This quote is still relevant in these times of billionaires and the Epstein class trying to replace workers with AI agents.

Hate this timeline with AI slop in search results. If I wanted AI slop on a topic I'd ask Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

Happy Star Trek Day! 🖖✨💫🌟

Nancy 9/7/26 … Happy Labor Day 🛠️

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

🤔That should be the test for an awful restaurant. If I can kill your restaurant just by parking a taco truck near it? Then your restaurant wasn't going to make it anyway.🤷🏿‍♂️ Restaurants thrive being right next door to other restaurants and bars! This is called an entertainment district. Good actually

MY LATEST @latimes.com ‬⁩ COLUMNA: In Karen Bass’ bad debate night, she even trashed taco trucks. Share, porfas!

Pet peeve: People who block the Metro train door preventing others from exiting and acting surprised people trying to exit don’t just make way for them to get in. Same people who then stand in the isles between seats blocking movement of people trying to sit down.

Things wanted to share after going to South Pas farmers market. 1) sweet corn 🌽 leaves are great to cover up soil in your veggie garden at home, so shuck your own corn! 2) carrot 🥕 greens are edible - cook them! Don’t throw away food! 3) stop being pushy w fresh fruit 🍑samples - I said no thank you!

Lineage Warehouse Rotting food smell returns! Made the mistake of opening a window in the kitchen…and kitchen now smells like rotting food. Stepped outside to confirm. Ewww.

Avoid the Taylor Farms explosive diarrhea lettuce and the Lineage Logistics warehouse rotting food nauseating smell kind of week.

I read Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” which led to the creation of the FDA. Never thought I’d live through a time where food safety agencies were actively weakened. They want to privatize everything including food safety.

I wonder if all the odor smells are also driving the coyotes crazy looking for carcass. It's already been an issue with more coyotes around Alhambra, and earlier today saw an alert (citizen app) about a woman being chased by coyotes not that far away.

Lineage Warehouse Fire is out, but now we all get Lineage Warehouse Rotten Food Odor - smelled it in Alhambra. Eww. 🤢🤮 Wearing my N95 mask 😷 outside helped though.

Still listening and learning. In futbol you cannot score against Argentina, apparently. This is not allowed. *scribbles notes*

From beautiful game to "which colonizer is gonna win this?"

Neither of the teams going to the finals could beat Cape Verde in regulation time. 😄

Honestly, the World Cup vibes were a lot better when Mexico was still hosting games.

World Cup is normalizing AI slop through the use of AI generated memes.

AI-free search is great...now I need my search results to not include AI slop being put up for SEO.

Everybody loves syntactic sugar. At least Swift does and so does Rust!

Being oldest adult child of low income working class immigrant parents is helping them regulate their fears, worry, and anxiety - all for their adult children - that come from raising a family with decades of survivor mode + no safety net in a capitalist society.

In the last year I have successfully replaced heavy slack use (mainly work plus a few others) with heavy discord use (20+ and counting)

Join us for the second atproto.la gathering on Saturday, May 9th where we collectively reimagine what the social web can look like when built on top of open protocols and technologies such as AT Protocol, ActivityPub, etc. ✨

Second day of #DeepDishSwift log: Entering pre-sleep period. Followed by last sleep period before Third and Final Day of DeepDishSwift. 🍕😴

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries currently on the phone to Magyar warning him that his victory is a distraction.

Testing if bridging is working!

So far great talks at @deepdishswift.com and met some amazing devs where we had great convos! #DeepDishSwift

For anyone who wants an #Artemis Orion Spacecraft Lego Set - there's a pitch from a NASA test engineer who worked on the capsule on LEGO ideas you can vote on it! beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Launch in 2020 becomes 2022, then 2024, and finally 2026, and we knew that these devices would be obsolete by the time we flew. But we already had them in hand. They were already tested. Software already developed for that platform. You make the decision that it’s good enough.

The other challenge for modern devices and software is that everything is looking for an internet connection. While the ISS sits in low Earth Orbit and we were able to setup a viable internet connection, Orion will be on the deep space network, which has bandwidth limitations.
