Last Notes npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino We took the kids by the MLK memorial in sf today and came upon this quote, which I hadn’t seen before npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino when I was teaching myself python I tried to model how humanity would compete with zombies over time, given that humans can reproduce and zombies can’t, but humans can die and zombies can’t unless killed. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Being a parent watching your kids grow feels like being given these incredible gifts day after day, and simultaneously suffering these small but irrevocable losses npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino me too! And I love that this one is “competitive” in the absolute loosest sense of the word haha. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino that’s so good to hear. My purest comfort show is the one he and Amy poehler did about crafting things. Just pure good heartedness. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino honestly I feel like I have way too much emotionally riding on nick offerman being as good a guy as he seems…so envious you got that experience! npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino but give it to me every hour, forty hours every week, that’s enough for me to be living like a king! npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Masculinity is using your big man voice to yell “back door!” So the bus driver actually pays attention to the lady trying to get off. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino As a data scientist I feel it is my duty to inform you all that data are the fucking worst npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I know these roses are absolutely out of control but I can’t help but love their exuberance npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I can’t quite express how jarring it is to read tevye the dairyman w my non-Jewish colleagues. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I am so sorry. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino “If you give ppl UBI, everyone’s just going to be making pots or painting or something!” npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino don’t put this on us!! We liked the early sunrise! Now we’re stuck getting up in the dark again. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I remember reading it and being like “how did this ever make it into the canon of US literature?!” npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Me me me me me! I’ll take all the cheese. I want it coming out my pores. I want my children to flee from me. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino https://youtu.be/JFwutRYCa68?si=NwKVOyNO-o9fejHw npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino there’s something about the guy with his groceries just sprinting towards the danger that really gets me. Like, he was just going about his day but he’s gonna stop what he’s doing and run towards armed goons with no protection for himself. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Just a really timely reminder for me from my kids preschool npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I truly love writing alt text, maybe particularly when it forces me to confront how little I know about the world around me. Like, ok this is a picture of a rock. It is…brown? There are things growing on it. They are…plants? lol I’m really sorry for the people reading them but listen, yall will know what I know. As little as that may be. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Everyone saying how bad Maduro is: you’re not wrong. But the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq were also premised on how awful their leaders were. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I really appreciate how “the call is coming from inside the house” has acquired the idiomatic heft of, like, “heavy is the head that wears the crown” npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Ok all, my step parents insist they don’t want things and like when I donate in their names. What are nonprofits that need some extra love (I know that’s literally all of them but humor me). They’re old hippies who care about unions, nature, children, human rights. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino How you know your 5yo watches too many nature documentaries: npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I have developed a fool proof system to not forget clothes in the washer at night npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino yachts should just be illegal. Only like twelve people in the world would have a problem with this. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino RE: https://mstdn.social/@amydiehl/115559912303310444 npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Do any of you beautiful #climate nerds have thoughts on this giant co2 bubble battery? Seems cool, but I’m kind of freaked out at it having a massive leak and suffocating everyone nearby. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino The scariest part of Halloween night is trying to put kids to sleep after they’ve embodied dragons and gorged on skittles all night npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino “Can fish close their eyes?” Asks my 5yo. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino “today I arrested a woman playing a clarinet in a banana costume” just cannot possibly make you look or feel tough npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I think they should put their money where their mouth is cause right now they’re gambling with our carbon budget. So if we’re not decarbonized in, say, 10 years, their AI gamble was a bust. And they should promise to pay for ALL the harm caused. If they’re so confident, shouldn’t be hard to make that promise. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino The masks are shocking to all of us. As is the fact that they will not give their name and badge number when asked. California passed a law they cannot wear masks but it’s likely unenforceable. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino You think ppl should be resisting differently? Got a great idea of how? Great! Get organizing! npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino My 5yo asked me where the rain comes from. So I told him theres water in clouds and when it falls to earth, that’s rain. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino There are some caterpillars weaving gross homes into the lemon blossoms and leaves on my tree. I kind of just picked them out and tried to undo their webs so that hopefully I can get some lemons. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Well npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Sometimes I wonder how funds would get distributed if instead of passing laws funding different things, everyone got a tax bill of some % of their wealth/income and a menu of where they want it to go. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Sooooo I think at this point it’s actually cheaper for me to just rent videos at the store than deal with all these streaming services. We’ve really come full circle here. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino red tailed hawks. Partly because they’re beautiful but also they just remind me of home (even though they live all over) npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Ok an ethics / mores question for #gardening mastodon: npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I just keep thinking, is this really what freedom looks like to people? This isn’t what freedom looks like to me. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino do you know of other artists doing protest music like this? npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino god I love him. I wish he was on here!! npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Some potatoes started trying to grow in my kitchen so I figure I might as well try out growing them. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I think chatbots should not be allowed to speak in first person singular at all. I’m actually really curious if it would act less creepy if it was predicting the end of a sentence like “the model infers” rather than “I think”. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino that young infants should sleep alone on their backs in a crib. I just really think in the near future ppl will think that was inhumane to all involved and the move will be safe co-sleeping. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino It’s pretty remarkable to me how much the ideas of Always Coming Home by leGuin keep pulling at my consciousness, given that I was pretty ambivalent about whether I liked the book. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino I had a very productive week and now I would like to melt into the earth thank you npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino it’s boggling my mind so much I forgot the word “washing machine” 🤣 npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino at least socks leave the house. They go out. They go to the clothes washer. Where do forks go? How can they be lost in transit?? npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino Something is happening to my forks. We used to have a normal number of forks. Now we have 4 forks. And all of the baby forks have disappeared. npub1mt6pvx2xme7chzruwnzfdwn3qjqcrchjmq9z759frsdwj6c49r2q4k4ah6 MinmiTheDino haha I have two young children who could really really contribute to this effort.
