almost certainly an overreaction, but this feels like one of the most important videos of the 21st century, in the sense that it's the actual White House saying the (admittedly barely veiled) subtext of the military-industrial-entertainment complex of the past 60 years out loud

Half the Starfleet Academy curriculum is ethics. The other half is how to steal a shuttle.

Looks like rush-hour. :-) and yes, very much like real life PokΓ©mon. I got a lifer today with the stock dove, which I thought I’d captured before.

I'm reminded of Melanzane sott’olio. Might have to try make some.
Everyone I knew that made it is now gone.

Next year will be the 20th anniversary of the video platform #Seesmic.

I'm still connected to so many of the friends I found there. And I remember fondly those no longer with us.

What a space, what a place.

Possibly the purest form of human first social video before the algorithms took hold.

The Art of Carrying On [564] Greetings from The Borders...

Here is a little dent in your feed.
It starts with a photo of a barrow of wood and outside of the photo of me in the shower is pretty informative... If you like an eclectic mix of tangental thoughts and pondering. open.substack.com/pub/document...

Newsletter is late. Soz (said that like it was the 90's)
I nearly sent it from the hospital but am home now. Stay tuned it's on the way.

I wish I’d recorded that. I told the dog that if she could say the word cheese, I’d give her a piece.
Then right on que, both me and my daughter heard the dog say β€œRoule!”.
We thought that was close enough.

Bird song is my morning alarm.
And yet there’s nothing alarming about it.
Perfect.

Wow! Labour have been getting more and more desperate with every passing day.

But this is off the charts. Inventing a tactical voting website?!

I'm just clearing the growth above my apple trees. A lot of it is blackthorn. Heavy duty stuff but only a barrow load so plenty of battery left :-) I also always have two on standby and I've other tools that take them.

Surprisingly good. Providing I keep the blade sharp, also, I noticed that if I leave the batteries fully charged for a period of time they automatically discharge themselves to 3/4.
