Went for a long walk at Hawk Island Park today. We saw deer and waterfowl. Bigger than I remembered.

House Dinosaur Sunny wants her head scritched. Doesn’t realize she has to first walk over to the hand. She’s sweet but not really bright.

I'd almost feel bad for his standing section having to pretend this is normal if they weren't such a knot of toads.

In so many ways it feels like Trump is doing a speed run of Bush’s second term and I should remind you that Bush fucked up so badly that a country built on the back of slavery and Jim Crow said “yeah sure, let’s try the black guy, it’s really that bad.”

"There has never been a more money-losing technology than the large language model, and yet it is aimed mainly at creating business problems rather than solving them." Every meeting of our "AI group" is people unable to answer what problem we're trying to solve but 100% it needs to include genAI.

3 years ago I landed in Mexico City and went to Cuernavaca for a week of work. The Holiday Inn was beautiful*. I immediately got Influenza A and ran a 102 fever.Working in a glass factory. A Mexican colleague kept me alive *Infinity pool, botanical garden, pond full of turtles. Cheap prices too.

I forgot to tell you the red bellied woodpecker showed up at the suet feeder two days in a row. Bad photo because I didn’t want to get close and frighten him off. They love the spicy peanut meal suet.

There should be no “presumption of regularity” for these corrupt, lying incompetents. We all have to assume everything they say is a lie.

I would like my apps and pharmacy to stay the heck out of my business. I don’t have a ‘health journey’. That’s something CVS made up so we could be buddies. And Apple’s Health app is the last place I would reveal my psychological condition. Nope.

OTD in 1966. I remember a lot of these and I was only 7 years old. The good ones got airplay for decades. I wonder if that still happens

OTD in 1972. I feel like there used to be more novelty songs.

Hi I’m awake. The Profit From Free Energy seminar turned out to be a MLM about gravity. Seek arbitrage opportunities where commodities are at higher elevation than markets. My dreams are so weird these days.

I screwed this up. Spent the day making a mounting board and installing this tonearm. Apparently I have trouble telling the difference between 225mm and 250mm so it’s an inch off. Which is a lot. Dunno if I can fix it or have to buy more walnut and start over. It plays though, with adjustments.

On the one hand high fuel prices are clobbering the transportation industry and especially independent truckers. On the other hand if a bunch of people decide not to drive their 14MPG deluxe pickups to the polls in November I won’t be mad.

You would think the nephew of John F. Kennedy, who currently holds a position in the Trump administration, would have something to say about the potential destruction of the beloved Kennedy Center, but I guess letting children die of preventable diseases is a full time job.

This 50 year old turntable tonearm accessory mount (left) is 50 years old. I need another one. It’s only available used for $100 or a rough 3D printed copy for $50. I fabricated one (right) in about 2 leisurely hours from materials on hand. It’s not perfect but it works.
