Everyone always loves ET Batman and it’s their anniversary so in a rare decision I’m sharing something from Facebook www.facebook.com/share/r/1HF9...

In about 5 minutes a lunar eclipse is supposed to be starting and I have pulled up a chair on my terrace to watch even though the winter cold is setting in for the night.

The footage out of Nepal is beyond apocalyptic, and all of us who live in mountainous regions with glaciers could see it happen. Here in the cusco area we’ve already seen glacier chunk floods in the past few decades, and… (more)

I usually play tennis at 6:30am but today the court wasn’t available and I have a match at 8 So I slept in a bit and getting my ass here was incredibly harder than when I get up at 5:30 Anyway wish me luck

For those who wondered where the scrapped Caltrain cars are, they’re in Lima at the center of a controversy involving the mayor of Lima who’s a cartoon villain made flesh

Also Google Maps, fuck you for this bullshit where you always want me to be going to hotels for no reason, like you have my home address and I am AT HOME but you keep suggesting I go to the hotel down the block, like alerts at random to suggest it, just fuck off

Pop quiz: who knows what seeds these are? (I do but I wonder who else does)

Sitting here clearing up disk space o my phone and thinking how I miss the 1TB phone I had before this one and honestly even knowing this was the future I can’t help but think how funny that would have seemed to me 30 years ago when I had a 33GB RAID

Achievement unlocked: on the shitter when a significant earthquake hits Achievement that would have been unlocked 3 minutes later: in the shower when an earthquake hits Thank you pachamama, in the shower would have been so much worse.

But I don’t WANT to eat a bowl of sugar free yogurt

“Maybe we shouldn’t go considering the price of gas,” he said last night as we were filling the tank “Maybe we should definitely go because it could’ve the last roadtrip for a while,” I replied 4:29 am: heading out on a short roadtrip to see the rally races

So… do y’all in the USA still have unchanged gas prices? Because our gas prices here in peru went up today by about 4 soles a gallon or more than $1.25, to around 16.50 soles for regular or about $5 US. We get diesel from Venezuela but gasoline from Iraq via Ecuador, in addition to Peruvian

I know it’s fashionable to disrespect the Holy Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Ottoman Empire. But these things worked out ok until they didn’t. For a longer period of time than, say, the United States of America

Anyway that theoretical laptop upgrade cash is just gonna go to medical bills and I’m totally salty about it because also waiting for lab results is like one of my biggest anxiety triggers

“But you don’t look diabetic” Lady I have thinning hair and dry skin with flaky patches I don’t know what other things look diabetic

One time I accidentally bit into a banana in the USA and I thought I was going to barf, but I forced myself to chew and swallow that bite. Here in Peru all our fruit is pretty good which is why we export it.

I'm sorry but I can't help myself: the best fruit discourse is poisoned by conflating "average one you get at the grocery store" with "best you've ever had.". The classic example is peach, the average grocery store peach is dogshit and the best you've ever had is a transcendent experience

Me: Im just gonna buy a cheap second laptop so I can stop lugging mine around Also me: don’t you have one with a decent nvidia gpu and that isn’t an AMD chip? Listen life isn’t easy when you’re a nerd

The last sentence. People who fall for scams can’t be mad at themselves while their self-image is wrapped up in the scam, *even as the scam is falling apart*, because that means admitting a mistake and fallibility. So they HAVE to be mad at those who successfully avoided getting scammed.

Sigh. Leftists invented whole aesthetics around using technology w/o destroying the world. Anarchist transfems teach classes on solar power and spawn three new electronic music genres weekly. We are notoriously into trains, libraries, vaccines. We just didn't fall for a scam and now y'all are sore.

30+ years ago bright eyed idealists like me thought the internet was not gonna be ruled by literal villains who are also dumbfucks, and i honestly miss those times.

People also think the 80 hours a week is why their game was successful and like, no, that part was luck. There was also plenty of people who worked 80 hours a week whose games flopped, you just don’t hear their stories.

My dad would have turned 81 today but alas instead he’s been dead for almost 22 years. In only 5 years I’ll be older than he lived to be. He was a scholar, athlete, teacher, builder, leader and so much more. He was the best dad ever and I miss him every single day.

I copped out on dinner and just ate 2 boiled eggs, some yogurt, and 2 strawberries lol

It’s a whole week of planned meals I swear Tonight I’m gonna make a burger patty with a beet and a sweet potato with an illicit slice of mango for dessert, and a whole 2.5L of cucumber mint lime infusion Breakfast another slice of mango, berries, yogurt, coffee Alt text for full

Okay I did it and even earned my cardio points for getting it all to the 5th floor But now my executive function can only fail me by refusing to put berries and yogurt in a bowl or saying tuna salad is too much to make See alt text for the thrill of 105 soles or about $31 US in fancy groceries

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 7mo ago

It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood. "It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

10 years apart The first one is from a day when I was in the hospital after my open cancer surgery. The second is last Tuesday, an ordinary day these days. I just keep putting one in front of the other, because I don’t have a better idea
