I want to know your places, because that stuff is impossible to find around here right now!

I really need to meet some cool people in Boston, I spend enough time there

So far the Epstein files have been a better takedown of Great Man Theory than almost any actual academic criticism.

Who needs analysis when you have concrete primary sources proving a wide swath of upper echelon individuals are actually straight up morons?

California Proposition 65, as the law is formally known, has been a butt of jokes for this for decades.

This is the extreme logical equivalent of printing "Asbestos is bad" on asbestos paper and handing it out.

Late stage Prop 65 is when shipping labels themselves require self-referential warning labels about how dangerous they might be.

The first season was a little rough, they focused too much on the ultraviolence and not enough on the dark satire, but season two has perfectly captured the world. Might be the best game to TV/Movie adaptation ever made.

Pterosaurs were the ecological equivalent of your friend's mall sword collection.

Had an hour before work to stare at ducks on the Columbia. Big wigeon hours. (Also Goldeneyes, Scaups, Ring Necks, Mergansers, and Buffleheads)

The carcinization of Elf on a Shelf is proceeding ahead of schedule.

There's an almost religious conviction among antique dealers, that someday someone will pay $5 for a tin of spices Grandma bought at Safeway in 1976.

I'd like to know which hominid ancestor decided to evolve a patch of hair on its head that never stops growing.

My job does make this cheating a little bit.

"So what did you do at your beach resort overnight?"

Stupid question. I went out into the mosquito-infested jungle to look at birds, of course.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Though we may not all keep in touch as much as I'd like, know that I have thought about each and every one of you over the holidays. You're all equally missed, whether it's been a day or a year.

Cheers, friends, to when we next may meet!

@rallywuff.bsky.social my God. I think you're actually onto something.

Why yes, I am at #BLFC2025!

Caught a brief glimpse as I pulled out yesterday! Glad someone got pics

There are only two seasons:
-The 3 weeks where I can traipse through the garden eating fresh berries straight from the bush

-Everything else

What an epic trip! Happy Birthday!

... Although I am sometimes a victim of my own ambition.

This mud and weed-infested plot is going to transform into a veritable garden of eden over the next few months

-Me, going out my front door for any reason
-Bluey, our resident scrub jay: *manifests*

It's been going around. I feel like in the airline industry it will be impossible to avoid.

Fantastic episode of SkyTV tonight! High quality in-flight entertainment.

Stevie, 2006-2025

It's never easy to say goodbye.

Stevie stuck with us for nearly 19 years, through many moves and deployments. She was never one for cuddling, but was always there to greet me when I got home. She liked having her ears squeezed and playing with toys under rugs.

I'll miss you.
