Data sadist. High quality, high variance, galaxy-brained takes. Urbanism, rage against cruelty and inefficiency, scifi/fantasy, shoegaze, stats and programming. I live in Denver, say hi if you're on Ikon.

Promptly forgets the good social tek

So the magic mushrooms are strategically spreading through human nature-cultivating 👽
![The range in which P. cyanescens occurs is rapidly expanding, especially in areas where it is not native as the use of mulch to control weeds has been popularized.[7] This rapid expansion of range may be due in part to the simple expedient of P. cyanescens mycelium having colonized the distribution network of woodchip suppliers and thus being distributed on a large scale with commercial mulch.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3fyqtukihhbpz4jqpk6y4xo7/bafkreiflvfpf3znkbzp47hc3erqxwudyfjk5s4porczq45n3aybzwhkmbi@jpeg)

I see it in the water.
I feel it in the Earth.
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost,
For none now live who remember it.

I agree with him we should ban cars from parking on the street.

The thermians are probably my favorite aliens. Weird but also humanoid superficially. And the portrayal as tool-using autist seals is so convincing. Amazing acting.

Thinking about MAID, and how I hope I have the chance to live to 105, have an evening around a campfire under the aspens with all my friends and family, and then say goodbye and walk out into the snowfall and accept the gift of men.
