A guy at the B2B conference was talking to me about where my career might go - basically sniffing around to see if I would get into consulting. I told him I want to drop out and be an artfuck. He told me he knew a guy who made a lot of money with NFTs.
Anyway, I flew home early today.
I'm at an event called MasterB2B and I thought I was being childish about the name being so close to Masterbate but they just announced a related book called Bot 2 Bot and I definitely see what's going on
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
Like I told the New York Post - real archaeologists are right to be mad that archaeology isn't better preserved in Philadelphia! I have sympathy for their frustration. But before you get mad at me, or presume you know more than me, maybe look at even just a little bit of what I've done.
And it's partially because of that fan base (and partially because I'm middle-aged now) that I'm engaging positively, instead! This is the mind of someone who's been tortured by academia, and has only been in the real world a couple of years. I don't need to make this any more awkward than it is.
My terminally online instinct is to put her on blast and call her ignorant. She's telling people who own and run major institutions how they need to learn more about Actual Archaeology, and I hope she clicks on their names soon and begins to understand what kind of fan base our podcast has.
When I asked the woman yelling at The Boghouse on Facebook how she could help us, she suggested we
1) Stop construction
2) Go to school for 2 years to learn archaeology
3) Something about Section 106, Cultural Resource Management
4) Be happy we didn't die
5) Just "involve archaeologists"
It's real.

It's been a while, but we got someone yelling at our Boghouse Facebook page about real archaeology and how we are awful and should stop, and how we need to educate ourselves.
✌️
Yessssssss
Thanks - she PUT IN THE WORK. I really appreciated the collection of voices she brought to the story. Maybe one day we'll have a city archaeologist again
The pedestrian accessibility devices in Philadelphia have regional accents and I hope that never goes away, now that it's been established.
It's such an upgrade from the detached dystopian voice that used to announce the dystopian. I love that they have local accents, and I even hope other cities follow suit.
The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

We* once set wearable tech back a decade by relentlessly mocking Google Glass wearers, we can do it again with Zuck’s Pervert Glasses.

So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

I mean I did visit Phoenix once in adulthood and it wasn't for me, but it is kind of fun to say I was born in the desert in the 70s

Spotify starves artists to pay this fuckin clown millions. It can feel daunting to leave if you've lived in it for years, but streaming music is a utility now, it's easier than you think to swap providers (and bring your playlists/library with you). Here's a good guide from @bcmerchant.bsky.social:
I like to believe that Trumpy Bear is run by leftists or anarchists, or at the very least by folks who DGAF about Trump but are very happy to extract money from our American culture of relentless consumerism
Fuck yeah. The only time I took someone to court, I represented myself and won - and even though it was a paltry amount and it was a year of insane stress and inconvenience, there's nothing quite like the feeling of winning in the end. Glad to hear this shitty chapter had a good ending.
Tired of coughing.
Thinking of the grown man at Wawa outside of DC, fully open-mouth coughing into the void like a wild toddler. Thinking of my work colleague who, after dinner in Omaha, asked me to repeat myself because his ear was plugged up.
We survived a deadly pandemic and learned nothing.
My friends from central PA tell me how they appreciate the stuff I post on Facebook, but all y'all living in the thick of it are doing the real work as far as I'm concerned.
