Good news: my blood titer results came back and it turns out I still have measles immunity from the childhood MMR vaccine I got back in the last century. Because my parents were not idiots. I have passed on the family tradition of not being idiots by fully vaccinating my kids.

Parents, don’t be idiots.

Email from work: Good news! We’ve just upgraded our security system at the main entrance.
The security system: this one Very Angry goose. Best not forget your badge!

Not too #christmas-y here in Boulder County, #colorado. But it’s nice to do a Christmas Eve bike ride.

@knapjack @skinnylatte Is it really though? ;-)

Christmas Cat activated, festivity vegetable deployed.

TIL Ball Corporation (maker of aluminum cans and glass canning jars and eventually satellites) once made a jet aircraft which could fly extremely slowly.

Puffins!
I often wonder why I bother lugging the big camera around when iPhones are so damn good these days. Then I get a shot like this. #puffins #Iceland #birdphotography

@bmacDonald94 This is so good. But for my money, their cover of When the Levee Breaks is maybe even better than the original. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LH0-WXUFY2k

#Iceland day 3. 🇮🇸. Lots of driving and lots of rain. Black sand and columnar basalt beaches, more waterfalls, anxiety over running out of gas, up close and personal with bazillions of puffins, and the northernmost southernmost point in the world.

I tend to be the least squee person in any given room but OMG!!! PUFFINS!!! They are utterly charming.

Radio: “The NBA and WNBA are negotiating new contracts around meteorites.”
Me: “Wha?”
Radio continues to talk about media rights.

Feh! I really liked the idea of Caitlin Clark being paid in space rocks.

@jonobie @mdm @karabaic @mekkaokereke That’s because in Washington (and Colorado, and other civilized places) voting is seen as a feature not a bug. In Texas, you have to run a marathon over flaming hot coals to even get a ballot, and then be told you don’t have the right kind of ID (the kind that shows your skin as white, of course).

Ummm… is this really their natural environment?

This is your periodic reminder of the single greatest US #licenseplate plate ever.

This is much deeper than your typical bumper sticker.

@Mrfunkedude Actually, you *do* make the rules ;-)
