Come on Rohan! Let's show Mordor who the true lords of the Riddermark are!

🗡️ the black-armored ranks of Mordor have issued a challenge to ⚔️ the horse-lords of the Riddermark at a forgotten crossroads. This skirmish will resolve in ~11h (10:30am UTC).

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

Six local organizations serving our unsheltered neighbors have asked for 165 microwaveable bed warmers this season—over 100 more than last year! It's all hands on deck for Liveable Kirkland's work party on Mon, Sept 21 (6-8pm) at Chainline at Kirkland Urban to help assemble them. #Kirkland

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

I know this sentiment has been echoed by many others already, but I just wanted to also share my disdain for the fact that AI has taken away my ability to use em dashes for fear of people thinking I used AI to write something. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)

No phone for a day and a half now - don't really miss it, but it's also become very evident to me that phones as MFA is awful. Businesses, do better! Offer more MFA options!

AI agent suggested I fix a typo in something I wrote yesterday - I opted to keep it since it proves it was human-written. What's this world we're living in now where I have to prove my humanity??

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

The nascent HTML-in-Canvas API is exciting to me not because of flashy effects, but because it extends the semantics that the DOM can (tractably) represent — as a tiny example, it's possible to show an element in multiple places, cheaply, under arbitrary transforms. folkjs.org/demos/html-i...

Are there any blogs people still like? Not social media profiles that are fishing for likes and engagement - just blogs of people writing intently about stuff they care about

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting. More accurate terms: - observers - witnesses - volunteers - neighbors - residents - people

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

This is the Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris), and it's just straight up a dinosaur. Like, I know *all* birds are technically avian dinosaurs, but my first thought looking at this guy is: dinosaur. (📷: Suzie McCann, eBird)

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/
