You youngsters take it for granted, but it was fiendishly difficult to get angry at strangers before the invention of the internet

They hunt us. We feed you. Did you eat today?

Nos cazan. Te alimentamos. ¿Comiste hoy?

@vwbusguy They’ll deny it, but a lot of the things the MAGA crowd say sound very much like what a white supremacist would say.

Building on what @GeePawHill mentioned yesterday. I don’t think I’ve seen a “riot” with the trailer tractor portable stage driving the mariachi band down Olvera Street.

Don’t let them shift the narrative; don’t let the “anarchists” (armchair or otherwise) or the antagonists make it seem as if the people as a whole are violent. #LosAngeles will be fine.

@andrewbriscoe @intrepidhero Thanks for the positivity and encouragement on this climb!

I had an amazing and life-changing day with @tsupasat and @intrepidhero climbing Mount Adams on Sunday. Everything about the trip was an exciting challenge from the treacherous road to the endless ascent and the 2,000 FT almost continuous glissade. I really didn’t think we would make it with the temperatures in the valley below rising close to 100 F but the snow was mostly firm until we reached the summit.

Chinese tech companies have temporarily disabled features of popular AI chatbots such as image recognition to prevent student from cheating in the annual nationwide college entrance exams.

We are in a transitional period where AI has broken our usual measures of evaluating intellectual comptence.

Today I found out that the Merlin Bird ID app (my favorite app, btw) is hiring a Product Designer (Mobile Apps). This is not my wheelhouse but I’m hoping my wider network knows someone!! Merlin is great, and as a Cornell alum, I can say the company is great too ❤️

I was driving through Klicitat County over the weekend and saw the most stunning forest. It was Ponderosa Pine and Garry Oak (Oregon White Oak), with some Douglas Fir here and there.

I observed it on Highway 97 coming down out of the Simcoe Mountains from Yakima to Goldendale. The most dramatic views were where the highway went along the side of a river canyon and you could see these beautiful trees just cover the rocky hillsides.

Below are some photos I took of nice specimens along the road, but they really don't do it justice.

I became interested in Garry Oak when I learned it's the only oak native to the Pacific Northwest and planted a few young ones around my house.

@drdirtbag @intrepidhero @andrewbriscoe @drdirtbag @intrepidhero @andrewbriscoe I was very curious to see the building as well. Here's what I could see of the structure on the summit of Mt Adams. The wood's actually not in too bad of shape. I can't believe they lugged all the materials up there! I'm tired just thinking about it!

Got #mountainmonday? You betcha! Here's a photo dump from a truly epic day on Pahto (Mt Adams) with @tsupasat and @andrewbriscoe

Despite absurdly warm conditions the snow was pretty great. Firm in the morning and perfect for glissading on the way down.

Remember when the Internet was awesome and your phone wasn't a tracking device?

Which is your preferred New York City Airport?

And yes, I know this is like asking which is your preferred way to get punched in the face.

"It's hot out" is relative. Case in point, we have a heat advisory in the Seattle area. It's going to be in the 80s this weekend. #pnw

In ancient Athens, once a year citizens could decide to send someone into exile for 10 years without charge or trial. The person would be chosen through a blind vote. It was meant to protect against dictators and other people who were dangerous to society.

Kind of wishing we had that today.

Nice morning light in the woods on today's hike through one of our local parks. If you're allergic to the color green this place will give you hives. #Hiking #GetOutside #AltText

@chrissanders88 At Dropzone AI, the most valuable players are our security engineers on staff.

Something I missed yesterday was that the State Department has offered a $10mil reward for the RedLine infostealer developer

The most interesting part is that the US believes he acted "at the direction or under the control of a foreign government."
