One of my co-workers is a crow. He shows up a couple of times a week, to knock on my office window and scream at me. I'm pretty sure he's an efficiency director.
Today I decided to appease my co-worker and leave mixed nuts on the windowsill. He showed up, screamed until the other efficiency director came, both ate the nuts, then paraded back and forth in front of my window, berating me for wasting time leaving nuts when I should have been working. Fine, be that way.
But I'll do it again. #Birds
On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter reconnaissance for an attack on an alleged North Vietnamese-controlled village at My Lai.
As the ground attack developed below, Thompson realised he was in fact witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. /1 π§΅ #history #histodons
Apple's choice to distinguish an incoming Facetime call from a regular voice call by displaying a full-screen video preview on your phone's screen is actually a pretty smart #ux decision.
Speaking as someone who just narrowly avoided blindly clicking the "Accept Call" button and flashing my elderly mother, I appreciate it.
#Newsom wants to transform #SanQuentin using Scandinavian model
βWhatβs envisioned for San Quentin is on a different scale. The choice of this #prison is a statement by Newsom about justice reform & about #California β w potential not only to change what it means to serve time, but also to create a pathway to safer communities that our current system has failed to deliverβ
@drfunkybutt I donβt think itβs against mastodon etiquette to recommend people to follow.
All that youβre doing is telling people about another person whose content they may enjoy while simultaneously letting the content creator know that you like what theyβre doing.
It seems like a nice thing to do, as long as the intentions are genuine.

Oh, nothing to see here... Rosa Parks in one proposed FL social studies textbook reduced to a lady who "showed courage" and "rode the bus." With no mention of race or racism in the encounter. This is how fear is destroying public ed in FL. #EdScare Http://nyti.ms/3YUGFlj

One of my own (very minor) creations. Nearly everyone who has seen it has called it dark, but I see the open door, with light spilling out. #DigitalArt
@ScottSoCal another book series that really understands the media, PR and behind the scenes machinations for big alien questions is the Not Alone series by Craig Falconer.

Neo-nazis (yes, with an actual Nazi flag) brought guns to a drag show. The local sherriff's office cited the bar for serving one underage person, stalked performers to their homes, and is now evicting the bar. They were fine with the armed Nazis.
I just deleted my bird account. I am equal parts sad for what Iβve left behind and excited for what lies ahead.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
