It is still #WeekWithoutDriving and here is what that could be like for you. Watching the sunrise and taking in the gorgeous scenery from a boat. 100% better than sitting in traffic.

My anti-research assistant, Dr Boris B. Bayes, PhD. His research interests include
(1) Optimal methods for screaming louder than 120dB,
(2) Finding excuses to bite, and
(3) Figuring out where fruit and almonds come from and how to make them appear on command.

To be fair, I think he is genuinely thoughtful person who just wants to be a good community member rather than putting on a mask to hit on folks. It is refreshing to be around people like that.

At any moment a very handsome gentleman has been showing up at my door rescuing my mail, borrowing items and going out of his way to make us laugh so now I have to wear a bra at home at all times and get my place in order. 😆 Please clap as I resisted the urge to run away.

Exactly this. I think we need to do a better job of communicating that at all education levels. Heck, I'd love to see that conversation being had in popular culture as well.

I think that is a good thing.

The guy complaining about how he needs to get laid does not seem to be.

It will depend on the type of beer out here. Microbrews look to be around just under 6€, but lower quality beer will be less.

Less than Norway. :)

Some of us do. Salmon, Dungeness crab, halibut, mussels, oysters, seaweeds. Lots of berries and mushrooms. Deer, and Elk, etc. A little too far south for Caribou and cloudberries unfortunately. Lots of locally grown food too.

I agree. :)

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Still nothing. After what happened I feel like it is reasonable for the new leadership team to make some kind of announcement and safely reminder.

This reminds me of the folks that ask why artists make art.

This is very much a Portland activity.

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

They make notebooks that won't melt in a bog, just in case you find yourself around one again.

Still nothing, but we'll see over the next few weeks.

Bogs are rad.

Aarne Granlund @aarnegranlund.bsky.social · 6d

"Now not only scientists, but also politicians, are beginning to see the possibility of dual use of bogs to achieve two goals of the European Union – improving resilience and slowing climate change."

We have an unlimited potential for bog restoration on the Eastern Flank.
