Went on a walk to cure my grumpiness and it mostly worked. My favorite local coffee place in town, Palace Cafe, is opening a new spot blocks away from us. I peeked in the window today and saw their new signage (we live in Springfield, can you tell?).
I can imagine being far less grumpy when I can walk down here to get an Espresso Frost whenever I want. Maybe I won’t need ADHD medication after all.
I just spent the morning as an observer at the first @Boulder community assembly. It is a work in progress, and I am so proud of my town. At a time when democracy is falling apart, there is hope when we come together for real problem solving. https://bouldercolorado.gov/community-assembly
I guess one way to keep undercapitalized, state-sponsored insurers of last resort solvent in the face of rising climate driven losses is to just not pay out claims?

Thank you.

I'm not clear on how "traditional" salmon is for South Asian cuisine (AFAIK salmon species simply aren't found in waters that close to the equator) but my new favorite next-town-over Indian place's "methi salmon" dish is absolutely delicious.
Also very light on the sauce, for Indian food, which makes me/my doctor happy. Minimal ghee/yogurt/cream/oil and maximal fish!
Making the Dill Dough from an Instagram reel, first rise going on. I bet you could make this with other herbs, but for my first attempt I really wanted to try a dill dough.
Apple trees are so generous, fall is so beautiful.

At the first sign of trouble, the bourgeoisie of the global north has thrown the bourgeoisie of the global south under the bus.
That, in short, is the story of #H1BVisa.
Is there a German word for "The feeling of putting your shorts in the washing machine at the end of summer, knowing it's probably the last time this year and it won't be hot enough to wear them again till next summer?"
I’m grumpy this morning and I wanted to come sit in my chair but a cute loaf has taken it over.
This expression is 70% “Yes I realize this is your spot, that’s why I do it, because I love you so much,” and 30% “By the blood of my ancestors you will not remove me from my chosen napping place, I was here first, that’s the law, and we both know it.”
Lots of people didn’t get deep* enough into German interwar history to realize that “I am annoyed by the left” is not a great reason to (checks notes) endorse fascism.
* not very deep at all

I think it's a sign of my maturity that at 50+ I no longer dwell on having a less than perfect exchange with people. Like when I just only replied "thank you", without the "you too" when the woman loading in my grocery pickup said "Your all set. Have a nice day!"

In March this year I gave a talk at #Monkigras about how Free Software didn't understand it had invented a labour organising movement, and the the predictable consequences of that realisation. It wasn't recorded.
Here's a repeat I gave at #PyConAU this week. ENJOY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsbUzGailCw
