And now Codex, a dedicated coding tool, wants access to... my music applications and history? Seriously, what? Fuck. Off.

Day 2 of fasting, for the first time in a while. My liver: hey, where's the sugar, dammit‽

So spotify, a distributed mp3 player, now wants access to... my travel plans? And double pinky promises to never share my info? Fuck off.

The border Aussie dog demanded to go outside at 2am. She happily sprints out to find the imaginary raccoon. So I wait. And wait. Call her. Find my shoes, drag into the yard. She’s sitting on the sand pile, little nubbin of a tail going like mad, happy as can be to have trolled me. #dogs

Archer thinks walks are for hunting. Holly thinks they’re for finding a shady patch, and maybe some sheep will show up. 

"Astrophysics research is in trouble". Yup, we've brought in the big guns to #SaveUKAstronomy, particle and nuclear physics! Thank you @drbecky.bsky.social 🙏 📽️: www.youtube.com/shorts/omICc...

Props to Joe Fassler, @wcraft.bsky.social, and Andrew Witherspoon writing for @theguardian.com in the US on oil well cleanup. www.theguardian.com/environment/.... Really great article.

Archer the border collie mix tried to flush this rabbit out from under the tree. Alas, it’s a rock. One very sore nose.

Tearing apart your house can lead to enlightenment. Like, why is that room always so cold in the winter? #diy

Archer burrows.

Gustav Klimt was 17 years old in 1879 when he drew (with charcoal and black chalk) this portrait of a young girl. His superb technical ability as a draughtsman is evident even as a teenager in the way he uses shadow to create a three-dimensional picture on paper.

Holly is the cuddliest home body.

Holly the border-Aussie wiggle butt.

Not sure the cherries are going to make it this year.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Did the Moab thing. Broken arch front and back, getting hot.

Hard to capture the scope of the cliffs in Moab, but there’s a person in this image. #climbing

I really liked the last chapter of the manga! The anime still has a lot of ground to cover to catch up, but the movie they put out most recently was a great time.

Marketing emails need something stronger than unsubscribe.

Playing around with University of Colorado salary data and Claude. underflow.dev/cu/, project at github.com/underflowdev.... Accuracy not guaranteed, but interesting.

Goodby to the amazing Tacoma pickup that carried me around for 265k miles. I hope @coloradopublic.bsky.social can find you a good home.

Haven’t used terraform for three months. 🤪

Today in DIY: learning that fish tape isn’t.

Hey Goodreads, if you don't pay attention to your unsubscribes, you go in the spam bucket. So, goodbye forever, I guess?

Baking progress.

Future carrot cake.

About to hand my work over to the bread robot.

Time is up for operators of a beloved Grand Junction farm market

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

The move would save the state money in the short term to address Colorado’s budget crisis, but it could cost the pension as much as $180 million in the long run.

Here are Holly and Archer waiting for @mandy-moodles.bsky.social to get off work. Spot the herd dog #dog

Snow in the high country once again. Archer approves. #dog

A robber jay dropped by on today’s hike. #bird
