A post by Richie Bree with the text "Torpedos must be the only pedos the U.S government are willing to fire," overlaid on an image of a torpedo hitting a ship, causing a large explosion and splash in the ocean.

White House Press Secretary says “No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did.”

Well gee, way to drag your feet telling us. >24 hours when you have almost instant news dissemination available?

Just the picture of competence 🙄 […]

I just wrote this to my Senators about DHS/ICE/CBP needing firm, engineering, restraints.

You can read it and maybe write yours too.

Sonnet 027 - XXVII
Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head
To work my mind, when body's work's expired:
For then my thoughts--from far where I abide--
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping […]

Sonnet 005 - V
Those hours, that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel;
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there;
Sap checked with frost, and […]

Does he mean he will go to war with the country he went to war with like 10 days ago if they do something he doesn’t like?

Such threatening, much scary.

I wonder if the congressional delegation from Michigan might be able to do more than merely observe things as they happen…

(This Senator from Michigan seems remarkably passive.)

Rumor that SAG-AFTRA is seeking expanding their control of automation, which is a good thing. Here’s why/how from the last negotiations: https://stuff.davidaugust.com/dominion-over-the-machines/

Really glad the US just decommissioned the four mine sweepers we’d had covering the Strait of Hormuz, and glad we live in such a peaceful world that we no longer need them there as they had been for the last 35 years. Phew […]

Had an #acting #coaching client play the same scene with two opposite reactions to the other character, as a rehearsal technique. It revealed how flexible the material is and also which parts lend themselves most to which reaction. A good exploration that clarified the character's arc […]

Then there is your buoyancy in the atmosphere. You move air aside with the space you take up, and so the rest of the air around you pushes you up with the same force that the displaced air weighs.

Like any object that displaces a fluid the object is immersed in, the fluid pushes the object (in […]

Air density changes so little for say a walk up stairs, that the air pushing up on you (your buoyancy) is also tiny, but larger than the mass increase from increasing potential energy and smaller than the weight decrease from being further from the center of the earth.

Then there is a fourth […]

Then there is a fifth change: the mass lost by exhaling the carbon dioxide and moisture walking up the stairs.

So you gain mass a little by increasing gravitational potential energy, but you lose more mass than that by using chemical energy to move, but you gain more weight than that because […]

Working with an #acting #coaching client and had them try a rehearsal technique that was new to them on one of the later takes. Suddenly, the emotional distance between them and the other character changed, a vulnerability emerged and it was beautiful to see. We may keep parts for performance […]
