@dieworkwear.bsky.social you should probably comment on this. Kurosawa and Mifune in Venice 1960. It’s going around on the internet. Probably with the release of High and Low. Damn Fine.
If the computer programmers of the world were Irish my life would be easier. Learn to escape the feckin' apostrophe!

Kurosawa and Mifune had that shit on
My brother once fooled me into calling the local radio station to inquire what was the band playing that song. Who?
I remember getting the vax at a community mass vax and being so happy. We waited in line but there was a string trio playing music while we waited.
She just asks questions. What could be wrong with that?

I assume you mean we don’t want to condemn a whole swath of people because their ancestors were settlers or colonialists. My ancestors were Irish, German, Austrian, English and French. I live on land that once belonged to the Áakʼw Ḵwáan on Lingít Aaní (Edited 10:33 AM via @skeetsapp.com)
Doesn’t even include smallpox. I am old enough I got a smallpox vaccine.
“Copies” didn’t exist when I was a kid. We watched The Wizard of Oz or Cinderella (the one with Julie Andrews) when it came around on the TV.
Ready for Tuesday
I well remember the time I went to pet my dog who was lying on the bed looking cute and there was also half a baby rabbit on the bed.
Plus it was developed by a none profit and will be available without royalties
About as effective, but I’m not in any position of authority. Hmmm. 🤔 (Edited 7:48 PM via @skeetsapp.com)

Strongly worded letters will set us free. Said nobody.
Fries for everyone!
Begich is “encouraged” about Trump’s supposed summit with Putin. He’s Trump’s lapdog the way Trump is Putin’s lapdog. A lapdog of a lapdog? What is that?
Suicide Basin just released. Hope the new levees hold. I am not in the flood zone - anyone who is, stay safe.
When my mother was born they didn’t have indoor plumbing or electricity. Got electricity in 1942. A farm in Oregon. Thanks rural electrification. (My Dad was born in Brooklyn - they had an icebox but in the winter they didn’t get ice delivered, they had a box that fit in the window)
I don’t think I even knew SF existed when I was a kid. First one I remember reading from the school was Arthur C Clarke Dolphin Island. Which I thought was real. Got into Heinlein later. Spacesuit will Travel, and Andre Norton. I did have to mentally substitute female protagonists for the male
Antiquitarians may diplomatisize but should avoid malevolences while describing cleruchy or didakai.
I fear the electrocreeps who have embused nebunks and chorded with electronvolts in quest for master hoods and magnificentness
Hey Mister Tambourine Man turns out to be a good earworm song to have in your head while walking. You can make up new lyrics. I can drink pink lemonade. I keep throwing shade. It only masquerade. Until the sunset fades. I’ve really got it made. My beadspreads are all fade. I’m only wandering.
Nightward I go, but I seek foxtrots. Waitlisting, I abhor the familiarization of they who commercializes the anodized divulgence of muskmelons.
Where are the sweeping fields of pineapple and bananas? I was led to believe we could manufacture them in the US.
Those dardenest giltheads, eraseurs, aspergills, they’re fuliginousness is confixing to me. But in the end they are dullsville.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Also that 20% of the staff have quit/retired
A dairy farm wanted to increase production in a scientific manner so they hired a physicist to examine their operation. They examined every facet then gave a presentation which begun “Consider the spherical cow, uniformly filled with milk”
My _grocery store_ app just added AI (labeled beta) to its search function! (I use the apps to compare prices between the two grocery chain stores in my town. Plus Facebook for the ads from the independent IGA. Fortunately the two chains were recently not allowed to merge.)
My mistake with calculator, 30 ft is correct But at least I showed my work!
296 ft Assume gopher hole is uniform cylinder of r=1 takes 140 sec to fill 2.1 gal/ min x (1min/60sec) =0.035 gal/ sec 1 gal =231 in^3. .035 gal x 231 in^3/gal =8.085 in^3/sec 140 sec x 8.085 in^3 /sec = 1,132 in^3 A cylinder is pi*r^2*height 1132 in^3 / 3.1416 in^2 = 3556in / 12 is 296 ft
How it started, how it ended
I grew up in downstate. Well remember the fields of pineapples stretching into the horizon.
I’m normally a big re-reader but Tanith Lee also just explodes me inside. It’s been probably 40 years since I read this, suppose I could read it again.
Evil. And stupid.
Strangely enough and with no particular point, in Sitka Alaska there is a street intersection between Lincoln Ave and Jeff Davis St (it was a different Jeff Davis)
The Hulk Hogan vs Richard Wagner cage match is what I come to Bluesky for
Mourning a dog. He was a 14 y.o. Still too soon. Not unexpected but my subconscious still expects him to be there. I look up from reading where his bed was - he’s not there. I come down in the morning (he couldn’t climb the stairs the last few years) and he’s not there.
That is actually an edible one. Unprecedented
This story forwarded to me by my sister who knows the family is heartbreaking and tragic but so written https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-flood-firsthand-account/
this made me laugh so much
Thought about this when I wrote my post. I am that old.
How bought you stand next to them and say “Hi horsies! Look at the horsies! Want a carrot! Horsies!! And the play the glockenspiel.
“Because stealing it could land you in trouble.”
Nerdy physicist (me): it’s so beautiful! The beauty perfectly captured in this song. https://youtu.be/cSBwaibmZbU?si=VNUwvwMy_Rsh8yiJ
It was a different era
Everyone agrees k d lang is great but they post her singing hallelujah or cryin. But here is here in her early appearance on the Johnny Carson show. I don’t think he expected that. https://youtu.be/U86-361K6ZY?si=oFcEn11fbjfp18W5
This will help https://youtu.be/cSBwaibmZbU?si=WaTwZqkB3oOTWRAP
Turns out, as I expected, there are multiple songs about simple harmonic motion on YouTube, but this one is charming https://youtu.be/cSBwaibmZbU?si=WaTwZqkB3oOTWRAP
Sounds like the time I fractured a rib. Tripped on my floor length mumu nightgown while in the bathroom in the middle of the and hit the immobile “vanity”. Was never able to comfortably wear those again. Early on in pandemic i shortened them and used the fabric to make masks.
I used to have a car named Fenry Honda. (1981 Honda Civic). Later I had an Element named Watson. My brother once had a Valient named Prince.
phone calls to Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski. About proposal to sell off Forrest lands. Lisa might listen - Sullivan don’t have any hope. I wanted to tell him I spit in your direction. Your mother was a hamster & your father smelt of elderberries. Would probably have been just as productive.
Ooh, you didn’t go there.
The signs themselves could be reported as “negative history”. History is happening now.
I still have some clothes my Mom made me - and the patterns match. She is in her 90s now and still healthy but not sewing anymore.
Memory from my childhood: watching Johnny Carson (who loved to wear plaid jackets) on TV (we only got 3 channels) and my Mom yelling at the screen “the stripes don’t match! He probably paid a hundred dollars for that jacket but the stripes don’t match!”
Juneau #NoKings. After the rally we lined up on Egan with our signs and waved at the cruise ship busses. Lots of horn honking, presumably in approval.

