Are there only like twenty working actors in the UK at any given point in history? Has it always been like this.

Taking a beat to appreciate Fat Bear Week. Likely the all-time most successful government social media campaign by every metric. NASA has to send people to space to get the same amount of attention. Remarkable work from NPS every year to coordinate the public observation of fat bears.

Currently deep into Dad Mode where i'm refusing to turn on the heat just yet. 67°F is a perfectly cromulent temperature! Put on a sweater!! (This resolve will collapse at the first sign of my Raynaud's zombie finger.)

Being in your mid-50s is great, because you're eligible for so many discounts AND vaccines. All my friends checking in with each other to see who's getting what, like we're trading Garbage Pail Kids in the cafeteria.

Look. The reason university administrators want to force LLMs into everything—and are willing to pay for the privilege—is that their ideal institution has no faculty or academic staff. They’re probably actually willing to pay MORE for that.

I am actually grateful for social media today. If you are under 25, you are getting a more honest accounting of the post 9/11 era than I got about the post-Vietnam era than I did as a young person. I attribute this 100% to social media. Traditional media and US politicians cannot be counted on.

Spouse and i did this. Once. Twenty years ago. And y'know, cows are not mostly made up of interesting cuts. It was a lot of ground beef. A lot. By contrast, the pork share was an amazing value. We got half a pig once a year for almost a decade.

Gretchen with THE CORRECT TAKE. I've always been so baffled by people annoyed that Pluto "isn't a planet" anymore. If you love planets so much, why aren't you excited by the prospect of MOAR PLANETS??? Smol planets! Chibi planets!! Tiny, adorable planets! 🥰

There's an anecdote (which i'll invariably get slightly wrong, forcing spouse to come by and correct) about spouse and friends hanging out, when one checks the news and gasps, "Francesco! The Italian government has collapsed." To which Francesco's reply was largely a yawn and "Yeah, it does that."

The vine was making a play for (a) spouse's scooter, and (b) the neighbors on the other side of the south fence, so we had to completely (gently) rearrange its growth path. But if we can get ONE homegrown jack o'lantern out of this, i'll be pleased.

Talking with @errantpedant.bsky.social about what YouTube rabbit hole he's most likely to get addicted to and radicalized. And while i think bushcrafting is pretty high on the list, on the other hand he'd still need internet access so he could complain on Bluesky about the local weasels and stoats.
