Just a few seconds of something I am overjoyed to be working on...

I’m thinking a lot about what small actions for good actually do. It probably matters more that you talk about why and not if the thing you do actually has a large impact. Also they should make you happy.

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social Can you go undercover? Maybe as the Antichrist? www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social Someone probably found it already but I also found it for you

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social It really happens sometimes! whatsthejam.com/pets-and-ani...

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social can you recommend a poetry newbie some poetry books or any other poetry resources (other than your poetry window).

I just got a podcast ad that described a TV ad and then told me to go online and watch the ad. I wonder how many people actually go watch after that. #ads #latestagecapitalism

Any one have any advice for starting a blog with limited time if I want to write about stuff I would also have to deep dive on to some extent? #science #blog #research

@milesofgray.bsky.social if you’re going to an errand space museum just to see planes and stuff. Make sure you go to the Chantilly museum and not the DC one. airandspace.si.edu/visit/udvar-...

#Unions thats all

If you haven’t done it in a while it’s probably a good idea to restart your phone. #privacy #security

@ublockorigin@lemmy.ml being available on IPhone is great. Everyone should have ad blockers and try to protect what little #privacy

Moving somewhere new. What are the best little things to do to make things a little better right away for everyone. I know meet neighbors. Any other simple things?

The construction next to the funeral home I drive by next day has turned out to be an assisted living facility. I wonder if your a discount on transportation if you just need to be moved next door. #frugal ☠️☠️☠️

I know personally doing things for the environment doesn’t make a true impact. It’s still nice in the hyper local sense and I also hope giving and example and talking to others creates some 2nd or 3rd order effects that actually matter. I guess it might be like 5th or 6th order effects.

The two extreme view points about AI that I get regualrly are from @theskepticsguide.bsky.social and @edzitron.com. I think it would be interesting for them to talk to each other. Especially since they probably agree on a it of other things.

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social I forgot about the song Beeswing thanks for reminding me of it on Cold Brew Got Me Like. Gonna go listen to more Richard Thompson

What’s the way you listen to music? Albums, playlists, or individual songs? #music

Can single works make big impacts any more in the current fractured culture? Like The Jungle on meat packing or Silent Spring on chemical pesticides? #environment #climate #books

Is there any point in looking for a climate job in the US in the next 4 years? Asking for a ummm…friend. #climate #greensky #energy

I still go on things like Reddit too much and it’s stressful even my curated feed. Bluesky is a bit too. Mastodon and Pixelfed though are generally more calming. I think just too many voices make things stressful. #fediverse #pixelfed #mastodon #calmer

If anyone has knowledge about how much picking up litter improve things let me know. Like all things not just trash/plastic out of the ecosystem, but also mood, chance of more litter being dropped, wildlife health? I know there are probably some studies on it. I’ll try to find some of it. #cleanup

First time seeing something like this in the wild. For now banana seemed about the same price. #bananas #inflation #taxes

Saw someone cleaned up trash that was all over a small overpass. After my run I felt the need to clean some more litter. I only got 2 shopping bag fulls but it felt like a lot.

Garden sprouts are going well a few more weeks until I plant them.

!! CALL TO ACTION !! #Booksky please join me in the fight to save our libraries. EveryLibrary is working hard to save the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the federal agency charged with distributing Congressionally approved funds to state libraries and grant recipients.

These Amazon ads on podcasts about “Amazon enabling and supporting” small businesses are interesting. Like I’m sure they probably do make logistics easier in some ways but like I also bet anything that gets big enough odds going to end up “Amazon basiced” #ads #eee #workingclass

@booker.senate.gov congratulations on breaking Thurman’s speech record. I hope you and your colleagues can leverage the attention. Keep inspiring people. You spoke a lot for things. We need more messaging for things. Being against this administration is easy but give people something to fight for.

No longer in NJ and not always a Booker fan but anyone in power who does something I’ll support.

Link to Bookers stream. Boosting it in the algorithms helps show support. m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ut...

I think I’ll start sharing music occasionally. Not my top @joshritter@twtr.plus Josh Ritter song but I’ve been listening to it. https://youtu.be/XSdU_ZDF9Ok?si=ltjA5gaWybJ_JKW5

Felt very bleh on my run. Lunges 2 days ago still killing my legs. I guess I need to do lunges more often. #workout #running

I have things pretty good and I feel like 90% of days are just sleep cook eat work cook eat sleep. How do people who work even more manage everything. I know there are some people who fake working more but I mean the people who work more and just barely survive. #capitalism

This is one of the most “not” @theonion.com head lines I’ve seen. AI is going to exploit everything isn’t it.

So who else adds 15 to 30 minutes to everything you do because you forget 10 small things that take longer on their own than they should if you did them at the right time? #adhd

Actually correction. Bright spot today is I made double chocolate muffins. They’re from a box but still they’re tasty. #brightspot #baking

Bright spot today work didn’t drag. Simple easy bright spot. #brightspot

Bright spot today was it felt like spring. Less bright because it maybe shouldn’t be this spring light this early but for a one off I’ll take it. #brightspot

Bright spot today is day light savings. Let’s keep it all year. #brightspot

Bright spot today is going for a run even though I felt pretty bad and then picked up a shopping bag worth of litter. Still more to do litter wise. Trying to do a little at a time. #brightspot #litter

Bright spot today. Had a good run in the wind. #brightspot

Bright spot today I had some time to play guitar so I didn’t spend the whole evening pointlessly struggling to start anything. I only did that for most of it instead of all of it. #brightspot