Three companies? SpaceX, rockets keep exploding, Starlink, fills a valuable purpose but it’s only in the black because they don’t count cost of launching,Tesla, ha! Boring company? Hype can only get you so far. Drug addled management,not so good. Musk still has his fanboys tho
In honor of Pride Month
Bringing my Mom’s Cole slaw — which involves cabbage, rice vinegar and more sugar than you’ld expect. Dang, I’ll have to ask her for the recipe
Followed you since whatever, then twitter (because of whatever), read your books, now Bluesky.
SE Alaska is already in the wrong time zone geographically - we should be in the pacific time zone. Summer puts us there at least. Without DST the sun will rise at 3:30 in the morning and set about 9 pm.
Eight years old is when they should start working in factories. Small hands are best for assembling circuit boards.
People from elsewhere might not realize it’s pronounced “Gus Davis” like a guy named Gus last name Davis. Not “Goose Tavis”.
When my sister and brother-in-law got married they were busy with work and had no money. They described their honeymoon as going to “a small island in the Pacific” i.e., they went on the Alcatraz tour. (They’ve been married 30+ years now)
He’s living his best life
I used to post this semi-annually on the former site so what the heck. Screw that Jackie Paper
As a young child, a girl on the playground asked me what religion I was. I said “Roman Catholic”. (Only because I had hear that phrase). She said “didn’t the Romans kill Jesus?” I was very confused. (P.S. not religious now and approx 50 years older)
I was an undergrad student in 1974 when someone came to my dorm door selling a newspaper “the workers manifesto” or some such. I bought one but even the the thought passed will the FBI have records of this? I picketed in lines as a child but the paranoia is real. (Edited 5:02 PM via @skeetsapp.com)
I lived in Oklahoma at the time. I didn’t hear the boom but for others I knew it was close. I remember Connie Chung with crion .“ Terror in the Heartland” and I just thought “we’re the heartland?” Donated supplies including all hotel amenities I had saved (Edited 3:48 PM via @skeetsapp.com)
That moment in MYST where you need to get a clue based on a sequence of tones but you are TOTALLY TONE DEAF,
To be fair, the grocery store was rearranging at the time. One of the bigger towns in Alaska.
I just left a message for Lisa Murkowski (my senator) telling her it’s time to “shit or get off the pot”. Time for you too.
Turnips apparently are the key. Never mind they cost $2.79 a pound in my grocery store. Which is Alaska, not a fancy organic grocery store down South
Pro tip: Liquid assets
Hey, I predate the Onion. Its predecessor was the UW-Madison student paper which had great satirical articles when I was a student in the 70s. It was UW students who started the Onion. They basically decided to turn the April 1 issue into a full time gig. (Edited 1:30 PM via @skeetsapp.com)
Put a hold on the audio of what feasts at night. I’m scared - I loved Nettle and Bone, Sorcerous about reached my limit for horror, but somehow I think the audio might actually be a better format? for reference I noped out of Camp Damascus at an early scene - there were bugs
I went to civil rights and Vietnam war protests as a child. Also picketed the grocery store for non-union grapes. My school surrounded by national guard once when there were riots on the nearby university campus. The rioters always smashed the campus bookstore windows.
#HandsOff Juneau, AK, April 5, 2025
I don’t know if I can take it, it took so long to make it, and I’ll never have that recipe again. Tesla melting in the rain.
“Elder millennial” is really doing a thing with my brain. —- signed later Boomer
They have sown the wind and shall reap the whirlwind. Except there shall be no NWS to warn them. I think that’s in the Bible somewhere.
How much of the development of this procedure was funded by NIH grants

I remember when I would to restart Windows 3.1 multiple times per day just to keep ahead of the memory leaks. To keep me amused I had a variety of windows shutdown/startup sounds, many of which I downloaded from AOL.
Fushion cuisine at its finest
I hope they were at least Uillean pipes
I just ordered lots of tea. If I can’t have coffee I’ll take a strong India black tea with milk.
Stockpiling as we speak (metaphorically)
Sunshine came softly through my window today
Do you think either the continuing existence of FAA or the NWS might be important in deciding whether it’s safe to fly?
Please add Alaska. The only reason we are not Canada was because the Russians were pissed at the British in 1867.
My dinner tonight. Very ethic. Much Irish.
