The most important thing about me is that in 2015, I gave away almost everything I owned that didn't fit into a Subaru Outback and entered homelessness, as a nomad. Thus my tag, which really started as the name of my blog where I wrote of my travels.

I got really into long distance hiking, too

Anza Borrego Badlands Route (Full Loop)

I woke Thursday morning to temperatures hovering around freezing, cold as hell in Blair Valley. Struggling to gain the motivation to pack up my gear and begin heading out, I delayed as the sun rose…

This woman drove herself paranoid to the point of violence over not liking Black kids playing outside and making up stories around it. I kinda get the whole body cam footage perspective on it and all, but why am I still watching it

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Reporter: "Do you have a nose, sir?"

Mike Johnson: "I don't know. Do you think I can just look down and see my own nose? That's not my lane."

What is the oldest lullaby or nursery rhyme that...

As far as the earliest we know of, it's another Babylonian tablet, about 4000 years old and most often known as Little Baby in the Dark House. We don't have the music for it, but again, the BBC article has a good go at describing some commonalities of the music that tends to accompany lullabies, so that might inspire you.
The rough translation for that Babylonian lullaby, by the way, is:
Little Baby in the dark house
You have seen the sun rise
Why are you crying?
Why are you screaming?
You have disturbed the house god.
'Who has disturbed me?' says the house god.
'It is the baby who has disturbed you!
'Who scared me?' says the house god.
'The baby has disturbed you, the baby has scared you, making noises like a drunkard who cannot sit still on his stool.
He has disturbed your sleep!
'Call the baby now, says the house god.

This is similar to the tech bros who have moved into the healthcare space only to leave with their tails between their legs when they discover that human biology and medicine are complicated and imprecise and electronic health records SUCK as data sources.

A lot of people have tried to come in and be steely-eyed engineers when it comes to drug discovery - y’know, get things acting rationally and on schedule for once.

The track record for that approach has been. . . Unimpressive.

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

White House platforming a guy who films people w/o consent & has 14 felony charges for identity theft (his own unhoused “clients”) and fraud, described as “targeting & victimizing” vulnerable people.

In addition to lying about harm reduction, he pushes the false fentanyl “door knobbing” conspiracy.

Karoline Leavitt:
Highly recommend following independent journalist@kevinvdahlgren, whose reporting on the ground in Portland really showcases the horrors taking place in the city every day. Portland clearly needs help.
It's a shame their Democrat elected officials are resisting it, simply because it's being offered by President Trump.

Quote tweet of Kevin Dahlgren:
This is right out of a twilight zone episode. Three people completely motionless, and one of them is standing. All three are nodded out on fentanyl. This was filmed in Delta Park Portland.

user. Other severe addicts are aware of this and has seen them starting to lick the doorknobs of grocery stores in hopes of consuming the powder.
I don't know how widespread this is but I think door handles should be cleaned regularly in concentrated areas of drug activity.
