Childless. Catless. Dogless. And climate change messed up my one hobby.

I don't really know the vibe of Detroit these days. But in the day, I was hearing about Burning Man sculpture artists moving there from Oakland because amazing industrial spaces with hoists were available cheap.

there is no other current or former politician in the US who gets this sort of response

Sidenote... I had to pick up a cheap phone when I was in the US months back because 4G service is languishing where I was, so I needed 5G. A cheap Samsung had the features I wanted, but yesterday I was still wrangling with disabling Samsung apps on it. I've been tempted to go iPhone.

Now that Elon shit on Tesla and Starlink (DOGE & Ukraine) he wants to merge Tesla & SpaceX to save Tesla? ... when good engineers go off the rails...

"Did Canada see the demo of my flying car?" --- Elon Musk, some people say

Immigrants are being used globally as pawns and tools for political disruption.

ugh. Buried in the settings, even though I wasn't using Samsung keyboard, they kept spellcheck set to Samsung, thus keylogging. There must be a zillion companies who want every thought of ours - hence DATA CENTERS. Not that they can even keep track of data you WANT to retrieve or even their own.

More assholery... Sony ditched Imaging Edge for new Creative Cloud, and to register your camera you have to load the app on your phone?!

The US has gone from destroying USAID stockpiles to ignoring a new global threat. As if Trump has no historical memory with viruses.

v underdiscussed.. congo ebola outbreak mortality rate at 48.3% 9.1k cases, 4.4k deaths since may (already second worst outbreak ever recorded)

Kimberly Guilfoyle... I didn't follow the gossip to know how the relationship with Gavin ended, but he must be counting his blessings on that one.

There's been only one time in my life when Google maps took us on a road that became increasingly un-roadlike. There have been numerous times when Google maps lost signal and kept routing me in unproductive circles. But I realized the problem after a loop. share.google/PR69FvTGvnZG...

I rarely post on TikTok; deleted nearly all of the old posts, but have 72 followers. I would say maybe 95% have provocative women's photos. Whether they're sex workers or scammers with fake photos (or both) I have no idea.

NYT article: In a social media post last month, Mr. Wang declared, “You can’t stop the Muse.” # hmmm... No you can't - Muse will change your passwords and tell all your friends what kind of porn you like!

Shower together? Negligible Energy: Viewing or opening a shared link consumes a tiny fraction of the electricity required to run the original generative AI inference query (~0.24 watt-hours). #AI #supermoron

Dear Tennessee Dept of Corrections: the God you purport to believe in is trying to tell you something. The God you actually believe in, DJT, is telling you the firing squad is the way to go. Welcome to hell.

Focus people. Stop wagging your fingers at strangers when you have names and addresses of people who are more directly responsible than any random stranger you feel like yelling at. Geez.

Super Intelligence has a garbage in garage out problem. The White House has a serious malware problem. We need a fresh install of a clean operating system. Preferably not bloatware.

Ok, sure, I liked Star Wars, but I thought this said John Waters, and my mind drifted into hilarity.

Cosmic Marvel@dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social

Jon Watts will officially direct the next ‘STAR WARS’ film. • Written by Simon Kinberg and is intended to be the beginning of a new trilogy in the Skywalker Saga. • Daisy Ridley’s Rey will appear in some capacity. (via www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...)

Astronnequin? Do not deny the accomplishments of Phineas Taylor Barnum, Elon Musk, or the cheering crowd eager for spectacle. Musk may not have built the first electric Mars rover, but he did launch the first Tesla being driven by an astronaut mannequin. And the investors swooned to the trillion$.

Long weekend in Forster? There seems to be a conundrum between driving the Swasticar or pretending MG is still a proud British icon and everything is just fine in Hong Kong. #Australia #ElonMusk #HongKong #PacificRim

To explain, an England-born person insists on calling our Tesla a Swasticar. While at the same time lamenting the fate of MG yet still buying one. And I would posit that as MG went; as Hong Kong went; is Elon any worse than what MG now represents? Both represent power gone amuck.

Repost repost repost... I tend to not follow those whose feeds are mostly reposts. I just unfollowed someone whose reposts started dominating my feed. They occasionally have a decent thought, but signal to noise ratio is important.

Advertiser masquerading as an environmental article. The client seems to be someone with enough money to hire an ad agency, but it's an ad agency with few clients. Well meaning trust fund kids?

I don't believe in free childcare. I believe Universal Basic Income for children would cover all necessary expenses. Details on amount should take a cue from child support demands on unemployed fathers.

Friend had hysterectomy. Realized I never really thought about how much space a uterus takes, and how much musculature must be attached in order to potentially keep a child in place. The photos you see most often emphasize the child or fallopian apparatus; not the supporting musculature.

How many Gbord suggested words do I have to delete before they will suggest the word that I typed correctly? Is it learning that the word I typed is the word I want, or is it just fucking with me ?

Some people are not creative enough to imagine they would ever be on the wrong side of the thought police. Conformity and social harmony...
