Big Scotts's Tots energy

Growing up, my family ran a train and riverboat tour in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I spent my summers growing up on and around this 200 capacity vessel. I've had to scrape and paint this thing a ridiculous amount of times.

treelaw perverts on reddit must be beside themselves with this East Potomac golf course tree removal case

After lunch with a friend, I visited a nearby bookshop on a whim looking for an Emily Wilson translation of the Odyssey. An employee found it in the Classics section and she commented that someone else had recently asked for the same translation. Inspired to read by a podcast series about it

Kids made me take this picture coming out of a roller rink last night. Now I'm making you look at it.

Do you save the crusts of your pizza for last or do you eat the crust before proceeding onto the next slice?

These promos for National Treasure 3 are getting out of hand

At a board game con today, and absolutely love this Crokinole board. Crokinole is a fantastic disc flicking bar game and this board was made by BrownCastle Games.

Vacation pic of Arch Rock on Mackinac Island, MI. I love how the arch covers the horizon and makes it hard to tell where Lake ends and sky begins

With Lake Ontario changed to Lake America, the common mnemonic for remembering the great lakes (HOMES) doesn't work anymore. With the swapping of O for A, I propose a new mnemonic: SHAME

“There are so many incredible things you can put your money toward that are more worthwhile than the Democratic National Committee,” read the email attributed to DNC chair Ken Martin

obviously i think AI is an abomination. i have talked about this for a long time and will continue to do so, but today i was struck with something REALLY COOL that i do not think is discussed enough on the opposite end: the JOY and FULFILLMENT of being able to hire and work with human artists.

I hate stories like this and many reactions to it. The researchers had a model basically brute force 700k configs of a virus, of which they hand selected several hundred to be manufactured in a lab. It's not like they prompted "make me a virus." It's not nothing but the headline framing is overblown

A message for the class of 2026: We need more friction!

RE: AI Hype In our time people who have no connection with science expect it to produce miracles and nothing but miracles, but they're practically incapable of distinguishing a genuine scientific miracle from a conjuring trick or intellectual acrobatics Monday Starts on Saturday - Strugatsky Bros

I lit up like it was fucking Christmas when I saw @edzitron.com was the guest on Nik Suresh's latest podcast episode. I followed Nik's breakout AI article to his appearance on your pod, which I've found to be very grounding as I work in a tech industry gone mad.

Someone has lost their damn mind and it's not me. In order to pay my son's doctor bill, I have to sign ME up for a MyChart account. Sign up involves Experian asking Q's to verify my identity, which was fine up until this one. What the actual fuck? I have to Google astrology shit to pay a bill?

For any of you in Florida, the nephew of a friend had gone missing. He has schizophrenia and went missing on 5/25. Police found his car abandoned on the road with keys, wallet (with ID), phone, and laptop inside in a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, FL. Would appreciate a repost for visibility

Fuck this CEO for throwing his team repeatedly under the bus without taking any responsibility for the project trying to achieve goals he set as a leader. Amazing interview, though.

I saw some furry droppings on a hiking trail and did a search for "fox scat." DO NOT search for fox scat with safe search off if you are trying to identify animal poop. Been a while since the internet caught me that off guard

Having destroyed the Persian navy, I would station 1 Galley in the straight to block the strait and blockade the province

Several years ago, I worked my first food pantry in the parking lot of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. The volunteers were kind and motivated, and the clients were diverse with a large contingent of Ukranians. Horrified by the attack on their congregation but relieved that it was stopped quickly

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Grave of the Fireflies. Saw it when I was 18, sobbed at a film for the first time. Now that I have kids, I'm sure it would be even harder to watch. m.imdb.com/title/tt0095...

Just finished the Cohen Brothers Barton Fink. What a rollercoaster of a film. John Turturro's Fink was astonishingly hapless and John Goodman brought his usual energy to both faces of his role. Def worth a watch m.imdb.com/title/tt0101...
