Honestly, the guys is a total badass and I am humbled by remote contact with him. For some reason I don’t want to dox him although he is already a public figure.
Well, sorry for your loss. 💔 Lost my parents in the last few years too.
By we I mean me and my fellow US citizens. You should just block US news from your feed and enjoy life.
How do we have any tourism at all anymore?
It’s a weird thing when you google the stranger that sold you an old fountain pen on eBay and discover they are a journalist who is a political dissident in their Turkish homeland. Welp, I guess I’m gonna buy another pen from them.
Just had my brother look for proof of my G-ma’s dual citizenship. Nice that they recorded her complexion on her certificate of citizenship. 🤮

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
Look up Jim Snell. I think he belongs to a society in Seattle for whatever those are. Strangely enough Haller Lake Community Center had one in the previous decade, maybe still does. Awesome to see in person.
I knew something big came down during the night. Turns out a 50(?) year-old big leaf maple broke in half. Didn’t fall on anything so all is good!
Rainy windstorm. Sleeping is going to be a challenge tonight. I’m not used to the sounds and realities of wind interacting with an evergreen forest. Could a falling tree reach me and my Airstream? Or the new shelter I built to park it under? Sounds like the wind wants to pull the aluminum roof off.
That’s beautiful! I’m sure she’ll love it!
Yay! It’s rough skinned newt season! I will continue my pledge to not consume them lest I die from the most toxic animal in North America.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“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.

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.
He is the very essence of the humble brag. I just watched one for the first time. It was quite watchable.
Only my brother would have a Pope-ener

Someone at work left some of those little red wax-wrapped cheeses in the fridge, so I fashioned some of the wax into a crude miniature Captain Marvel (a Little Red Cheese).

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

“No Kings Day”

😃Friends, thank you for making it Peaceful, Powerful, and Fun. You’re beating the regime’s effort to frame it as hateful and violent.

🙏Stay Safe
I dug your anti-science take on the Bigfoot. Probably an overlooked component in his meaning for folks.
