Adobe can you pack more popups into my day please

This would be a great upset. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/10/11/m...

Sure wish #vermont would stop subsidizing industrial logging

There is so much I don’t understand about these people, but their extreme disfigurement for the dear leader is probably the hardest thing for me to get my mind around

E.W. Scripps — which owns 60 TV stations, including network affiliates — will eliminate 500+ jobs this year in favor of "‘AI-powered broadcast journalism." Dystopian moves like this —and the FCC killing the ownership cap — will end genuine, local voices in TV news. www.thewrap.com/industry-new...

A new poll from the reliable University of New Hampshire Survey Center shows Amanda Janoo with a narrow lead over Gov. Phil Scott. Yes, way. thevpo.org/2026/09/25/i...

Stunning poll numbers! Are Vermonters finally willing to admit that Uncle Phil is an empty suit?

This is why my eyes explode whenever someone says “we” are going to win in November. I want nothing to do with this fucking version of “we.”

Vermont is never going to understand that burning biomass is toxic and will not save the dying logging industry www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...

Just drove back from an appointment. Sunny day in Vermont with the leaves changing color. Chicago Transit Authority on the radio. Almost felt contentment for a moment there. 🍁

This is why Extinction Rebellion called for disrupting business as usual, but you just wouldn't listen

This Age of Impunity we're living in is not playing out only at the government and oligarch levels. I see it every day now at the grunt level, as self-interested idiots "work fast and break stuff" to get a leg up at the office. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-the-a...

It's amazing to watch as previously normal people, coworkers, catch AI fever and turn into elbow-throwing, break-shit-fix-it-later assholes. It's like half the white collar population was just waiting for an excuse to do awful work and then demand praise for it

Around noon that day I was on the road in northern MN when a crop-duster plane flew right overhead (airspace was already closed) and my cheeks instinctively tightened

My noisy little town was so quiet there that I started to wonder if Today Was The Day It Happened

33 to go; not canned yet

Yes!

Apropos of nothing but here’s a photo I took of an East German watchtower on the Saxony-Anhalt border

For some reason I just remembered being in Italy and seeing a guy with a tshirt that said, in enormous letters, “Fuck It, I Love Gym” Why???

Drawing paychecks from an AI-frothy employer by day Resisting AI data center development by night This is not how I expected my career to wind down

Today was the day of my company’s annual anonymous employee satisfaction survey and ohhhmygawd it has never felt better to give feedback

It's September 1, which the MSM has reminded me a bazillion times already is the first day of the 11 Days of 9/11. Can we just skip to 9/12 please?

post something random or you’ll have a awful September

Screw you Vermont trees. Not yet

Wow, EU really showing up for Nepal with that staggering €2m donation

I propose FedEx Field in the east and Oakland Coliseum in the west to house ICE criminals while they await trial and sentencing. Nothing but the worst open-air experience for them.

I’ve had two eye surgeries this summer and as a result have been reduced to a homebound complaining bag of goo. Now that I’m starting to feel better, I’m getting ready to rip shit up this fall. I need action ideas.

There are days when the depth of the rot is so apparent that it feels impossible to imagine us ever getting out of it

I believe having 60 people each do a reply-all to an email is the pinnacle of community

On any given day, you can jack off with your lawnmowers, weedwhackers, edgers, leafblowers, chainsaws, logging trucks, coal rollers, snowblowers, and snowplows, but sure, *I* am the asshole when I flip you the double bird for ruining the quiet

It really hurts to read this. Don’t Look Up came out in my most active climate resistance (as in, do stuff that can get you arrested) period. It was exciting to see a motion picture about climate change… but now it feels like the efforts we all expended were for naught. Sorry for the doomerism.

Contemplating diving into the AI battle at work. Is it worth fighting the bros who are destroying my four decades of experience in technical content development? Or should I skulk in a dark corner until the pink slip inevitably comes?

Tramp the dirt down

Is it possible that Vermont is finally going to have a July 10 without flooding?

They shut down main street for a July 4 parade here in my small Vermont town. Until the parade kicks in, there’s no traffic noise - no big trucks, no revving motorcycles. For an hour a year, it’s bliss.

Where is the Louvre when we need it so badly

When you have a medical procedure that is so retch-worthy the google safesearch photos are masked It me today (retina detachment)

My eye doctor says my vitreous humor is really good but nobody laughs at my jokes

First day at the office after two weeks off *Sits down at desk, cracks knuckles* ok, back to it “Windows is updating, please wait”

Appropriate juxtaposition of posts

European airports: mandatory pre- and post-entry passport scanners, photographs, and fingerprinting Canadian airports: more pre-entry passport scanners and photographs US border control gateway: “We have a new thing now, crane your neck out the car window and look into my wired Logitech camera”
