When trying to make myself remember the old Capitola store Collectors Corner, @lordbaronmccabre.bsky.social sent me a paper from 1987.
I was not expecting this names "Lawrence Kudlow" and "Bear, Stearns & Co." to attack me from the bottom of the page regarding the wake of Black Monday 1987.

I feel a certain level of [facepalm] at the amount of rad explainer they felt they needed to do rather than discuss the lab/museum itself more, but such is dealing with a radiophobic public.

And, man, just can't decon wood. We sure have tried.

This Day in Labor History: November 26, 1910.A factory in Newark, New Jersey caught on fire, killing 25 workers. This should have been led to workplace safety reform, but because wealthy people did not see the people making their clothing die, nothing happened. Triangle would be next year!!!

Per kitties, an air compressor is like the vacuum but much, much worse. I am a monster for having allowed it into the house.

It's true! Money may be exchanged for ska and services.
Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

"Go Stick Your Head In A Pig" definitely feels like OpenAI's response to this.
As a lawyer, I'm willing to admit that "we're not responsible for our chatbot talking someone into suicide because our terms of service prohibit using our chatbot for suicide" means that lawyers need to be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

Anorthite:
- A calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar
- Forms in mafic igneous rocks
- Found on the Moon and and in comets such as Comet 81P/Wild
- Its name comes from the Greek words "αν oρθός/an orthós" (not a right angle) because its crystals have an oblique form #minerals

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Clown Train is MAJOR upgrade on a mere clown car.
Enough with "I'm running on COMMON SENSE values." I want absurd values. Clowns on every train. Possum cops. The government pays in live goats. Worms in every gas tank. A war on clouds. It can't go any wronger than what we've already got going on, here.
