Please enjoy these pictures of Erie in my 10yo's jacket. The jacket lives on the floor despite being like a foot away from a coat hook, because #kids.

People who are just-just joining us, two primary culture notes:

1. Alt text for pictures is extremely strongly encouraged here.

2. CW is "Content Wrapper" as much as "Content Warning"; content that is loooooong, has a sharply limited audience, or is upsetting is a strong candidate for a CW; use your judgement.

(Some dipshit may tell you that talking frankly about your experiences with racism, sexism, or the like are upsetting and need a CW. You, in turn, can tell them to get bent.)

Along the lonely US395, in California but on the other side of the mountains, and flagged by a highway sign and some rock pillars is a monument that the US tried to forget

Thousands of Japanese were interred here during WWII stripped of their freedom, their property, their belongings, much of which was never recovered

Most of the site was bulldozed after the war, trying to give it back to the chaparral

Foundations like the hospital here and the cemetery are all that is left

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,

"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."

He's photomatt on Twitter, or look here too: https://automattic.com/work-with-us/

Boost for visibility, please? Spread the word!

There is something to be said about folks who wish to implement a rule/law/measure not because it makes sense, but purely because they want to be the one to make a rule and force people to obey.

"I want my way, and the context doesnt matter"

Honestly, the problem isn't that Tesla calls it "autopilot", it's that people have no idea what auto pilot actually does in air planes. It will 100% fly you through another airplane if that's what's right in front of you. Because autopilot is *incredibly dumb*. And thus: works.

The 9,046-lb Hummer EV is so enormous that charging it costs ~$100.

"It simply takes a lot more energy to accelerate all that heft. It's just not as efficient as other electric vehicles on the market."

This car is such a disaster.

I've been reflecting on this, and I think singular most memorable moment of #ScienceTwitter was when that lady faked the death of her pseud (and implied the pseud was also her lover) and even had a Zoom funeral. That was BONKERS.

I think about this image a lot
