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. noemamag.com/keeping-time-i…

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. sfist.com/2023/11/17/elo…

Would anyone be willing to deliver our tee shirts across the Bay today?
Oakland > SF
There's a shirt in it for you!

@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.

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. slate.trib.al/Gev8BWD

I’m glad I got one last good snuggle before I got on the plane to Spain.

@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.
English
@KdotCdot it would unironically whip to have OSHA certification
English
ive always been curious, what are some professional certifications you can get JUST by taking a test? no work hours or schooling required but literally walk in, take the test, walk out

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
ABC News Live@ABCNewsLive
Open A.I. CEO Sam Altman is testifying as lawmakers grapple with this intelligence: @jayobtv: "He wants their help to regulate this technology." @thomasgermain: we haven't seen A.I "capable of replacing human critical thinking...I don't think it's quite time to panic, yet."

@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.
English
All packed, loading container tomorrow. Managed not to cry saying goodbye *for now* to friends. I'll cry later (pandemic motto).
The now: in SFO hotel paid with points, got comfort noms boozy ice cream; @jwz @dnalounge mixtape #223 on TV while I work on tomorrow's roundup ☺️

@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.

@KdotCdot @peterhartlaub @rachelswan @marilyn4alameda I first started talking about multiple mini-ferries for the Treasure Island - SF run, instead of the $billion bike lane. A year ago we did get one mini-ferry there.
English
This @rachelswan reporting gets deep into the complex Alameda/Oakland bike bridge debate.
I’m in the “I support it but seems like a huge longshot” camp (the Coast Guard is such a huge hurdle) but greatly appreciate what a strong bike advocate we have in @marilyn4alameda.

A movable bicycle and pedestrian bridge that would cost at least $200 million to build has stirred controversy in this Bay Area city. If the politics are tense, the logistics are just as daunting. trib.al/buKvidT
