These 2 wood storks were cold (~60 degrees) & hunched up. The bill on the back one looks unreal! #birds

Great egret in spikerushes. I think his mouth got stuck open because he had something stuck in his throat. #birds

Amnesty International’s new report on Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” says migrants are being punished with a tiny 2-by-2-foot “box,” echoing CIA black-site torture: shackled, unable to move, left in heat and insects. Amnesty calls it cruel, inhuman, and degrading.

For US readers, I think both Service Model and Doors of Eden are Amazon monthly deals at $2.99 for December.

Man, this dude is the ICE-wipe of ICE-holes.
He'll say anything if he thinks it will make his billionaire masters happy, & make him some more $$$.
Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

Does anyone know why they are now making you state your name when they scan your boarding pass to get on a plane?

Crap. We are indeed living in a griftocracy. Most of the vendors (air conditioning, plumbing, etc) are now trying to grift you into subscription plans that you don't need. Any time I try to establish a business relationship, I assume they are going to try to grift me. Thanks VC & PE $$$. Assholes.
This is why I work with a speaker's bureau and have a publicist. The spammers are not going to bother to go through these channels, but legit folks (book festivals, libraries, etc) will. I realize this is a privilege not every author has, nevertheless I am glad to have them vet for me.
As a librarian, this makes me very sad. We love inviting authors to our annual community read, but it's become impossible to get in touch with authors thanks to all the spam/scams out there.

Seriously. The 2 compute & energy intensive grifts: crypto & “AI”.
All LLM use should be licensed. It is powerful & dangerous tech.
AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water.

AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects.

So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends.

Priorities.

We seem to have a pair of cardinals nesting in a spruce next to our garage door.
Yesterday the garage door was up & the door to the kitchen was open (bringing in groceries), the female decided to explore.
It took us a few minutes to herd her back outside.
She looked much bigger inside than out???

Great news! Congratulations, Scott! UBI FTW!
New article from me about the Marshall Islands becoming the first country with a Universal Basic Income, what the details are, how it came to be, and what may come next.

Side note: It's hard to express how big a deal this is, especially for me personally. I hope this is the first of many dominoes.
The Marshall Islands Just Quietly Implemented the First National Universal Basic Income (UBI)
How the Marshall Islands built the first nationwide universal basic income, funded by a US-capitalized Compact Trust Fund, and what it means for UBI everywhere.

Turned my 8’ x 16’ veggie garden over w a shovel & covered w 4 bags of cow manure compost. It will rake out with a heavy rake in March ready to plant.
We had some kale still producing, my wife transplanted some to a couple big pots. Curious how long it will keep producing. It likes cold!

But it's so much more fun & full of swagger to just blow them the fuck up! Bullies gonna bully!
Last week, the US military missed an actual drug boat in the Pacific carrying 13.2 tons of narcotics, which Panama seized—one of the largest hauls to date. Instead of blowing it out of the water, 10 suspects were arrested, and valuable intelligence was gathered. What a concept.
