All I can say is that Northwoods #Baseball #Sleep Radio has been a game changer in managing my occasional 3 a.m. hamster wheel brain. I don’t know who these guys are and maybe I don’t wanna know, but good job, them.

Yes, yes, that's a GREAT idea, let's arm robot dogs with flame throwers! Great idea! (they are pitching this for prescribed fire burning for wildfire prevention and "snow and ice removal from driveways"... at least until they find a military buyer, I am sure). #robot #dogs #weapons #flamethrowers #dystopia https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/company-unveil-robot-dog-companion-with-flamethrower-attached/vi-AA1nvoEb

Crissy Field, Jan 1964
I'm sure you know that before it was big grassy field and reclaimed marsh, Crissy Field was an airstrip in the Presidio. and yes, that's the decrepit original Palace of Fine Arts in the background. #sfhistory

A few weeks back I encountered a FOSS guy here explaining that when he sees open source devs ask for money, he blocks them and then stops using their code because they're morally wrong and he only wants to work with tools made by people who are doing the work for the right reasons. (I'm paraphrasing to avoid indexing the post.)

I've resisted writing about it because I'm slammed, but the question I can't shake is: Who benefits from the ideology of "pure" volunteerism?

Forgot to tag the thousands of travelers stranded in Big Sur this weekend with #PostcardsFromTheAnthropocene

“We came here just to have lunch and go home, and now it’s like everyone is trapped here...The couple went to a general store and bought some emergency supplies: water, hot dogs and instant oatmeal."

Interesting, Philippines dish that mostly involves deep frying pork bellies. Can't be the healthist dish. LOL. Apparently no veggies at the lunch counter. #fried #pork

I wrote about the Vice Media implosion and why I don't think the U.S. media industry is capable of being honest with itself as to why this keeps happening:

Is your boyfriend/girlfriend really apologizing, or are they just saying that? #ATT #outage

Interesting, apparently that "other site" is blocking links to at least one academic website University of Bristol (UK). (not that anyone here should be surprised). #birdsite #twitter (via @scruffy65)

“If, as is widely speculated, officers secretly stopped making arrests to protest reforms and coerce public sentiment against ​‘liberal’ policies, that would be a criminal dereliction of the police duty and oath that demands disciplinary action.” https://www.cjcj.org/reports-publications/report/california-law-enforcement-agencies-are-spending-more-but-solving-fewer-crimes

NY Times: Wildfire Smoke Will Worsen, New Study Shows, and Protections Are Few

Climate change is amplifying wildfires, and more smoke means higher risk of heart and lung disease from inhaling tiny particles that can drift far and wide, researchers said.

What's the most unhinged children's television show that you grew up watching?

Not sure whether to be outraged or impressed: Somebody stole the entire 200-foot broadcast tower for a licensed AM radio station in Alabama. @ai6yr

I'm trying to find a good introductory essay/article (or video/pod) about government media regulation in the U.S. Something I could teach to undergraduates. Any ideas? Everything I've looked at is out of date.
