We went out on a night hike last night and @scibugs.bsky.social spotted this adorable Red-spotted Glass Frog. These frogs are found in the Andes Mountains from Colombia south into Ecuador.

Elon Musk and his gang of pimple faced hackers ran wild in the government. According to both whistleblowers, they broke the law, over and over again. Today, we're launching a simple demand: #InvestigateDOGE and hold them accountable 👉 actionnetwork.org/petitions/el...

It's been a really long time since I posted a vid to Youtube. For the last couple of years it's been hard to create anything. (I mean, some days it's hard to put two thoughts together!!) So I'm thrilled that my creative brain is coming back to life.

too late I switched to qobuz and the sound quality is MUCH MUCH better and they pay artists more. Have not made any playlists yet because I just start an album and listen all the way through, so I have had no problems with the interface. Spotify is dead to me.

I watched some episodes of "Journey to the Microcosmos" last night before bed and it was very helpful 💚

tip for parent management: my parents were asking me about chatGPT, and have some friends who love it, and none of my attempts to caution them were as successful as just sending them the Wikipedia page for AI hallucinations

"... It's not easy to find a kind of hope that can withstand the reality that children die, that we are monstrous to one another, that we are capable of hurting each other in profound and lasting ways. But I think it's possible."

John Green talking about hope as a decision.

"The kind of hope that can withstand the reality of human experience is much harder and more nuanced than mere nihilism...."

Mayor Mamdani Proves Progress Does Not Need To Be Slow Pundits and politicians mocked universal childcare as a socialist fantasy—now many of them are silent as it becomes a practical reality

They said universal childcare was impossible. They said Albany would block it. They were wrong.

Eight days into office, Zohran Mamdani locked in a fully funded pathway to universal childcare with Kathy Hochul.

This is what happens when organized people beat organized money.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Btw during Return to Lordran, I've been secretly spamming the network with a lot of Vagrants. A ton on PS and some on PC as well.

Over 100 players got a Good Vagrant here in Ash Lake, possibly without even realizing it. Just one of many examples. This is (likely) one of my own that came back to me.

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

@luhmann@hachyderm.io on Mastodon: So when Trump decides to go get Greenland he’s just going to fly in and kidnap our prime minister. Great. You have a unscrupulous and clinically insane idiot elected as your president and he wants to own the world. I have absolutely no trust in any of you Americans whether you are pronounced MAGA or if you “didn’t vote for the guy”: Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it’s your fucking responsibility to stop him.

One of today's topics was "comfort games". The admin for our little group has been immersed in Factorio lately! I didn't know much about it so it was fun to get such an enthusiastic review.

Here's a playlist for the Factorio soundtrack.

I almost skipped the Synth Nerds Discord meeting today. I felt wiped out, emotionally exhausted from recent news, and I didn't feel like talking to anyone.

Also I'm behind on the homework, ugh.

But I forced myself to go, and felt a little better afterward.

I had my regular meeting with the synth nerds discord group today, and we talked about "what can you do in these strange times". We decided -- figure out a niche you can contribute to, and do that. In our case, it means helping each other learn music.

Solo Bee Guy also sounds like a great pursuit!

At a time when he’s caused healthcare & other costs to skyrocket here at home, Trump bailed out Argentina & wants to "run" Venezuela, including if necessary, w/ US boots on the ground. All he cares abt is enriching himself, big bankers, oil CEOs & the rest of his billionaire pals.
