Stretch-4 putting in work on the offensive and defensive glass.

Aspiring to play lead and rhythm guitar.

My posts disappear.
A proper editor would have made some kind of add to tie the bamboo in the backyard to hiking the Appalachian Trail.
God bless editors. Especially the ones who save you from yourself.

The script I run each week to inventory new documents uploaded to the AP's DocumentCloud instance found quite a few new additions last week.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.

They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

In which I scraped 10 months of operations plans...

On weekends between Jan. 1 & Sept. 30, an average of 8.3 facilities announced the potential for staffing issues, according to an AP analysis.

During the weekends since the shutdown began, the average grew to 26.2.

As an adult who returned to school to finish my bachelor’s degree, and an adjunct for a pass/fail class, so much of this rings true… especially when it comes days after getting an 85% on a mid-term essay…

Our ofrenda grew by three this year… a grandma, a cousin and a puppy dog. May they all find their way to us this evening.

Went into Sora because I was curious & made my share of AI-derived slop cat videos, but I also tried taking real analysis lines from a story and prompting it to make a chart.

It isn't ... terrible? It's not great. It lacks context & it probably sucked an acre-foot of water out of Lake Mendota...

Wrote a thing to scan the homepages of about 140 federal agencies, take a screenshot of the homepage and scan the URLs for messages related to the government shutdown so they can be tracked over time.

Have reached the point of parenting — and age — where I have to ask myself if it's better to throw away the leftover pizza the kids didn't eat last Friday and not put it into my body, or maintain my aversion to wasting food but eating crap.

Thinking of Don Henley singing from his 40-acre luxury residence, looking out onto Point Dume.

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

Dryer stopped working, the roof is leaking, kitchen lights stopped turning on, my new tremolo pedal doesn't work and ants are creeping in from all corners...

LFG.

Important read if only to begin to understand how needlessly complicated we have made our world.
NEW from @kashhill.bsky.social and me:

Over three weeks in May, a man became convinced by ChatGPT that the fate of the world rested on his shoulders.

Otherwise perfectly sane, Allan Brooks is part of a growing number of people getting into chatbot-induced delusional spirals. This is his story.

The friendship our family has formed with the baby roadrunner that frequents our yard in the morning has reached the stage where my wife and kids will pick up dead cockroaches and crickets with a dustpan and feed the little bird...

It's about as cute as you can imagine.

This one was way up there on my wishlist… Strong memories.

Summer of 1998. Back of an accord on Highway 10, leaving Trackside Bar on a weekday afternoon. The wind was rippling through your hair. Does that moment and all that came after ever cross your mind?

Was never into Sabbath and Bark at the Moon scared the shit out of me as a kid, but there’s no disputing the mark Ozzy made on rock-and-roll and the sound he and Tony Iommi ushered into our collective consciousness - and dare I say - it occupied our brain.

Wow!

It’s my lucky number too!!!

If there’s something that is deep in my DNA it’s sad 90s songs.

Now, choices must be made.

Yeah dude…
