This isn't supposed to make sense, is it. I should stop trying.

People do not understand how serious this is. Eliminating the people who maintain these gates do more than just give all our art to AI. It also makes it easier to eliminate all books and art that is seen as "radical left" or whatever words the autocrats choose to use.

I don't even think of these as horror films, so maybe I need to rethink my understanding of the genre.

Do we need to skip over Wisconsin and join forces with Illinois?

I rewatched Dr. No last night for the maybe 5th time. Older Bond films don't depend on gadgets--they stick with ol' fashioned racism and colonialism. "Bond wins because he's White and therefore smarter than everyone he meets in Jamaica including the Bad Guy who is Chinese." It's creepy.

The billing agent explained changes to #Medicare always this problem, but I'm not sure I buy it. If the start date clearly states 7/1/2025, and the date of service is 6/15/2025, isn't this a basic If/Then statement in the programming on THEIR side? 2/2

I had to make 4 calls to my health ins. company to discuss Coordination of Care for the month of June. Why? Because I made the mistake of informing them I was moving to #Medicare on July 1st. All June doc and lab visits failed to process. This was a problem with the PRIVATE ins., not Medicare. 1/2

If you have to make 5 selections in a phone tree to get to a human, and the tree is programmed to not let you select zero, your company is seriously customer-hostile. #FormerITSpeak

This morning I dreamed I was traveling and hunting for Ektachrome (slide film). Autocorrect thinks Ektachome is an error. Sad. #photography

My niece is helping me clean out the car. We found Windows XP manuals. They have been recycled.

I mean, YES, let’s celebrate the return of the Israeli hostages, but long-term peace involves different parties coming to the table together.

Listening to #Trump in Israel and wondering just how this can possibly be considered a peace speech. Where is the other party? Where are the Palestinians?

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

When no one was looking Trump set up a deal for the country of Qatar to open a militia base in Idaho. Just in case you were wondering what was quid pro quo for that Qatari plane, now you know.

My strangest dreams always come near morning. This morning I dreamed I was up in a theater’s catwalk looking down at myself playing drums on the stage.

Shorter run today but stopped for many photos, the sky was looking really nice for my entire run. Unsure what the training impact is when stopping every half mile. 😁

Strava removes the stops from my pace so when I want to feel fast I look there instead of Garmin 😎🏃‍♂️‍➡️

#photography #running #sunrise

The sun rises in the bottom left corner over a track/soccer field. Several trees surround the field. The sky is takes up most of the photos and is covered with clouds and jet trails.

Henry Mancini wrote a song called “Baby Elephant Walk.” Sorry, it was the first thing that came to my head.
