In case anyone is wondering how the professional services industry (engineer, architect, etc) is doing these days. This screenshot is from a major city that *never* has a blank page per se for this kind of work. I've been in the industry since the 90s and have never seen it this bad, this barren.

I have a ScanSnap S1500M. It was made in 2009. Software is EOL. That's not the point, though. I've decided to move on, but suddenly I'm going all Toy Story 2 with it and it's Jessie and I'm going to abandon it after years and it will feel hurt. WTF is wrong with me?

Black communities' vulnerability to climate change is not by accident. It was built through government decisions about where to invest and which communities to protect. From Gary, IN to Flint, MI to New Orleans, LA — the story repeats itself. Climate adaptation must become a civil rights priority.

Racist policy caused climate vulnerability. Restorative policy is the remedy.
Climate adaptation must become a civil rights project.

I wish Roku would make a remote for the AppleTV. I said what I said. I also know about the Function101 remote; it's good but loses ability to control the volume occasionally.

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling. Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

Jim Henson was born on this day in 1936.
Edward Hopper's 'Nighthawks', but the man and woman at the counter of the diner are now Fozzie and Miss Piggy. The guy with his back to us is now Bert, but Bert is being operated by Frank Oz, who is crouched down in front of the counter. The waiter/server is now Jim Henson who is looking intently at Kermit, and Kermit, who is occupying half of Jim's right arm, is looking intently at Jim. The diner is now called "JIMMYS".

JAYNE MANSFIELD had an IQ of 163, spoke 5 languages, and was a more than proficient Violinist, as evidenced here playing Vivaldi's Concerto No. 6 in A minor on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1957.

While I agree, and I do agree, it's not as arguable when a series only has 10 episodes in a season. Still, whenever people try to argue that new Trek is too silly and not as serious as the original, I just post this.

I think the Marauder was under-appreciated; I wish we would have gotten an XL of it when Eaglemoss was still running. Ditto an XL of the original vertical design of the Romulan Warbird (though I really love what we got); that would have been pretty great to have on a shelf.

Hello from Northern Spain #eclipse
A total solar eclipse hangs low over a rural Spanish landscape, the dark disc of the Moon surrounded by the Sun’s glowing corona. Hazy evening light washes across rolling fields and distant hills, with scattered trees and a solitary church silhouetted beneath the eclipsed Sun.

After the OPEC oil embargo in the 70s, this country should never have gone back to fossil fuels as its primary fuel source. We had avenues, Reagan just cut them off. Imagine where we'd be at this point if he hadn't.

Annoyance: when you get a product (say, a shoe) and it's great and perfect and you go to buy a replacement down the road and they no longer offer it or they've "upgraded" it to the point that it's not compatible to the original you bought. (first world problem, I know, but shoes are critical)

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

A big annoyance while watching #DisneyPlus on my computer; I will set the subtitles for the largest size (still not very large) & make full screen. The episode ends and the full screen turns off and the subtitles reset, meaning I need to set the subtitles customization with every single episode.

"drifting" Brought to mind a day near Lake Pontchartrain during my 20s; life was really starting to crunch me and I went to the lakefront, sat on a bench, and just watched a storm drift by in the distance. At the time, it was centering and serene. I let my mind drift rather than think.
