! Oregon Trail mention !

Dunk on silly settler-colonials lugging all that junk across Turtle Island and risking their lives instead of learning how people have lived there for tens of thousands of years without constantly drowning and dying of dysentery.

Note: apparently there's some good ol' ad/malware you can 'install' when installing it... I run linux and play it through Steam so I've never encountered it, but just so youses noses.

    Tenants from the Myron Manor Collective and their supporters showed up in force to a July 16 city council hearing regarding a rezoning application that threatens to turn their homes into an Airbnb-style “tech hotel”. Over 300 tenants and supporters signed up to speak at the hearing. “We know that this [city] council is not on our side and we know that even the ones who claim to be on our side…

    oh oh oh now you hide behind the other corner and peak out every few seconds or so as they 'sneak' up on you. It's like red light:green light except with (hopefully) pretend murder at the end.

    Woke up too early and decided to look for free lectures on plant physiology, which I found from Cornell! They're 13 years old though, but that's fine.

    Orcas are known to be smart and ruthless hunters. They've been observed hunting a variety of prey, with some species, such as whales, larger than themselves. They use a wide range of strategies to hunt and kill prey, but now, in the Gulf of California, researchers have observed one that hasn't been described before.

    There are three large wildfires in the interior that may be contributing, but I'm not too sure why it's suddenly so bad for the week. Usually you'd see that the wind is blowing all the smoke south and west towards us, but I don't see anything like that on the map. Probably just the good ol' heat dome. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Windy doesn't have a graph but most other services with an air quality index either don't have a forecast or don't use the World Health Organizations guidelines, apparently relying on national guidelines (Canada doesn't seem to weigh pm2.5 as heavily in their forecasts). Check out Breezy Weather and compare with government forecasts to see what I'm talking about.

    Try to reduce outdoor activities, and wear a K/N95 or P100 mask if you have to go outside and look into purchasing an active air filter for you home if you are able. So far, Tuesday night will be the worst, getting up to 156 by 11pm. Will update this post with the forecast. o7

    *Will be better by Thursday night, ~8pm

    After eating hot pot, my son took the photo. He asked if he could draw like this. Oh, I said give it a try.

    *I really don't think it's generated. I do think most people don't know what a quick and dirty digital sketch ends up looking like. Not that I can convince anyone that it's not ai after they've already decided it is. No matter, I'll just let them not enjoy artwork simply because ai exists. xP

     

    *First panel - Alien 1 is talking to Alien 2 which is sitting at a table

    Alien 1: The creature we love has destroyed an object we enjoyed.

    Alien 2: Are we certain? [turning back and frowning]

    *Next panel - a medium size red dog with three eyes and fluff in it's mouth surrounded by more fluff and a tail of what was once a plushy

    Alien 2: The misconduct is ongoing.

    *Next panel - closer view of the dog with fluff in it's mouth

    Alien 1: At least the creature is contrite [it is showing that it is apparently sorry]

    *Last panel - The dog has dropped the fluff, is smiling and wagging their tail.

    Alien 2: The joy was concealed.

    Alien 1: There is no contrition.
