Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 5hCurrently vacationing in Ontario. I have yet to meet a Canadian who offers an unkind word about anything or anyone other than trump. I love it here. 2631
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 6hI just read The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher. It’s enlightening, terrifying, and enraging. All in one. 010
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with trump? No, really what is wrong with republicans? Imagine Biden posting videos of lions attacking people and the reaction they’d be having. Fucking hypocrites the lot of them. 000
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I was one. Recognized his sleaze when he was “the donald.” I kind of threw up in my mouth a bit just writing it. 030
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 13/10/2026There it is. The comparison I was trying to make in my head. 010
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Life-long Cardinals fan but gotta root for the Brewers in this post season. 010
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Heroic juniper. Thuja occidentalis. Almost like our southern red cedar but not quite. 000
Reposted by TimChristopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 12/10/2026Yikes! Have you guys seen this? The creep factor in Steve Hilton’s “Just Try It” campaign ad is off the charts. Republicans are losing their shit over it. Calling it “creepy,” “weird,” and sexually suggestive. Some are flat-out embarrassed. Evangelical pastor Jack Hibbs called it “grotesque.” 161722252
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Thanks for the reminder. We’re vacationing in Ontario and I’ll know to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. 110
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 11/10/2026There are people who view peace and quiet as a void to be filled with their incessant jabbering. 020
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It’s so wrong to kill somebody that if you do we’ll kill you. 000
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 10/10/2026This is why I remain NPA. Don’t worry, one has to vote down the lone this election. But damn, tits on a boarhog useless. 010

Bender @emilymbender.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or be able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment. I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >> 471798600
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I find myself generally being nice for just that reason. 140
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Over the summer I absolutely savaged Claude for failing to break the Y axis in a graph in R. I told it you’ll never take over the world if you can’t figure out how to put a break in a Y axis. Now I look forward to doing my worst again. 020
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 09/10/2026“Linux not ready for primetime” that’s funny. I suppose it depends on your definition of prime time. I’ve been using it for years, no issues. Can’t imagine ever purchasing a windows/microsoft product again. For my version of prime time it’s fucking junk. But if it works for you, great. 020
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I switched fifteen years ago and have never regretted it. I put it on MacBook Pros. It just works. 020
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Barring bad news of course, the worst part of that is the night before. Yuck. 000
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I stopped using amazon some time ago. They can go fuck themselves. 000
Tim @timsparachute.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The Miccosukee have my eternal respect for never signing a treaty with the US. They care about the ‘Glades in a way most white folks don’t understand. 000
