Dear Canada, could you please keep your cold air to yourselves? You're only going to make us burn more fossil fuels and that's just going to make the whole situation worse. Tis the season for rolling

Downtown Louisville is a mystical place. It's 'the big city' to the folks that don't live there, a dangerous, scary place to the white people whose parents fled it with the 'end' of segregation. It moonlights

mistakes were made i'm afraid no need for blame it'll end all the same digital voyeurs -- turn on, tune in, drop out millionaire dreams and backlit screens gigabyte habits and bandwidth fiends boomers

Few years back I was making a high speed run to Santa Fe and stopped for the night in Amarillo, Texas. With a couple hours of light left and only a block or two separating me from downtown and old Route

Got to thinking the other day, if microdosing is half as good for humans as they say it is, it'd probably be a good thing for cats too. Doesn't hardly seem fair for us to keep the serotonin superhighway

Richard Milhous Nixon for President 2024! Ol' Tricky Dick was made for times like these. Been reading Hunter S. Thompson's Generation Of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the 80s and it's wild how

Free The Glutens! It's one of my favorite phrases to yell out at inopportune moments. It is not something that AI excels at turning into 1930s Soviet propaganda posters however. Recently I subscribed to

"Making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty and nice. Department of Homeland Security is coming to town!" The holiest days of consumerism are upon us and the scent of

"If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche Pretty sure the internet is the digital analogue of the abyss. How many hours have we spent

Been thinking a lot about what happened at Club Q in Colorado Springs this past weekend. It hits close to home, my partner is bisexual and my brother is gay, many of the folks I hold dear are queer. If

Dear Elon Musk, could you please buy Facebook next? I hear they're doing bad things to free speech there and could use your magic touch. "Rich Asshole Buys Social Media Company, Shitshow Ensues"

Ever since I started on here, or rather on that blockchain that shall not be named, I've been trying to cipher out a rhyme or reason to upvotes. What makes a post do well? What makes a post do poorly?

It's one of those dreary days, cloudy, cold, and wet, where you don't want to even set foot outside. Or just an average day in the Pacific Northwest. The sort of day where you try and set your mind to

Got to play around with making AI art for the first time today. Thanks @derangedvisions! Midjourney lets you make a few images for free so I had to give it a try. You use discord to give prompts to a bot

The feds that is. Earlier this week they sentenced Grandmaster Jay, the leader of the Not Fucking Around Coalition (NFAC), to 86 months in federal prison. Here in the US we have a long history (see COINTELPRO)

It's Election Day here in the (dis)United States, that momentous day where we collectively pretend to have a say in the running of the country while those in charge pretend to listen. One third of the

Earlier this week I set out to document the local cash crop but as I wandered about I couldn't help but snap some shots of the people going about their day around me. Here in the US, postal workers have

For the longest time tobacco was the big cash crop here in Kentucky. Times change and tobacco went out of style, leaving people scrambling to find a new cash crop. Some turned to growing marijuana but

It's been a less than ideal day for taking photos today, pissing rain with an ash colored sky. Straight outta Seattle. Grungy but without the heroin. Perfect coffee weather though. Is there any weather

Go away or I shall taunt you a second time! Is there a sport more well suited to yelling Monty Python lines from the sidelines than golf? Ni! Ni! Dusted off my coconuts today and rode on down to the public
