Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo capturing the reflection of a domed, ornate historic building in the glass facade of a modern skyscraper.

My name is Matt Maasdam
and I’m running for Congress
to flip Michigan’s 7th congressional district.
I’m not a politician.
I’m a father, a husband, and a Navy SEAL.
I carried the nuclear football for President Obama
– now I’m running for Congress to continue serving my country. 
But this race won’t be easy. Experts are already calling MI-07 one of the most competitiv…

Matt Maasdam for Congress
Matt Maasdam is running for Congress to bring a different kind of leadership– one rooted in hard work, courage, and integrity. I believe in the Michigan Dream– where if you work hard, you can build a good life and get ahead.

Hey friends of the #mountains - I almost didn't make it away from my couch today morning. But as you can see, I did!
I spent a couple of hours hiking into the snow. During the ascent I was happy that I left my snow shoes at home. Yet for half an hour or an hour, I really missed them when I sometimes sank in deeper than my knees.
But it was all well manageable and I regained so …

A stunning winter alpine landscape unfolds under a brilliant blue sky, where the sun shines brightly, casting a radiant glow over the snow-covered slopes. The pristine white snow blankets the undulating terrain, creating a breathtaking contrast with the deep blue of the sky. The snow's surface is smooth and untouched, save for a few tracks left by adventurous hikers or skiers. Scattered across the slope are clusters of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, adding texture and depth t…
A moment of joy and adventure is captured in this vibrant winter scene. A hiker stands atop a snow-covered mountain slope, their face lit up with a warm smile as they take a selfie. Dressed in outdoor gear, including a bright green beanie, blue jacket, and a backpack equipped with a hydration pack, the hiker exudes a sense of preparedness and enthusiasm for the journey. The backdrop is a stunning alpine landscape, where patches of snow cling to the rugged terrain. A cluster of evergreen trees,…

Had Fun

Bought a car/micro-camper

Bought a van to do up as a micro-camper, and did a temporary rush job of that conversion myself while waiting in the list for the pro to do it.
Then the pro gave himself a health criss the week it was booked so I took apart my temp job and only got another temp kit-job in it's place.
Went out in it like four times during that and then broke my wrist and couldn't really use it or improve it.
Then had to take it apart even more to try
and figure out where the ad-blue hole was.
I will do a proper permanent job of the
floor and walls and ceiling and adjustments to the kit-job to make it the nicest it's been so far during the spring next year.
My assumption that the prior conversion
into a van and for wheelchair-access meant the microcamper conversion was half-done already turned out to be false.
If I buy a new one, it'll be one that has never been wheelchair adapted.
But it's going okay. Only scraped it once so far.
Fewer than aimed for or booked, but I broke my wrist and had to cancel the second half of the summer.
Went to a conference about money and computers and fringe decentralized social media and it wasn't as boring as you might expect and felt pretty much like a festival.
Exactly the target number! It's lovely.
Took 3 times longer than I'd hoped and
50% more money than I'd planned for really.
Still improvements to make but they will
be incremental and gradual over the coming year or two now.
It's been interest-only for 20 years so a big old lump sum payment that I never really expected to be able to make. Expected to have to sell and move at the end of the mortgage term.
But surprisingly the stocks ISA got high enough to pay it off after all, so I did that.
Cash-flow ruined by that and the bedroom but should start to feel a bit richer next year.

The headline should be: ❝AI vendor’s AI-generated analysis claims AI generated reviews for AI-generated papers at AI conference❞
To be clear, I give great credence to the claims of the humans in the article who thought they’d received an AI-generated review. I bet •they’re• correct. It’s Nature I’m coming after here.
A journalistic institution would investigate that claim, track down the reviewer in question, get to the bottom of the story. A PR outlet would just repeat some vendor’s product claims as fact and click “publish.”
Which one is Nature?
