A good news story: a year old male mountain lion walking around a San Francisco neighborhood was successful tranquilized and relocated to wilderness, in part because the neighborhood helped out and had the right attitude.

network activity is way up today, presumably driven by ICE shooting Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
this hasn't been showing up in Bluesky Trending Topics. that is not intentional, and we are still trying to debug why it hasn't.

The hairdresser holds up the mirror so I can see the back of my haircut but she accidentally uses the mirror that reveals how you die. I see my 80-year-old self tumbling down a hill after slacklining for the 1st time. I never know how to react in these situations, so I just mumble "wow I love it"

Notably, this process of personalization, automating grudgework according to what is found through experience to be annoyingly repetitious, is something LLM's destroy.
A vibecoder doesn't know what boilerplate is.
A stenographer can't outsource their dictionary to an LLM.

In Preservation culture, asking payment for anything considered necessary for living (food, power sources, education, the feed, etc.) was considered outrageous, but asking payment for life-saving help was right up there with cannibalism.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

When I was a kid watching Jurassic Park, I thought Ian Malcolm was a killjoy who didn't understand how cool it was to have real live dinosaurs. It's an understandable position for a nine year old. But some people never grew out of that mindset and unfortunately some of them have billions of dollars.

👇🏻 so exhausting
The world is chock to the brim with (mostly) men who have been socialized to engage in conversation as if it were competition, and I'm over it. I'm tired of that being seen as the norm, while collaborative and supportive types of communication are treated like a niche or an aberration.

So, the frog stopped the National Guard from coming to Portland, along with astute lawsuits by Oregon. Only part of what's happening, but hard to understate how fundamentally the Portland Frog changed perceptions and helped morale. Humor, imagination, courage, savvy.

I don't doubt that short term video isn't *helping* but I'd like to remind everyone that trauma fucks up your short term memory and most of the planet recently had a vascular illness that affects brain function.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.
