Boat tram better be out all week for this heat wave!!! Last time I saw it out and just hopped on for the ride. Got a milkshake at In n Out at the terminus and got one for the operator and rode it back home. Bonus : @that_mc was on it too announcing some of the stops!

Deadlines for comments on a million SpaceX "AI data centers" and a company that wants to deliver "sunlight as a service" are coming up soon. If you have time and energy, please write a comment! Instructions below.

(I heard a rumour that Reflect Orbital is on-track to have the most comments on an FCC filing ever. Seems like a good goal to beat the record writing responses to this incredibly fucking stupid idea)

Also instructions here: https://darksky.org/news/two-satellite-proposals-threaten-the-night-sky-the-window-to-act-is-now/

Arino Borevich has an ambitious dream to sculpt every one of the thousands of known nudibranchs in colorful felted wool.

these days radio artists & writers from the Black radical tradition are the ones giving me joy, inspiration. at a workshop last night by Chilean radio artist Rodrigo Ríos Zunino: "when you listen to community radio you are listening to the sound of community itself" #radioisthefuture #othernetworks

People of mastodon!

Super weird question, but ...

... is anyone out there conversant in Assembly for a 1960s-era IBM 7090, or machines of that lineage?

I'm working on an article that includes some Assembly of that vintage ...

... and want to make sure I'm describing what it does correctly

if this describes you or someone you know ...

... hit me up, I'd love to tap your expertise!
