Answering the question: Will skiing, running, and baking solve my general, and at times, very specific anxiety? Because working did not help. Will report back.

We should save these trees

Kasey Gifford@kaseygifford.bsky.social

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

I know this place! My dad operated a salmon cannery for Trident in Naknek. Oh and vote for Mary :)

Spotted between Naknek and King Salmon, on my way out of Bristol Bay today 🐻

Devastated to admit that I just learned that these are two different people.

After a year of feud rumors between the podcasters, Alex Cooper directly addressed Alix Earle, who seems to have "beef" over Cooper's Unwell Network.

Song is good! The punk kids are alright.

Ok here’s the cool little punk band I saw open for Superchunk the other night. TeeVee Repairmann is the name, I may be older than their combined ages. Totally life affirming.

The trusted publication reporting this news just lost its funding but I’m so glad we finally get a ballroom in the people’s house.

NPR@npr.org

After at least 15 years of talking about it, President Trump is building a ballroom at the White House. Work will begin this coming September, with a price tag of $200 million, the White House says.

Maybe lonely boys need to try “opposite George” to get laid. Thinking of buying a cybertruck? Try voting for reproductive rights instead. Want to press play on the latest Rogan? How about asking a cute girl for coffee and speaking to her.

Here’s the issue with the liberal establishment. They only move right. They sell out the left to pick up centrist voters who don’t give a shit about progressive policy. A liberal cohort that actually includes the left would be much stronger than this spineless bullshit.

Hi folks, a friend at NWIRP just sent this to me: there are potential ICE raids (with potential military presence) planned for Washington State, with a focus on Seattle and neighboring cities starting today.

Tough look for Expedia. My guess is this is incompetence and not anti-dei. They prob laid off the person who managed this contract. Either way, not great in your home town. https ://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/which-wa-companies-are-not-returning-as-seattle-pride-parade-sponsors/

I had Covid earlier this month. I got the booster in Nov. I’m healthy, active, etc. This recent infection was far worse than my only other Covid stint in May 2022. I’m just getting my energy back. Get those boosters folks. It still sucks.

This is really interesting research, especially the insights on genres.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
