I've been around since the days of usenet (met my husband there, our kids are now in their 20s). Most of my public writing is under my own name on Quora, or elsewhere under someone else's byline.

Föderation EN Sa 22.02.2025 05:03:09 This is a picture of the joint chiefs as of this morning, Feb 21, 2025. Two of them were fired three hours ago. Anyone want to guess which two? [If you need a hint, it's in the alt text] |

Föderation EN Fr 21.02.2025 04:48:35 WSJ reporting on Elon forcing companies to advertise on X lest he block their mergers "A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call in December from a lawyer at X. The message was clear, according to several people with knowledge of the conversation: Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." Obviously it's extortion, but could this be the most effective antitrust measure we've seen since Lina Khan?

Föderation EN Mi 22.01.2025 19:43:14 My friend Derek Tearne caught the tail end of Atlas Comet last night in Aotearoa New Zealand. He'd moved to a rural area four years ago to indulge his astrophotography hobby and it's certainly paid off. But geez, as spectacular as the comet is, it's almost overshadowed by the satellites. I wonder if his hobby is, like the comet, at the tail end of its life.

Föderation EN Mi 20.11.2024 20:53:07 Since Calvin and Hobbes are popular right now, please know that the entire archive is available online, searchable, for free. This includes ALL the strips, including some that didn't make it into the various anthologies: https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes And if you are insistent on using alt text but are (like me) sometimes not motivated to type out the dialogue, there's even a 'transcript' button in the three-dot submenu. It's short on describing images, but it's thorough on the text.

Föderation EN Di 17.09.2024 04:30:55 Found on FB with the following text: "While I was trying to photograph the Northern Lights in the wee hours of the morning, my cat decided to photobomb the picture. Since I had the camera’s shutter speed maxed out, it ended up leaving a sort of ghostly image of my cat in the photo. Photographer: Kristie Kohn

Föderation EN Fr 23.12.2022 18:40:07 The holidays can be a really tough time. The advice I often heard was, "Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Help others. Get out of your head." It's perfectly fine advice, but unhelpful if the mere thought of interacting with people is overwhelming. Anyway, here's a thing I did one year that did help: I bought a Cookie Monster costume, went to the airport, and waited at arrivals with a sign that said "COOKIE" Didn't have to talk to anyone and boy did I get to watch people's faces light up.
