Celebrated the Chinese New Year with a Japanese Lager from Oregon brewery Pfriem...
Not bad, just a little more bitter than say Sapporo Super Dry. 20 IBU to 18 IBU.

オレゴンの醸造所Pfriemの日本のラガーで春節を祝いました…
悪くないですね。ただ、サッポロスーパードライより少し苦いくらいです。サッポロのIBU18に対して、IBUは20です。

It's been good crow weather in the PNW. Just enough rain to get the worms out of the ground but not cold enough to freeze the ground. Lots of robins around too.

A gathering of blue spring flowers — a small promise of what lies ahead, and an antidote to those Monday blues. Wishing you all a bright and hopeful start to the week.
Close-up collage of blue spring flowers against soft green backgrounds. Includes a violet-blue pansy with a yellow centre, grape hyacinths with a bee, a pale blue clematis, nodding Scillas, a honeybee feeding on forget-me-nots, hyacinths in bloom, and English bluebells.

This is daringly sheer. The devoré velvet dress presumably had a matching slip beneath it. Or perhaps not? It is a casually draped #1930s affair with a rhinestone clasped belt #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Front full length view of a wrap style 1930s dress made from voided devoré purple velvet with a floral fabric pattern. It has billowing sleeves and is belted with a rhinestone decorated belt.

She looks a little windswept, as if she is holding onto the front of her coat as a chill breeze whistles about her eyes. Hopefully she was wearing an equally cosy hat and softest gloves. Paul Poiret, mid #1920s #thekyotocostumeinstitute #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

The subtlety of whitework always intrigues me. The level of artisanship, the tiny stitches, only for it to blend into the background makes it more special, a secret to be enjoyed by the observant or overlooked by those in search of more obvious splendour. Gown c1800 #VandA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This is really good. Worth reading, especially for writers, artists and ghost story enjoyers.

New from me, at @vqr.bsky.social: a few years ago two people contacted me about a TEDx talk I once gave, “The Art of Haunting.”

When I replied I’d never given a TEDx talk, things just got weirder.

On AI, ghosts, what it means to tell a story, and what Italo Calvino saw coming 60 years ago. Enjoy!
The Art of Haunting
The email was innocuous enough. A woman wrote to me explaining how her partner had been talking about my work and how much he’d enjoyed it—in particular, he’d remembered me giving a TEDx talk about gh...

5月に私の住んでいる場所にTESOLifeの店舗がオープンするんですか？
ワシントン州にも店舗をオープンするみたいですね。
少なくともダイソーよりは近いでしょう。

Oh. A number of higher ups and two founders have left xAI in the last couple of days...including engineers. Around 12?

No info if it's in relation to the attempted merger with SpaceX. Just remember social media platform X is part of xAI, and there's investigations happening in several countries.

Okay Severance, Stiller said he's not directing this time due to conflicts so hoping filming will start on time. What I want to know about is Silo! Season 3 filming wrapped last year so it's been in post production for a few months already. I need something good to watch.

And Outcome trailer when?

Guessing this is due to federal government cut backs to In Home Support Services which partially paid family members to take care of disabled and elderly kin. And cut backs to Meals on Wheels and other programs. Also increases to nursing homes and care facilities due to more aging US population
