REQUEST: The people caretaking the Alex Pretti memorial are looking for archival storage boxes/materials to store the room full of memorial items theyβve preserved.
Does anyone have a lead on where to get some?
A photo of a wooden outdoor poetry display box on a post in a residential neighborhood. The printed paper inside reads "Annual Physical: Your vital signs look pretty good, for your age. Overall health, steady. What you say about your exercise, diet, and sleep, all promising. But I detect from the lab work a toxin I would attribute to your intake of the newsβspecifically, a diet fat with presidential tweets. Just words, I know, but your body is not designed to process the cruel intent. With small doses, you can dilute and express this poison with your urine. But you have absorbed a dangerous amount. So first, I prescribe a total fast in this area. Then I would urge you to substitute wind in the trees, children's laughter, birdsong, evening crickets, and silence." A telephone pole, pale cloudy sky, street, and homes are visible in the blurred background.

Emergency protests against war on Iran in cities across U.S.

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.
As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.
When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
Gawain the green knight opening a letter sealed with wax
Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."
A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."
Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."
Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.
Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X! See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.
Me in my Fortunato costume. I'm carrying a large blue fake brick wall prop over my shoulder and holding a green oversized fake bottle prop in the other hand. I'm wearing a big mask of a green zombie face with one eyeball dangling out of its socket, with a conical jester hat on top. I'm wearing a suit that's half orange and half magenta, with little sparkly sun and moon shapes all over it, and a striped green vest. I've got a large fake chain around my waist. In the background of the pic is a gloomy looking brick wall.
Happy Mardi Gras! Look for Fortunato (zombificato!) out in the French Quarter this morning with @cryptiquekrewe.bsky.social ! Fellow monsters, join us at Esplanade and Burgundy at 9am if you wanna shamble with us! All are welcome!

I might eventually put the summaries in an RSS feed, but I donβt want to have to deal with hosting/domain just yet. In the meantime, Iβm hoping this will cut down on my daily reading time. I also donβt think I have the right mix of sources yet, so Iβll be tweaking that.
But yesterday I had a chance to put together a little toy project using the Claude API - it grabs news items from a handful of sources, summarizes them, then writes the summaries to a dated daily markdown file:

Iβve been shockingly busy since the Vox layoffs a few weeks ago - I got married a few days later, then got back home and had a mountain of paperwork to dig through. Iβm already interviewing (part of me wishes I had slowed down on that).
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β and interactions with them β through the lens of sex

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.
This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10
