I hadn't planned on making this image until later in spring with lime green leaves, but alas there was an opportunity that was too good to pass up.

This veteran hornbeam has bags of character - I just love its shape. The snowstorm lasted about an hour in the dying light of the day.

By morning the snow was gone, and the opportunity had gone. Sometimes you just have to take advantage of a short window.

Miju typically makes a sound when she starts to climb the stairs, but when she runs up them, it usualy sounds like this. #Caturday #BigRob

Yesterday, I said that the "dark" part of the Fediverse was moving to Nostr.

This is because these folks don't like being "censored" and believe they are entitled to visibility.

They don't like moderation. That's what it comes down to.

They're fine with abuse and spam. In fact, they believe it's a net benefit to social media.

And when you look at Nostr now, that's what it pretty much is right now.

What is more unpleasant?

Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Japanese American community. 81 years ago today, when I was just a boy of four, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, setting in motion the evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast and our long years of internment inside ten barbed wire prison camps.

We must never let such a thing happen again in America, and and we must strive everywhere to prevent the forced relocation and mass incarceration of innocent people. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

swearing about satellites 

Oh god I redid the math on re-entries:

Each Starlink v2 sat weighs 1250kg. They plan to have 42,000 of them in orbit.

Each satellite has a planned lifetime of 5 years. That means they'll be de-orbiting and replacing ALL of them every 5 years.

That comes to 23 sats per day, which is 29 TONS OF SATELLITE every day.

It doesn't go away, it gets added to the upper atmosphere. Most of the mass is aluminum. What the hell is that going to do?

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS OK?!

💮 I posted this in a comment and thought I'd share it with you too!

This is a "night-blooming cereus." It's a large plant with long, gangly leaves on long, tough stems. A type of cactus with no thorns, they can hang in baskets and become quite long.

A blossom forms quickly over several days, then opens just for one night. By the next day it's faded. They are very frangrant. I had this cereus for over a decade (it now lives with a friend back in the US).

Nintendo’s CEO recently said “If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease” and is instead doing the opposite by raising pay to address inflation.

Some leaders are built different.
