I live in the Cove and walk in mountains.

This is mostly flowers and sunsets.

The likelihood of a SHA256 collision (a 64-character hex hash) is about 1 in 10^77. There are only about 10^80 atoms in the universe. You're far more likely to encounter hardware errors, cosmic ray bit flips, or bugs in your code than an actual collision. (thanks, AI: there's always a bug or 12)

Why not just raise taxes on Americans making over $500K a year, along with cutting the massive overspending on the US military?

Rather than watching Melania, folks should watch "Ask E. Jean" movie about E. Jean Carroll.

Oh, sorry you can't, because the US regime has intimidated film distributors from showing it, because Trump is a loser.

The thrilling and adventurous life of beloved advice columnist and gonzo journalist E. Jean Carroll, the only woman to beat Trump in court. Twice.

Wonder when Kristi Noem will add every MN protestor to the DoNotFly list.

Time to cancel Amazon Prime. Amazon spent $80 million to make the unnecessary Melania movie to curry favor with the authoritarian US regime.

Schumer has the stronger hand. He should not just choke off DHS funding to a trickle, but demand that all ICE activities stop for 30 days not just in MSP but across the US, with a revote on additional funding at the end of Feb.

You don't deal with a bully by caving in (but Schumer will)

Deep Creek Hot Springs were a bummer, man.

The most underreported fact about the chemical attack on @repilhan.bsky.social at a town hall is that she actually had a physical meeting with her constituents--unlike many Republicans, who cowardly prefer to hold 'town halls' from their basement over Zoom and avoid the tough questions.

Ah, another jellyfish sighting: National Symphony Orchestra conductor says "I cannot make everyone happy."

So he'll settle for placating the fascist regime.

this small glimmer of hope from Zaid brought tears to my eyes

But Donald Trump “will go and we will stay,” he said. “We Somalis know how to survive. We’ve been through a lot—civil war, refugee camps.

Found some cicada shells on the callistemon tree. There’s about a dozen of these. Curious.

In a sour mood today so I thought I’d plant a Pretti garden of seedlings I’ve been nurturing for several months. Result: very slightly less sour mood, plus found a fire ant nest ugh.

dreams today: at a family retreat with a guru at a coach house near Pt Reyes. guru comes up and pricks each person then whispers a question to them; if he doesn't like the answer he tears off some skin and puts in it a bag. next, family members connect by feeling each others forearms... 1/

In my dream, cats have shelves under their spines and bellies, so you can stash trinkets like keys and change and USB thumb drives. Sometimes you misplace your keys because the cat is hiding away and napping

I have always had wild dreams. Sometimes I remember them for days. Don’t be alarmed. I like remembering them, they’re weird and curious.
