A lot of folks didn’t learn this lesson during Trump’s first term, apparently:

Focus on what he does, not what he says.

He’s going to say a lot of things, but those things are meant to distract you from what he’s doing.

Two years ago today, I gave a talk in Antarctica, which means I’ve given an invited professional talk on all seven continents!

After several attempts over a period of 6 years, patience finally paid off. For an all too brief moment, Argentinian Patagonia's vast, breathtaking Perito Moreno glacier is dressed in the most beautiful light!

People outside of LA truly don’t understand how apocalyptic this is. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Entire residential neighborhoods are burning to the ground.

Russian telegram channels are claiming that Assad was poisoned in an apparent assassination attempt in Russia this week.

Still very unconfirmed, but if true, that didn’t take long.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine started 32 years ago today with "Emissary".

This is still my favorite Trek series.

I read a *lot*

I also listen to a ton of audiobooks on my commute.

Claiming that audiobooks aren’t “reading” is nonsense - you go on the same adventures, you learn the same things.

Listen to Scott Brick, Jim Dale, Kate Reading, or Michael Kramer — the experience is transcendent.
::Sigh:: Once more for the people in the back. If audiobooks don’t count as reading, then braille isn’t reading either. Stop gatekeeping literacy.

Y'know, of the many things I don't love about the Current State of Things, the seeming acceptance of half-assery in every endeavor is certainly up there.

I'm not entirely opposed to AI upscaling, but inventing detail which isn't there is definitely not a good outcome.
I cannot get over how terrifying the AI people behind Ricky Ricardo look in this, uh, remaster.
