@bryanhansel Thanks for writing about this. The wording makes it sound like you wouldn’t even be able to take pictures hiking through USFS Wilderness. Which doesn’t make sense.

@jds Great time of year to dig. The soil is so nice to work with when it had some moisture in it.

All these breathless articles about people forming weird relationships with LLMs, ruining marriages or going down psychological rabbit holes because of the emotionally compulsion-forming quality of having something that always says yes to you?

I think that’s happening to people in management, too, in their professional lives — and they’re making purchase decisions around it.

👴🏻ICE is out of control! Immunity from prosecution is out of the question for an organization that brutalizes protesters and kills citizens in the street!

👩🏿Thank you! And cops that brutalize and kill Black folk should not have immunity from prosecution either! End it!

👴🏻No wait that one's different🤡

In both personnel and institutionalized culture, ICE is a stronghold of violent authoritarianism, its existence is simply incompatible with the fundamental values of a democratic society. There is no technical or administrative fix for this. As a matter of democratic self-defense, ICE must not be tolerated.

@hollie Often with old typewriters the segment is dirty and needs to be cleaned so the type bars will return without sticking. The segment is the metal block with slots that the letter bonkers fan out from. You can blow it out and then use naptha or mineral spirits and work the bonker in and out of the slot to get it moving. No lubricant is needed. Here’s a good post I found:

Back when they invented the DHS after 9/11, many of us in the US said "Dept of Homeland Security? That sounds like some dystopian Nazi-ass shit"

And all the Voices of Reason were like "stop catastrophizing, we need to come together in these trying times"

@jds Thanks! I ended up getting a Coros Dura to replace my failing bike GPS. Seems like maybe they just took a watch and put in a case with a larger battery and screen -- it's supposed to get 70-120 hours of battery life, and it has a crown/dial type interface. Anyway, I bike more than hike so this should do.
