It's normal to sit up and take notice when someone you hardly know and who is in a position of authority baselessly accuses you of doing something dishonest or unethical, because it's hard to shake the notion that the bad thing you're being accused of is something they are already well acquainted with.
Early in my solo career, I spent a lot of time talking to businessmen in Russia, who invariably would at some point accuse me of taking bribes to write unflattering things about them or their businesses. I soon learned that those individuals were accustomed to paying journalists in their country to write unflattering stories about others.
This reminds me of behavior in various state and federal GOP efforts to "secure" the vote, which has led to a flood of state proposals that effectively make it harder for people to vote, register, or have their vote count. "We can't let them steal this election again" is the refrain, even though it was never stolen in the first place. But it might very well be this time.

New #running shoes. My vote of confidence in myself, that I'll be able to run regularly again. It's been on and off for the past couple of years, but it looks like I got better at managing my various pains.
Never used any Altra shoes before, but so far they feel nice, thin and light, not getting in the way.

Hyperloop has only one sensible use case: if you've already built a city on Mars and need to move workers out to peripheral installations. Small-diameter tunnels are cheaper, the near-vacuum comes for free, and you want to minimize surface exposure time (to avoid high energy cosmic radiation).
On Earth it's a stupid idea that Dilbert Stark only promoted as a spoiler for high speed rail, which he saw as a threat to his electric toy cars.

Meanwhile, I have a deep need. :blob_heart_eyes:
I can't believe this is a toy that was sold and that it's so beautiful and such a weird shape, and apparently you can still find original ones that work? To sew with?? What a fantastic fucking apparatus, truly.
Here's the original ad and then a random auction photo, I typed in the entire text in the alt text if you need it to read it!

- An illustration and a photo of the same circle shaped sewing machine from a 1902 magazine and sometime in the digital age. The mechanism has been fit into and within the circular tube of the structure, with the sewing plate in the middle. Both beautiful and bizarre! The text: "Triumph Toy Sewing Machine. No. 29R177. A first class machine that will sew perfectly. It has the latest patent feed motion, a perfect stitch regulator, uses the Wilcox & Gibbs self setting needle which has a short blade shank and is not easily broken. On account of the simple devices embodied in its construction it runs lighter and quieter than any machine made. It is fastened to the table with a clamp furnished with each machine. Elegantly enameled and finished in flower designs. Suitable for the little miss, for the nursery maid, for all kinds of plain family sewing and is adapted largely for kindergarten use. Each machine is packed in a separate box with an extra needle and clamp, thoroughly tested and adjusted, and is sent out with a sample of sewing done on it, showing it leaves the factory in perfect working order. Height, 7½ inches; width 6½ inches. Price, each: $1.25. Shipping weight, 23 ounces." (remote)

I am 68 trillion microorganisms in a trench coat which results in a sort of self-propelling, self-replicating digestion tube, but I am paid to act as if I am a clean, rational, thinking machine!
This is very stressful for all 68 trillion of us, so sometimes we complain about it on the internet.

I've had a background thought thread running for over a year now that focuses on dissecting our interactions with the software we build and use, for ourselves and to share with each other, and how much it's shaped by the goals of commercial entities that are in direct opposition to what would be most useful/pleasant/effective for us as people. I'm trying to keep that thought thread as close to foreground as I can whilst I build new software for our various social enterprises so the thoughts can inform my decision making as I build.
