my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

Increasingly thinking that the Turing test says less about how clever a machine is, and more about how gullible a human being can be.

a photo of an apple IIc, surrounded by other keyboards, a guitar, a trumpet, head phones & walkman, drums, a musical keyboard, etc. text: if you own an apple IIc, you'd have to add all this a photo of a commodore 128, screen and disk drive. text: to match the versitility, expandability and higher intelligence of the new commodore 128 (and it costs less too).

What’s a stat that sounds fake but is 100% true? I’ll start:

Ichiro Suzuki’s 9th major league at bat was the last time his career batting average was below .300

Did you hear that K-Pod was seen in Monterey, California earlier this month? Well, they booked it back north, because this morning they were seen going north through Active Pass! 🤯

Ks averaged about 90 miles a day to make it from California back to the Salish Sea in just 11 days.

There’s a little Thursday morning whale mystery in Puget Sound!

A group of 7+ orcas charged north in Saratoga Passage this morning and then disappeared between Penn Cove and Skagit Bay.

Are they going to Deception Pass? Did they flip south back down Saratoga?

Let us know if you see them!

The internet was a mistake.

Computers were a mistake.
