followers i haven't followed back yet, there are more of you than i'm used to and i'm a bit overwhelmed (i'm easily overwhelmed). it's not personal and i generally do follow back if we interact, but if i don't do it right away, i tend to forget. i appreciate you all (except the musk impersonators).

that's often too risky, sometimes the tag seam is a load-bearing seam and then you've got a hole in your garment.

You ever think to yourself “but I am just one person, what can I do to make a difference?”

It turns out that “wear an inflatable frog costume and go downtown” is actually a really reasonable answer.

exponential multi-site frog growth! we've already witnessed a triple frog event, according to my calculations by this time next week every person in north america will have turned into an inflatable frog.

for a moment i thought maybe if that is what it'll take to destroy the market for chatbot-generated text i might be willing to consider it. but then i realized it'll all be ai videos instead and i really don't think i could handle that.

ok so it looks like i'm not moving to the mariana trench, reckon i'll go for the tonga trench instead.

the sky a few minutes ago

sunset clouds in bright shades of yellow/orange/apricot/pink with bits of blue sky between, framed by dark silhouetted foliage on the right and bottom of the picture and crossed diagonally by power lines.

the parts north of the arctic circle get all the interesting sky stuff: midnight sun in summer, periods of no daylight in winter, and lots of auroras in the dark part of the year.

29 år og det er ikke ofte jeg har hørt den sangen i det siste, men det viser seg at jeg fortsatt husker hvert eneste ord av teksten.

Have you ever seen Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan sitting under a bush eating cake with their bare hands? No you fucking haven't.

Johnny Cash sitting cross-legged under a bush with a whole cake in one hand, a fistful of cake in the other hand, icing smeared across his face, and a pleased expression.

so here's the thing, you don't have to have demonstrated the best judgment to be on that committee. some of the current members are actually major aholes, and at least one of them is likely pro trump.

they do up north, but in my part of the country, the last (and only) time i saw any amazing aurora was in 2005.

they do get into our waters sometimes, but that's only because we have some islands way up in the arctic.
