I placed my phone up against a beer can on a picnic table and set it for a 30-second nighttime exposure.

I am sometimes surprised by what it picks up that I cannot necessarily process with my own vision.

@Hey_Beth @therobburgessshow the best block is to not use X at all.

Would you be here if you didn’t have good #internet access? High-speed internet is no longer a luxury but an “absolute necessity.” Pres #Biden has pledged that every household in the nation would have access by 2030 using cables made in the U.S.

“These investments will help all Americans,” he said. “We’re not going to leave anyone behind.”

#Democrats make things better with #IRA.

message to all reverse engineers and hackers of fedi: when youre figuring out some really obscure thing and you finally crack it PLEASE document it somewhere on the web. maybe youre the first to ever walk this path, maybe youre the first person to care. but i promise you are not the last, and there will be a day when some lone hacker follows the path you took years or decades ago and they will find what you wrote and they will be eternally grateful and wont forget it ever. and thats so beautiful

I'm pretty worried that he'll convince his co-conspirators in Congress to shut down our government next month 😢

Maybe, Jack Smith's cases against the sitting members of Congress are close enough to bring indictments, but I'm still not sure if that would stop the GOP from harming the USA in order to protect their cult leader.

Fun #physics fact for #Caturday

#Cats exist in a quantum superposition of two states: "pet me" and "how dare you touch me you hairless ape". It is only by touching them that their wave function collapses to one of these states.

We have to call the arboretum the "place with the greenery that one traverses" for the dog not to understand us.
