Oh yeah, I ride by there at last once a week. I wanted to call that segment “haunted woods” on Strava, but someone beat me to it. 🤓

Where as this taken?

The Vulcans in Star Trek are a science fiction version of Tolkien’s elves (they resemble men, but are smarter, stronger, longer-lived and have pointy ears). #floodthetimeline

I think this is an under-recognized aspect of Donald J Trump: He is a sadistic abuser who enjoys causing chaos and terror. It was a grave mistake putting him in power.

I came across Bloom HS during a bike ride last year, and was quite impressed… did not know about the WPA frescoes at the time.

I’m working on a presentation about using AI to create a resume; it would be funny if my conclusion is: “Don’t use AI to create a resume!”

Apparently the NASA office of communications has been cut severely, which is part of the reason that the public was barely aware of the Artemis II mission. #NASA

It’s sadly telling that Artemis II is one of the few positive accomplishments of Trump’s presidency, yet he is not even talking about it. #NASA

TBF, our beaches are covered with ice two months out of the year 🥶

I should add that the photo of Carl Schurz HS isn’t mine; it is by Paul R Burley and I copied it from Wikipedia.

The building already had an awkward combination of elements IMO, so adding the garage there was an additional insult 😆

Early 20th century school building

In a more modern vein there’s Bloom High School in Chicago Heights and Carl Schurz in Chicago

I have a truing joke, but it’s out of tune with the times.

Mini daffodils in a hanging planter

I brought these mini daffodil sprouts indoors to save them from the sub-20 temperatures, and they bloomed overnight!

Yes the regime is in trouble… his! 🤣

One of the most joyful times in my life was the time that I learned that a friend had missed the last ten minutes of Aliens, so I acted it out including sound effects. 🤓

MAYbe gutting the State Department wasn’t such a smart idea…

At 1:30 Central/2:30 Eastern, my colleague @harperseldin.bsky.social will be in state court in Kansas asking a judge to block the new law that invalidated the driver's licenses of trans people across the state. You can tune into the hearing here

Shoutout today to Joe Haldeman, who I believe coined #foreverwar in his 1974 novel of that name. No particular reason 😇
