The National Park Service Is Using Flock. Rangers Are Pissed

Oh, time for my John Hopkins follow-up. Wonder what all this data is going towards?
What's in a name? Thanks EVERYONE for great name ideas! But...I sacrificed originality for sentimentality! Meet Binx! Because dreams don't die & who among us hasn't dreamed of having a black cat named Binx?! 😭💕 Like Thackery - she's a survivor as well - and, of course MAGICAL! 🔮🕯️
On Sunday, parents across the five boroughs got a night to themselves while NY's Cutest enjoyed free activities with NYC Parks staff at select recreation centers. Free & accessible child care doesn’t just make our city more affordable — it gives parents time to rest, recharge, or enjoy a night out.
The Cut@thecut.com · 2d agoThis past weekend, New York City launched its first Parents’ Night Out, a new initiative by Mayor Zohran Mamdani to give families four hours of free babysitting. It was a hit.

Dave Lack@davelack.bsky.social · 16h agoBtw, there is a recall of Outshine fruit bars for possible glass contamination.
Okay, Small Gods is making up for my poor impression of the Discworld from the Death series. Told myself I would read just a bit before bed. Burned through half the book and now it's 11:30. I wanted to go the bed early!! I like this one.
Scooter day, Spent an afternoon scooting around the Carson Lake and Pasture WMA seeing if I could go birding that way. Alas, even the *cows* ran away from me. #GrainSocial https://grain.social/profile/did:plc:vl46rfb6yxqynektuye3vba6/gallery/3mtbtc3vlu52p
Only a fraction of materials that survive from the pre-digital world have been digitised, and even in a world of ideal funding and staffing we would not be close to digitising it all, never mind the straitened conditions in which so many archives and libraries must operate today
Riley Bruce@rileybruce.bsky.social · 7d agoWhat’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
I feel if a frozen pizza fits on my dinner plate it is one serving. Not three, despite what the box says.
the average american voter, after decades of undermined public education, has no idea what 'hegemony' is, never-mind how american hegemony benefits them. but now? there will be lag, but they're going to find out.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump allies himself w/Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship w/Kim Jong Un, I am not happy that the US has agreed to Joint Military Exercises…I recently asked the President of SK if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of Iran, & they said, ‘No thanks!’”
Some asshat decided he was bothered enough by my shopping to loudly proclaim "Covid's over, don't need the mask anymore."
A lot of people don't know this, but when you brush a cat, you are legally required to show them the wad of cat hair that came off of them and tell them "this is enough for another whole cat"
BREAKING: President Trump orders the Pentagon to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea after he says it declined to help denuclearize Iran.

I learned awhile back when first playing with UV lights that areas of my kitchen glowed and could never figure out what made the mess. TIL "Among cooking ingredients, olive oil and other vegetable oils typically fluoresce with a yellow to greenish-yellow color." Ah!

The US Army realised in 1941, as it spooled up for war, that it needed around 500,000 typewriters to function. so great was the need that they had to requisition and ration them. HALF A MILLION. Equivalent to 40% of the entire US domestic supply at the time. Logtics wins wars.
David, Host of The Cold War@coldwarhost.bsky.social · 3d agoTell me again about your "warfighting"?
Think that was the first time I've been a block away from a full 5 minute firework show. Wow that's loud.
Scooted around Carson Lake and Pasture today. Alas, the wildlife and livestock are not used to a weirdo on two tiny wheels so literally everyone ran away.
My latest over at Public Notice. Thanks to @atrupar.com for publishing me.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d ago"Ultimately, the gadflies don’t seem to actually understand how being a transgender athlete works. The idea that cisgender men like Enes and Royce would voluntarily undergo chemical castration to try to join the WNBA and make a minuscule rookie salary is farcical on its face."
Tonight, I am sitting here having my chicken and bok choi dinner, windows open for the cool night air, and listening to the concert in the park. It's a good way to end the day.
