Nice day in the #OakWoodlands of Golden Gate Park where along with oaks I saw bush monkeyflower, California sagebrush, hummingbird sage, coast buckwheat, beach strawberry, common yarrow, Hooker's evening primrose, and even a little rooreh by the path.

Various shrubs and herbs, including bush monkeyflower, also known as sticky monkeyflower, with its characteristic light-orange trumpet-like flowers, said to resemble a monkey's face. In the foreground, an herb, coast buckwheat, with white flower clusters, and deep green leaves belonging to coast strawberry creep down a small stone.
Hooker's evening primrose plants, tall herbs with big yellow flowers. Oaks behind them.
Common yarrow (herb with white flower clusters), orange California poppies that have closed up for the evening, and a hummingbird sage next to the poppies. The area is mulched and has teal flags to indicate plantings.
Rooreh, also called miner's lettuce, a small stout plant with wide leaves shaped like satellite dishes, to the left of a wooden step on a trail.

Scott Pelley, a veteran 60 Minutes correspondent,
called out CBS News management in a heated meeting on Monday morning,
attacking the network’s decision on Thursday to fire the show’s executive producer, executive editor, and two fellow correspondents, Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega,
as part of a broader overhaul of the show, sources tell the Guardian.
During a meeting of the show’s staff and Nick Bilton, its newly appointed executive producer,
along with the C…

This is a Pioneer Stereo Receiver SX-850 from just about 50 years ago.
It’s not spying on you.
It doesn’t need firmware updates.
There’s no subscription.
It’s widely compatible with other audio equipment from other manufacturers.
It won’t suddenly decide you can’t listen to explicit lyrics anymore.
It won’t “autocorrect” you, interrupt you with notifications or get hijacked by a botnet.
If a component breaks, it’s pretty easy fixable, even by amateurs.
It still works great, sounds great and looks great and it will probably do so for another 50 years. It’s a piece of useful electronics that you can hand down for literally generations.
Can you do this with modern technology?
Why is modern technology considered “better”?

While I wouldn't support all the Spanish government's economic policies, given that like everywhere else, they are GDP growth oriented, it is interesting to see how unemployment, including youth unemployment, in all sectors, keeps falling. And it's not done by limiting workers' rights

Der Widerstand gegen die maßlosen Rechenzentren wächst weltweit. Sie sind oft wie ein Turbo der obzönen Umweltzerstörung, vorangetrieben von offensichtlich seelenlosen Menschen, die keine Skrupel haben, die Welt verbrennen zu sehen. Nach mir die Sinnflut (oder Dürre) ist hier nicht nur biblisch zu verstehen.
Widerstand gegen Rechenzentren kann sich aber lohnen, so ein Beispiel aus Chile:

“We saw a state apparatus completely subordinated to corporate interests”
As India races to build AI-ready data centres, Chile’s Cerrillos community offers a stark warning. MOSACAT’s fight against Google’s project exposes water risks, weak environmental regulation and a state apparatus subordinated to corporate interests—raising urgent questions for India’s data centre and AI infrastructure ambitions.

Mary Trump pointed to Alex Vindman's history of confronting the president directly.
The candidate, a retired Army officer,
"has stood up to my uncle before,
and he's ready to do it again in the United States Senate," she wrote,
referencing Vindman's role as a key figure in Trump's first impeachment.
She closed by casting the contest as a chance to
"hold the Trump administration accountable"
— a phrase that, coming…

Happy 4th anniversary of Van Ness BRT opening!
Who else was there with me? Remember all the crowds that rode the official first bus on April 1, 2022?

Huge crowd of people packed on the sidewalk and street in front of the War Memorial Opera House, a Roman style building in San Francisco, on a clear day. Everyone is facing away from the camera.
A person with glasses and long hair, wearing an N95 mask and a black baseball cap featuring line art of San Francisco, looks at the camera inside a crowded bus.
A smallish crowd is on the sidewalk of a highway with a tree-planted median, and in the street are two Muni buses with Muni's red and gray livery, their headsigns reading, "BRT, Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit."
A Muni bus with its headsign reading "49 Van Ness/Mission, City College" stops at a bus stop in one of two center-running bus lanes painted red.

Now, inevitably, half of my Bluesky timeline is like:
oh, we need a service that’s resistant to this sort of shit,
something that’s not beholden to capitalist pressure,
something that’s queer-friendly and furry-friendly
-- quickly followed by "but don’t say Mastodon!"
Sorry, I’m saying it.
Mastodon. We want fucking Mastodon.
It’s run by an actual non-profit foundation,
none of this “public benefit corporation” bullshit.
It’s not s…

Look, just fucking use Mastodon already
A short, unnecessarily profane rant about modern social media, not really serious but not really a joke, either. With apologies to McSweeney’s.

I’ll be talking about the very serious helium shortage that is looming
(actually, it’s already upon us)
and risks crippling semiconductor chip production and diagnostic instruments like MRI scanners,
not to mention low temperature science..
It’s maddening because we’ve known that helium is very limited but it’s cheap
so no one recovers it.
It’ll be on BBC World Service Newshour around 13:45 BST.
