I apologize to the reader, if I didn't post the bad thoughts they would fester in my brain and cause permanent damage. The only things I have useful knowledge of are fly fishing and building codes.

Three hydroelectric dams on the Skagit River in Washington state have long blocked salmon from migrating north into British Columbia. Now, fish passage around the dams may be restored, and First Nations are preparing for the potential return of salmon to their territories.

Seattle’s dams cut off Canada’s salmon. A century later, they may be coming back
After U.S. Tribes won a hard-fought agreement to restore fish passage around Seattle's dams, First Nations in British Columbia are preparing for the possible return of salmon to waters they've been absent from for more than a century

I once refused a cocktail at an interview because I thought it was a test. It was, a test to see if I would fit into their culture of drinking on the job. Still got the job six months later after they invited me out again and we got blasted as a group.

I really enjoyed Resident Evil. It had the frenetic energy of REC/Quarantine, solid body horror, felt like a video game but in a much less campy way than similar attempts, and built tension so well the entire audience jumped during the bedroom scene. No notes, had a great time, highly recommend.

My office sent me home for 3-6 weeks. I now despise working from home, it seemed kind of chill and fun during COVID but not anymore. I cannot wake up in my house, work all day in my house then go to bed in my house when there's a whole world outside I am allowed to exist in. It feels wrong.

I'm sorry to have to tell people this but bureaucracy is kinda...good. Wielding dictatorial power may feel good but it the pain of catastrophic failure is far greater than the persistent annoying tingle of things taking time.

The more I ponder this the more I think it explains a chunk of Trump support. The government doesn't do performative power anymore, it was thought to be unseemly for tax dollars to go toward unnecessary aesthetics. I think people like Trump and their pastor looking rich, it makes them feel rich too.

I've got this marriage stuff on lock if anyone needs advice. When your wife yells "Do we have a caulk gun?" from another room just keep yelling back "What's a cock gun?!" over and over until she makes a sound I can only describe as primordial frustration before declaring she found it.

For reference, being defined by your opposition hasn't changed and democrats have been saying the same things for more than a decade. If anything Warren is more eloquent than AES while doing the same dance, I'm not convinced current candidates need to know these steps because it doesn't seem to work

In my High School a big chunk of the school did band together and agree that they wanted to join the military to kill "towel heads". One of my classmates committed suicide because he had a drug conviction and was told it would prevent him from signing up.

I know he's out of vogue but the longer this drags on the more I'm convinced Chomsky accurately grasped how the world works in Manufacturing Consent. Maybe its cracking a little right now but we're talking about squeaking out another seat to make up for Fetterman during a rolling national crisis...

The tone of all of these interviews makes it seem like the people directly responsible for everything about these programs have their hands tied when it comes to doing anything about them. Like some hidden force is holding them back from being explicit about what needs to be done.

It only takes fifteen minutes of reading to figure out something like 5% of data center investment is on hold due to local push back but exponentially more of these projects are threatened by shortages of critical components. Why are we wasting so much time chastising concerned Americans?

I am realizing I stopped being chronically engaged with online discourse before COVID but most people ramped up during it and they don't get how this works. None of this is real but the more people accept it as real the worse the real world will get. The way we are online isn't how we should be.

I'm fed up with the vibecession, do the people constantly resurrecting this fight not go outside and talk to people? Almost everyone I know is doing objectively well and is also edging into critical burnout. I'm 40, most of my social circle is 35-55, a lot of homeowners, doing better than average.
