So the 3 year old grandson who is obsessed with airplanes - only likes them when they are flying! Too loud taking off, boring on the ground. #Aviationmuseum was less than a success. He liked throwing gravel in the lake though. #grandmasNotAlwaysRight #curiousWorldOfToddlers

I need to take the car to the car wash but that would mean leaving the AC again

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it.

Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.

#AlaskaSky Have you called Murkowski and Sullivan? Now's your chance to get through and leave a message. Ask them to vote against the #bigstupidbill.

I thought the king salmon and crab signs were clever. Props to the smart copywriter/designer who came up with that (seemed to be someone working for ACLU maybe).

Nearly 300 people from Newtok, AK, moved to a new village called Mertarvik as part of a federally funded effort to resettle communities threatened by climate change.

Then residents found a new crisis.

By @emilyschwing.bsky.social and w/ @washingtonpost.com‬ & KYUK
Newtok, Alaska, Was Supposed to Be a Model for Climate Relocation. Here’s How It Went Wrong.
The project’s challenges highlight how ill-prepared the U.S. is to respond to the way climate change is making some places uninhabitable.

If you haven't seen it yet, you can make up a completely fake proverb and as long as it SOUNDS like a proverb, Google will now create an origin for it.

can’t remember where I saw it but someone realized you could get google’s AI to hallucinate elaborate explanations for fake proverbs by just typing them into search and i just checked and google still hasn’t fixed it and now i can’t stop doing it
