Got a clean bill of health for my shitty, industrially-poisoned lungs. They're doing as well as they can, which is great. Too bad my fantastic lung doctor is being forced into retirement. He's not allowed to work fulltime or just at the lung clinic. He must also work in emergency, which has […]

In 2025 we got a #Crustmas update on the most enigmatic parsasitic barnacle, the y-larva, whose adult remains unknown.

I'm one of the two luckiest people on Earth, because I just realized that every single love story happy ending is basically the beginning of what Lyricdancer and I have shared since 1988.

Blessed. Grateful. I wish everyone could find what we've found.

Why don’t they capture these vessels and display what they were carrying?

Wouldn’t that be better PR?

Mozilla has a new CEO which:

- Has been at Mozilla for less than a year
- Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate")
- Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma")
- Is all-in on AI

That’s exactly the kind of profile the whole community has been waiting for.
