One of the more thoughtful pieces about the 10,000 year clock, its purpose, and one of the greatest perks of my day job: being able to sit around a campfire with some deeply interesting people. https://t.co/e1YMvpLxAA

Fuck Elon Musk and fuck keeping this app installed. Find me on bsky. Handle is kdotcdot.

Elon Musk can't help himself when it comes to tweeting, and his opinions on many matters are gross and/or deeply misguided, and thus him owning Twitter and taking all the guardrails off it has come back to bite him once again. https://t.co/kY3Oo4YwSg

@BAWSupport Just emailed ya.

@Jacobkupp Being behind the bar when these kind of people came in was always some type 2 fun.

@jpbrammer It’s the full rigged ship tattoo when he clearly has never sailed around Cape Horn, tbh.

There is no rate limit to being a bear because I do not know what that is. I am a bear.

Cormac McCarthy has died at the age of 89.

In 2012, we detailed what we learned from the Cormac McCarthy Papers. The archives gave us a unique look inside the working method of an artist who spoke little about his own work. https://t.co/ZDydeK5LcA

Talk shit about the “decline” of San Francisco all you want but the vibes of taking a day off and enjoying a pint at Zeitgeist on a sunny Monday are still unbeatable and unchanged after 20 years.

[KC @KdotCdot]

@funranium Aw man. Sending you all the love.

[KC @KdotCdot]

@JustPlainElle Nightmare how? I’m interested but I guess I don’t know much about it.

@punished3liza It can be handy! Although my favorite certification I hold is still “able seaman - special” because it sounds mildly dirty.

Sam Altman says he wants to be regulated—and he wants you to believe AI could destroy the world. We're in the middle of a hype cycle. Here's why you should be skeptical about the entire conversation

[KC @KdotCdot]

@morehissing Yay! That seems like a relatively fast turnaround.

Quit my job and bought a hot tub, let's get this period of personal reflection going baaaaaybeeee

@violetblue @jwz @dnalounge Dang! I am just catching up - didn't realize you were moving so far. You've always got a guest room here in Oakland when you want to come hang out.

[KC @KdotCdot]

I regret to inform you that I am absolutely back on my (boat) bullshit.

[KC @KdotCdot]

@jefposk @peterhartlaub @rachelswan @marilyn4alameda Yeah! A friend used to drive that ferry. I get that ferries are different than good bike infrastructure from the jump, but it seems like such a clear solution for the estuary. I just don’t get the hostility I’ve seen from the bike folks towards sailors at these meetings.
