I really like what he's saying here, especially towards the end of the essay.

If you go much further than this in the hills outside Crested Butte, you'll be in Paradise Basin. Haven't made it there yet. Maybe someday. But this place is beautiful on it's own.

Haven't been here for a while. Just checking in to see how things are going. This is a picture of wildflowers blooming in Crested Butte, Colorado.

Judge Rules Trump Can’t Fire Head of Federal Watchdog Agency Without Cause A federal judge said that the president’s efforts to remove Hampton Dellinger, who leads the Office of Special Counsel, were unlawful.

A federal judge in Washington on Saturday blocked the Trump administration from ousting the top official at a federal watchdog agency, finding that its efforts to do so were unlawful.

This says it all.

Steve Schmidt on Substack Donald Trump is a domestic enemy of the government that he swore to protect. He is a deadly clown who is just getting started, but he will not succeed because he cannot shut us down or up. Never.

Thank you. I hope you all come up with a solution that works and doesn't involve raping Ukraine of it's rare earth minerals. That's despicable.

Tesla’s stock is plummeting along with Elon Musk's reputation.

Let's do our part to speed up the downfall of both and make it extra-embarrassing to drive a Swasticar.

Well I plan to as well. I figure I'll "get it" eventually and maybe they'll make some improvements over time.

So sad .

Is it real, or is it Memorex? So, social media, and FB in particular, is releasing their role as a publisher, and is simply leaving it to the community to fact check and figure out before they post anything whether it’s real or not. So now we can all be editors in our copious spare time.

They've decided to just let whatever shows up in your feed show up. So now it’s up to all of us users to try and figure out whether the pics we’re passing along in memes are real or AI. Some of us don’t automatically leap to the conclusion that whatever pic we’re looking at is real, or is it AI?

to me, it was just a picture and didn’t necessarily mean it was a real picture. We have AI everywhere now. It’s everywhere, and it’s getting more everywhere now than ever before.
On top of that, I’m told that FB has decided not to fact check things.

The other day on FB, I accidently posted a picture of the pope along with a supposed statement from The Jesuits that he had passed. It seemed legit to me. The picture was a little weird because it showed him in a hospital bed wearing his full vestments.

well, that makes it somewhat less interesting and interactive.

OK. So if I see a post and I want to see all the comments on that post how do I do it?

I'm making progress on closing the transaction on my Denver condo, but still living in a hotel, and probably will be another week before we get to move in. It's been a long 3 weeks! (and expensive...)

The iPhone 15 Pro has automatic long exposure (10 seconds) for low-light conditions. Just point and shoot! This is a view of Denver facing SE and looks out over The Denver Tech Center.

"But the policies coming out of the Trump White House are closely aligned with Project 2025 ...

"An NBC News poll in September 2024 showed that only 4% of voters liked what was in Project 2025. It was so unpopular that Trump called parts of it "ridiculous and abysmal" and denied all knowledge of it." - Heather Cox Richardson

So sad ...

Good idea!

Very pretty!

True. It can be difficult to stay focused.

Yes, they are both despicable!
