Got a flyer in my inbox from a major home improvement place. Awful AI (I'm assuming) ad copy, especially a full newsletter emphasizing the FLAWS of various outdoor tools. Gas tools are noisy, but powerful. Electric tools with cords are dangerous if you aren't careful, but lighter. Battery tools are weak and don't last very long. None of this is really untrue, but it's NOT how you write a sales pitch for ANYTHING. Lead with strengths, use flaws to pivot to possible options.

A while back when our little Oregon beach town was in the path of the totality, I watched from my patio with friends. First, we had been expecting mobs, but the media spread such alarmist speculation about crowds and sold out hotels that few tourists actually came. So as the eclipse started, it was quiet, and got quieter. And when the totality occurred, I heard the entire end of our town collectively and literally gasp. Swear I heard gasps from half a mile away or more.

A thing I believe about online communities is when someone writes a big announcement saying they're quitting a site, that says they're *definitely* going to be back, because they're saying they care about the community enough they want it to know where they went and why. The ones you have to worry you've lost are the ones who just sorta quietly disappear one day

A video I helped produce in 2013. Will it ever not be relevant?

The regime is purchasing and converting warehouses to serve as concentration camps for the people ICE and Border Patrol disappear off the street — but local communities are fighting back and winning. We hope you will join us at Detention Watch Network’s national day of action on Saturday: https://www.mobilize.us/disappearedinamerica/?tag_ids=31108

"The owners of the satellite subsequently received a message saying 'Your package has been delivered,' accompanied by a tiny, blurry picture of someone else's front door."

In its third flight, a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket puts satellite payload into wrong orbit

The launching appeared to go off without a hitch, but a problem prevented the rocket's upper stage from putting its payload into the correct orbit.
