The object was likely either a meteor or space junk, with most sightings of the streak of light and fireball coming from Georgia and South Carolina, the National Weather Service said.

What's that in the sky? We're not sure, but the fireball was very bright

As someone who quit drinking and orders a lot of NA beers at bars this is very accurate. I’ve had people flat out ask if I’m an alcoholic or if I’m a Mormon.

Stereoscope, my new app for the Apple Vision Pro, just went live! It's a free viewer that turns side-by-side stereographs into true 3D images.

To use it, just copy a stereograph, then in Stereoscope, load in Parallel or Cross-Eye format. Crop & offset if needed.

A screenshot of the opening app page with text: "Stereoscope displays stereographs in 3D." The instructions say "Copy a stereograph, then load it here".

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I hadn’t seen how @sandboxvr.bsky.social is creating “ride through” videos, but it’s a great takeaway from an experience like this.

In 2025, I'm going to try my best to get involved and care about local issues, especially around cycling and adding bike lanes. It's a "small" issue that, in theory, should be easy-ish for a lot of people to agree on. We got a victory in Kitsap this month. www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/2...

Bremerton's 'road diet' for Naval Ave approved, with city now to buy 83 slices of property

A city plan to reduce the number of lanes for cars on Naval Avenue was approved, with residents split on either side of the vote.
