One of the inhabited caves on Titan is known as the Gardens. An unsurprisingly lush place where individuals and groups make settlements free of central planning.

Kansas. Standing by the old quarry. Heard owl hoots. The occasional coyote yip. Fortunately, did not hear any footsteps. That's the sort of place where Hitchhiker would show up. Ask you for a light. And then no one would ever see you again.

I love conveyor belt games. But they always give me a headache after a while.

Thinking being a ghost isn't so bad. Would go over to the in-laws house and try to trigger their motion detection lights in a morse code pattern. Encoding something creepy like "I'm alf and i'm here to eat your cats!!"
But probably wouldn't work. Mainly because I don't know morse. They don't either

The simplest fix? Work the refs. Try to control the narrative. Don’t subject yourself to questions that would force you to take an unpopular stand. Don’t acknowledge the real trade-off behind the reconciliation bill and the grievous harms it will inflict on Kansans. #ksleg

Kansas lawmakers in D.C. would rather work the refs than answer tough questions back home • Kansas Reflector
Republicans across the country want to persuade voters that they have delivered. Unfortunately for them, the bill polls terribly.

Dreamed the ghost of David Lynch came to visit. Told me he's partnering with Mark Frost again. This time, they're going to remake Quincy ME. "I think newer generations need a medical examiner," he said in a ghost whisper.

Mega Mecha Bear. The final boss of Medieval Dynasty. Surrounded by a thousand bandits who worship her daily. Guarded by five hundred rabid wisents. Led by a little girl priestess who cries out: "blood for the bear god! honey tarts for me!"

Taking the trash out. Neighbor is quietly yelling at his cat to come in. "Bubba! Bubba! Bubba! I know you can hear me! Bubbbbaaaa!"
Bubba is a handsome orange gentleman. Just gleefully rolling around on the sidewalk and ignoring all mentions of his name.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

My mother died when I was 2. Had a dream last night that she was still alive. Hidden away with Scientology's Sea Org all these years & decades.
She said she was sorry she missed out on everything with me. But she was "Clear" and that made it all worth it.

Every day, I tell my cat: "be a good boy." Then immediately follow with some advice: "don't ever play with guns."

Every night when I see the water heater is still running, I give it a little bow and say "thank you". This appeases the vengeful machine spirit. And I can possibly go another day without having to re-light the pilot.

Elon Musk claims it’s a crime to publish the names of the engineers who work for him who have access to systems they shouldn’t. Here they are: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Come and arrest me.

Modern supply chains don't look like trade theory 101!
They involve constant border crossings, each now hit by tariffs.
Tariffs raise prices, but the more important thing they do is disrupt supply relationships.

Lately, I've been writing a little political science fiction as a sleepy time ritual. Namely: the minutes of the latest Water Reclamation Board meeting in the Titan Republic. Detailing the petty arguments this month. And then imagining their rides home on a train dashing through the methane rain.

A skeet sized Christmas ghost story. Published in 1914 in El Paso Herald's "Daily Novelette" column. I found it in Valencourt's Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories, Volume 4.

Overslept this morning. Every time I tried to wake up, the giant would emerge from the forest and tell me: "you can't. Nothing is realized yet." Took him at his word. Until noon, when I discovered he was lying.

Installed Windows on a new laptop. Windows gave me the option of talking with ai while the install was going. I told ai this install was taking too long. ai told me to put the laptop down and go clean something.
Nice to know my new laptop is haunted by my old boss from the pizza place.
