  For the first time in a while, I heard some new rock music that was interesting. Caveat - they were covers of old songs. But I think I dig the 99x 'resurrection weekend' playing just oldies. It's always fun to hear songs from my youth that I missed when they were new. https://www.99xatl.com/player/?playerID=3413 #music #atlanta

  Cultural chauvinists are parasites, who ignore the wisdom of their claimed traditions and inhibit its further growth. “Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes angry.” "Bad men who prosper are unbearable" ― Euripides https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/interview-james-romm-since-youre-mortal-life-lessons/id1852618120?i=1000778868206 #philosophy

  PC Mag has curated a list of 'best AI image generators', and lists Grok as 'best for NSFW', apparently in all sincerity. I can't believe this is where we are as a society... https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-ai-image-generators #AI

  West-nile virus has been detected in Atlanta mosquitos. News says that cases are increasing early this year across the country (according to CDC but I cannot find source). My recollection is that it normally gets detected in mosquitos around here in late summer. Maybe all this rain has increased mosquito populations. https://www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news/west-nile-virus-detected-in-atlantas-grant-park-as-cdc-warns-of-unusually-early-mosquito-season/ #disease #publichealth #Atlanta #Georgia

  I'm always happy to have more money in my pocket, but $500 is nothing compared to spending months in a filthy, dangerous jail without being convicted of a crime. Their priority should be getting rid of the backlog in the court system and assuring that every suspect has competent legal services. The pseudo-libertarian rhetoric is painful. "“Georgians know best how to spend their money, not the government,”... and yet the government apparently knows who should be locked up withou...

  There's going to be a whole lot of music in Decatur next month... I hope they finish renovating the square without problems (and get the new stage up). June 4-7: Amplify Decatur June 11-July 19: WatchFest https://www.amplifydecatur.org/ https://decaturwatchfest26.com/ The organizers seem to think that everyone will be taking vacation for the month of the World Cup. Or that Big Boi is enough of a draw to bring visitors out here when they are not at the games. #Decatur #music #festival...

  I found a desiccated young anole in my yard last night. Now I've made a couple of little puddles in the garden. I hope that helps them. #gardening #drought #georgia

  GA District 14 special election (Greene's seat) will go to a runoff in April, with Sean Harris (37%) and Clay Fuller (35%). All together, Harris and two other Democrats got 40% of the vote. An independent and a Libertarian candidate each got 0.25%, and the rest voted for various Republicans. https://results.sos.ga.gov/results/public/Georgia/elections/March102026SpecialElection #Georgia #election

  Everyone tell your kids that Henry David Thoreau invented the term "brain rot" in 1854. There may be no lineal relationship to the modern use, but Thoreau's "Walden" apparently contains the earliest use of the term, with the same basic meaning as today. And they should know about him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_rot #history #thinking #Thoreau #education
