I am rural Vermont with no cell reception, no live TV. But I do have Wi-Fi. Even though big news came down today, it’s a relief to not have to pay attention because there are still so many blowhards out there.

I petted a goat and caught a newt. I’m feeling pretty relaxed.

Pentagon Strikes Back Against Claims of Alien Invaders

I can only hope these blowhards like Elizondo get their due.

So-called "zombie fires" in the peatlands of Alaska, Canada and Siberia disappear from the Earth's surface and smoulder underground during the winter before coming back to life the following spring.

I am 💯for large scale adoption of green energy and EVs. Full stop.

It’s silly to complain those things are “polluting” in comparison to the old options. You can’t get a perfect solution but the tech will improve. Stop with the ridiculous excuses. Even expense isn’t a sound blanket excuse anymore, all things considered.

Me: I'm not going to answer the strange kid yelling HI repeatedly from the neighboring porch. Just. Not.

I'm not the rude one in this situation. Teach your kids not to make a scene or demand attention.

When some new eager contributor appears in a social setting, a few people give praise even if the content is really not special, even if it's outright BAD.

To say nice things about mediocre stuff is acceptable and lauded. However, to express a modicum of dislike is not. So, we end up with... enshittification of a podcast, forum, website, feed, etc.. This is a biased, bad system.

This is outrageous. Typical for these self described “moral” religious activists. Liars, bribers and cheats. And they will continue to get away with it because of our ridiculous deference to Judeo-Christian philosophy in the US.

Waiting for my kid to come in on a plane with her dog. It's a long drive, then, to pick her up. I'm a bundle of nerves. I hate waiting, don't know what to do with myself. The best laid plans means we're safe at home by around 9:30 tonight.

Back home. 45 min later than expected but no real troubles. Puppers is chillin’ in his home away from home.

But it's all I can do. I try my best.

People who set off backyard fireworks on are idiots who think it's appropriate to honor military personnel who died by blowing things up.

@realTuckFrumper It's lazy to have a news story composed almost entirely of Tweets. Embarrassing on both sides.

Wonky photo but newly volunteered foxglove is outrageous!
Planted in 2016 or so. Bloomed a second year-then disappeared.
Now it's back. About 3 feet tall.
And PINK!!

Gave up Google search for Duck Duck and the web looks way different.

@zoomar I found the DDG returned the exact same results as Bing. When I was looking for news, I got almost all MSN syndicated stories. So I quit using it. I can't find any really good search engine.

@zoomar I've discovered a Google workaround that people have been promoting. It does work. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/google-search-without-ads-or-ai-how-to-get-just-links-in-your-results/

I get annoyed when people use anachronistic examples to lend support to their dubious claims.

The coelacanth and platypus were not because the concept didn't exist yet. Rocks falling from the sky was not phenomenon before they were called meteorites.

Times change. Precise definitions matter. Don't cheat when you have lousy evidence.

I feel a bit smug for having dropped the New York Times and Washington Post from my resource list several years ago when it was obvious how awful they were. Confused that people keep consuming garbage for so long. Probably same people still on Xitter. Discernment matters.
