I'm at my parents'.
They receive a paper copy of the New York Times.
I could not possibly know, reading what's here, that the US' federal agencies are being deliberately destroyed, that the VP is catering to Putin, or any of the things that are actually important right now.

@alissaazar
The organizers seemed really new and like they were learning on the fly very quickly. I'm waiting to hear how Olympia went.
I hope the success today means there are now some newly minted organizers ready to move to the next thing (and with maybe more communication explaining things like, e.g., here's what you do when somebody in the crowd starts hurling rocks or when the Brown Shirts attack.)

@Andres4NY @seabikeblog
Nope. That prize goes to Dianne Freaking Feinstein. Now and then and forever.

@mekkaokereke
Just in case you don't know about the Black WW2 combat pilots Mekka is referring to:

@mekkaokereke
Indeed! You mentioned that before and if caught my attention.
I'm curious how much (miles, minutes per day or week).

I'm leaning into more walking going forward.

@mekkaokereke
I've been meaning to ask.
How much walking do you do as your cardio routine?

@Meron @ZekuZelalem
I apologize if I'm intruding.
Just so I'm sure I'm not misunderstanding, you all are talking about a third person who is not associated with this article, right?

@ZekuZelalem

@Meron looks awesome but the account hasn't posted anything since 2023...

@ditol @ZekuZelalem @Meron
Thank you. I keep forgetting to do that.

@jonah
Also, I'm now glad I chose Fastmail. I'm sure their executives are just as awful but their work force is in a #union.

@inthehands @mattmcirvin @futurebird @graymiller
Fricking Nostradumus going on right here...
As soon as I read it, it's obvious that's what's going to happen.

@EricFielding
Awesome! Well, if Kyle Macdonald still works there, tell him an anonymous hydrologic modeling grad student from 20 years ago said hi.
I thought back then about changing my whole life just so I could work there.
I'm glad JPL made it through the fire.

@EricFielding
Do you work there?

@EricFielding
I ask because I briefly worked with somebody there 20 years ago.

@ErickaSimone
I've been trying to tell if the fire got to JPL. I see it's in the evacuation zone but it looked like the fire was pretty far west and was moving south not west.

I didn't know about Octavia Butler's house. I live in the #seattle area so I mainly know about her life up here.

@ZekuZelalem
You've bowled me over a few times posting threads here. I feel like I'm a informed about the Horn as I've ever been.
And, all that aside it's been a thrill watching you yourself get recognition.
Happy New Year!

@ZekuZelalem
This shows some impressive and creative use of publicly available sources of reconnaissance.
The conversion of a football stadium this way is awful.

@futurebird
I think crows might have cats beat, as measured in units of diva-emotion/kg but mainly because they weigh less than one kg.

@mekkaokereke
Congratulations!
And now the most important questions: What color is it? And what is its name?
(Deep dark indigo blue. "Lady Miss Marlene Mixalot")

@dangillmor
I'm not sure what to say.
I tried Tidal for awhile. It was more to pay and had only a little less wrong with it.
I might tolerate commercials but not YouTube commercials and I'm trying to disentangle myself from Google.
I'm not going to join Apple's walled garden.
So I'm still on Spotify.
I tried focusing on the "lo fi hip hop" label I like that has actual artists, (Inner Ocean). Guess what? That sent me back to Spotify.
