We're watching KREM (Spokane TV station) and they're reporting that they're evacuating an evacuation center (Spokane Falls CC for the Old Trails Fire) to the Convention Center. It's bad bad bad.
Dakota Smith@weatherdak.bsky.social · 4d agoWildfires rage across the Pacific Northwest this evening. Parts of Spokane, Washington are under evacuation due to the blazes.
Yes, this is our current reality in Spokane.

I’m still thinking about this. The Deep Space Network is such core infrastructure. It’s huge, international, not very flashy, and utterly vital. I tried to place stories on it for years and rarely succeeded. Funding was always touchy. For repairs…? But without it, our space robots can’t call home.

The success of Emily Wilson's translation had nothing to do with Christopher Nolan. The hardcover edition came out 9 years ago and was a huge success. The paperback has been in steady demand since 2018. My store has sold 75 copies (a lot for 1 book for us) and 66 of those were before January.
Ignacio Gallup-Diaz@igallupd.bsky.social · 2w ago“A Penn professor thought she’d sell 1000 copies of her ‘Odyssey’ translation. She sold a million this year alone, thanks to Christopher Nolan.” “West Philly's Emily Wilson, who penned a highly acclaimed translation of the epic poem in 2017, is having a big summer.”
So the imminent human apocalypse rides in on the wake of our own billionaire tech? Comforting. "Open the pod bay doors, Hal."
