I have no idea where this came from, but

Anyone who doesn’t see how very satisfied I’ve been throughout production doesn’t get what I most want out of an adaptatation. Mind you, that does tend to happen.

Imagine having been in there for 9-11

In 60 days or so, we’ll face an election we can’t successfully win without a landslide. Any low-percentage win and they’ll do what we know they already know exactly how to do, and more. We’ve all seen it happen. So we need that landslide victory. We all must vote.

The security cam makes, imo.

Saw something driving Elissa to work this morning. Had to stop and take a picture.

I recently bought a green t-shirt of the title graphic. Not my style ordinarily but it’s so difficult to read!

I'm very embarrassed to admit that I have never read this but it's time to read Neuromancer

Just advised a friend, off to vacation for a second time in Mexico City, to keep an eye out for street dogs, conditions having been so tough there that survivors are easily smarter than 35% of Americans voting in presidential elections.

Postprandial lap-top purring session, with eye-contact

Wheezy observing birds in the gloaming

An anarkitty projecting saintly innocence while working himself up for utterly random rampage

Happy 80th birthday to the Vespa, whose name, I only learned today, means wasp, whereas I’d always assumed it meant spicey.

Haven’t had a suit properly made since I was 15. If I ever do again (a senior thing) it’ll be with everything @dieworkwear.bsky.social has taught me about a dude’s duds.

Bluesky told me I’d deleted that utterly obviously fake Hegseth yearbook post, but I can still see it and when I go to the three dots, it no longer offers me the option. Sorry for reposting it in the first place. It was either the result of posting when almost asleep or posting when almost 80.

Son Graeme captures Wheezy demolishing a length of rope

My annual shot of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. Probably my last, as absence of world music now leaves nothing for Graeme’s obsessive ear. Beautiful evening!

If you’re a Democrat and plan to vote this fall, please acquaint yourself now with what looks to me to be a highly skilled extrapolation of where that’s headed. Which is by definition not merely a best guess.

Democrats have about ninety days to fight back.

Inner main belt asteroid looks like chihuahua poop

Science Magazine @science.org

A spacecraft flyby of the inner main belt asteroid Donaldjohanson captured details about the small asteroid’s surface features and motion that clarify its origin and evolution, researchers report in Science. https://scim.ag/4gAcagQ

Would anyone have the footage from Season 5, Episode 10 of The Sopranos in which Johnny Mnemonic is mentioned? I’ve only just now learn of it, and am of course wildly curious.

I just like the idea of spray-painting satellites ultra-black, kinda Space Goth thang!

Optics & Photonics News @optica-opn.org

A new ultra-black spray paint could reduce the light pollution caused by satellites traveling in low-Earth orbit. The researchers from the University of Surrey hope this will mitigate the impact of future satellites on ground-based astronomical observations. https://bit.ly/4ydHSXG 💡 ⚛️ 🧪

I like to say that I’m congenitally innumerate, but in any case I’m referring to the Nov 3 midterms in the previous post. 60 days, though, should see us well into the AI and mass media mindfucking we should all be bracing ourselves for.

Worried about how this new Islamic Republic of Japan will affect my publisher there.

Or the claw of Godzilla, by order of the Islamic Republic of Japan!

A majorly sci-fi moment, not to mention a first in human history!
