trump feels his mortality pressing in on him. That is the reason he is so desperate to leave something, anything, that might last. But he is incompetent and self-destructive. His ballroom is stalled. His pool putrid. His regime change abandoned. Greenland isn't going to happen.

Because a giant space monster bursting from strange dimensions beyond our understanding would be a lot less frustrating than the daily stupid march to unhabitability.

Not a bad day to wrap up Fathers Day camping trip with the kiddos.

A tiny half moon sits directly above a sand dune with Little Traverse bay visible on the right. The sunset has lit up the wispy clouds pink and peach, with a darkening blue sky showing through.

I thought Backrooms was a great visual film. A bit ham-fisted with the central metaphor, in my opinion... but a fun film that I am willing to revisit.

Gardening update: Serviceberry trees are planted. Lupins are in along the shed. The everbearing strawberries are blooming along with the beach plum, pear, and cherry. Parsley and onions overwintered.

the second-strangest thing about this Flintstones commercial for Winston cigarettes is the juxtaposition between the animated Barney and the real-as-life pack of cigarettes (the strangest thing is that the Flintstones are advertising cigarettes)

A black-and-white still of a Flintstones cigarette commercial. Barney Rubble is sitting against the back of the Flintstone house with a pack of photorealistic Winston cigarettes in his hand.

There is no humanity to spare in space. You bring it with you; like air, water, and food. It is easy to put aside down here on earth where it is abundant.

Probably the reason they evolved to punch things so hard; frustration at seeing a world beyond wonder and not having the language processing to describe it.

So we are looking at shocks for at least a year at this point guaranteed because they are complete fools.

And the fertilizers we create from that sludge mean that the cost will go through the roof right before planting season. And because they are fools farm labor costs are already high due to their deportations.

Because they are fools, they put off decarbonization for decades leashing us to petrostates and now our economy is going to grind to a halt because we cant get enough black sludge.

Because they are fools they outsourced intelligence to a chat other, killed innocent children, and closed down a major trade route.

And because they are fools they thought they could do a couple strikes, get slightly more friendly, but not too friendly leadership. Get a little more oil, but still keep the regional balance in place.

They didn't want protests in Iran to work. They wanted to sideline opposition because they need a boogeyman in the middle east.
