CLEVELAND! CHICAGO! Get your butts outside to see the #auroraborealis! My daughter Carolyn took these from Madison, OH, and I can see them faintly through the light pollution in suburban Chicago. Stunning.

@wjmaggos Yeah, I think it subsided by then (and also, clouds). The Kp has gone back up so try again, just in case.

This evening I finally had a cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory and I can unreservedly say that, of all the cheesecakes I’ve had in my life, it was definitely one of them.

“Tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin’ We’re finally on our own This summer I hear the drummin’ Four dead in Ohio…”In this season of widespread campus protests and calls for National Guard deployments to quell them, this day takes even more weight than usual. Always remember where that road leads.

I just saw someone characterize running a Mastodon instance as being “no harder than running your own mail server” and I thought “off, that’s a savage takedown” before grasping that they meant it as a positive.

I just saw J D Vance called a “broligarch-funded shillbilly” and I can only wish I could write half so well ☠️

I should probably rethink the placement of these on my desk.

So… O’Reilly sent me email today hyping up how my books (really, just the one, I assume) is going to be AI-translated into Spanish and German, with other languages to follow. This was probably inevitable, but I still have concerns.First: are there no human translators of these languages?Second: who’s going to proof-read all 1,126 pages to make sure nothing got botched, especially given the technical nature of the content? The readers? Which isn’t even crowd-sourcing: it’s customer-sourcing.

In every relationship there is one person who loads the grocery belt like a Scandinavian architect, and one who loads it like a racoon on crystal meth.

This week has really driven home that the word “tariffs” ends with FFS.

“I think the main thing that’s caused so much confusion is that he was always generally apolitical for the most part,” the friend told me. “That's the big thing, he just never really talked politics which is why it's so frustrating.” https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-leaked-messages-from-charlie

Today I learned that the first known use of the term “brain rot” was in Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden” (1854) and I do not know how to process this.
