Everyone should have a pet ant colony because when you wake up in the morning you can look in on them and they are all always so busy trying their best to organize their little world. It's very inspiring how they are always so excited to make little piles sorting all of the objects in their space.

The carpenter ants decided to move their main trash pile a few days ago and they are just completing the project this morning. All of the debris are neatly piled in corner for me to collect.

@futurebird do you have a recommended container for keeping an any colony?

"Bottom line is that Trump didn’t know much and doesn’t even know how to learn more, and you can’t be good at the job without knowing much. That, even more than his disregard for the rule of law, made him a very dangerous president for four years, and given that there’s no evidence he’s learned anything it would make him a very dangerous president again."

~ Jonathan Bernstein

@wdlindsy Millions, perhaps billions around the world will suffer if Trump wins a second term.

I was a bit uncertain about getting a white blazer, it’s awfully flashy… but I think it works and it makes it feel like spring. This might be my new favorite outfit.

@futurebird I would have coffee and jam on that blazer in a half a millisecond. 😆

I took some glamor shots of Thor today. He is looking good for 17 and diabetic

If you've ever read about design, you've probably encountered the idea of #PavingTheDesirePath. A #DesirePath is an erosion path created by people departing from the official walkway and taking their own route. The story goes that smart campus planners don't fight the desire paths laid down by students; they pave them, formalizing the route that their constituents have voted for with their feet.

A photo of a 'desire path' - a path worn through the turf in a park where people have left the paved path and worn away the grass. The image crossfades so that the grassy lawn of the park is replaced by a 'code waterfall' as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.

@pluralistic HP printers are a bad investment if they force me to use their stupidly expensive ink.
