Fine. I'll be House Speaker.

I've been struggling with this myself, so I thought I'd repeat it for other people that might be dealing with the same thing:

Not every hobby needs to be a project. Not everything needs to be a whole *thing* with a goal and an endpoint. It's okay to not finish something. It's okay to pick up something for a bit, explore it, start making something, and then drop it without making any "progress".

Productivity is capitalist bullshit that doesn't need to infect your free time too. Have some fun

She invented Dynamic Instruction Scheduling at IBM, but IBM fired her when they learned she was transitioning.

Winter juncos are such lovely companions.

I'm really disappointed in some Twitter media friends who decided to stick with Musk while he assaulted journalism.

The tone of this story seems like a departure for the New York Times. It doesn’t pretend Elise Stefanik is sincere (which she isn’t) and it doesn’t pretend she might be telling the truth (which she isn’t). It’s an excellent story about a dangerous fascist. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/31/us/politics/elise-stefanik.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Sunset from Monday over the big lake. Vertical shot. If you haven't changed your image settings, you'll need to smash it to see the entire image.

One of the best sunsets of the year!

I love the variety played on #KEXP, an independent radio station in #Seattle. I donated today because I'm frequently streaming the station - at work and during my off time.

Tomorrow is the last day of the year 2022 but the end of the month!

Until now we have profited from the energy prices for the server with #Hetzner since they produce their own green electric but from Jan 1st all server costs will increase with 10%(!!)

Within a few days a new server bill will present itself, please think about supporting if you can ❤️

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Gregor Mendel’s 1822 birth, scientists exhumed his body and sequenced his DNA. But what would Mendel think about that?

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.
