@milesofgray.bsky.social if you’re going to an errand space museum just to see planes and stuff. Make sure you go to the Chantilly museum and not the DC one. airandspace.si.edu/visit/udvar-...

The Udvar-Hazy Center displays thousands of aviation and space artifacts, including the Space Shuttle Discovery and a Concorde, in two large hangars.

@edzitron.com Something I thought of while hearing an ad for Malcom Gladwell’s AI podcast. AI feels like it’s also following a trend that so much boosted tech has which is to isolate us. AI is like the worst iteration too since it’s boosted as replacing so much human interaction in some spheres.

The construction next to the funeral home I drive by next day has turned out to be an assisted living facility. I wonder if your a discount on transportation if you just need to be moved next door. #frugal ☠️☠️☠️

I know personally doing things for the environment doesn’t make a true impact. It’s still nice in the hyper local sense and I also hope giving and example and talking to others creates some 2nd or 3rd order effects that actually matter. I guess it might be like 5th or 6th order effects.

The two extreme view points about AI that I get regualrly are from @theskepticsguide.bsky.social and @edzitron.com. I think it would be interesting for them to talk to each other. Especially since they probably agree on a it of other things.

Can single works make big impacts any more in the current fractured culture? Like The Jungle on meat packing or Silent Spring on chemical pesticides? #environment #climate #books

I still go on things like Reddit too much and it’s stressful even my curated feed. Bluesky is a bit too. Mastodon and Pixelfed though are generally more calming. I think just too many voices make things stressful. #fediverse #pixelfed #mastodon #calmer

If anyone has knowledge about how much picking up litter improve things let me know. Like all things not just trash/plastic out of the ecosystem, but also mood, chance of more litter being dropped, wildlife health? I know there are probably some studies on it. I’ll try to find some of it. #cleanup

Saw someone cleaned up trash that was all over a small overpass. After my run I felt the need to clean some more litter. I only got 2 shopping bag fulls but it felt like a lot.

I’ve been think a little about how neighbors are kind of replaced by apps and services. Like social media being who people talk to but also in who you ask for a ride? Uber. Who dog sits for you? Rover. Who get you sugar when you run out? DoorDash. Who suggests movies, shows, or music? Streaming.

These Amazon ads on podcasts about “Amazon enabling and supporting” small businesses are interesting. Like I’m sure they probably do make logistics easier in some ways but like I also bet anything that gets big enough odds going to end up “Amazon basiced” #ads #eee #workingclass

@booker.senate.gov congratulations on breaking Thurman’s speech record. I hope you and your colleagues can leverage the attention. Keep inspiring people. You spoke a lot for things. We need more messaging for things. Being against this administration is easy but give people something to fight for.
