Even though I don’t condone ai theft, *every use* of the internet costs water.

Every hour of 4k video you watch uses 10-20 liters of water. It doesn’t matter what service.

Browsing Instagram or Facebook is 2-4 liters per hour. Much more for streaming video again like tiktok or reels.

For me, it was another reason to ditch all social media except bluesky, discord, and my online blog. Meta, Twitter and tiktok just is a time and resource thief with very little return on my investment.

Me, personally, it was burning hours per day, and all it did was make me angry or sad. Places like here make me mostly happy, and that is worth it.

Day 20,507

Daily doodle. I don’t know why I prefer my lake creatures to have giant eye(s), but I do.

I learned from my Icelandic friend this morning that the “war” in warlock is unrelated to the word “war,” but that it means “pledge” or “oath.”  So a warlock is an oath-lock, or oath-bound.  But also, this old Germanic word, *waera*, which is the source for both, became negative in English, connected to heathenry, while in modern Icelandic, *væra* means “innocent” or “cuddly,” so “cuddle-lock” or, as he put it, “the Snugglebound.”

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

Come on Democrats.

The Secretary of Defense was drunk texting plans of a highly classified military operation.

Get on tv. Call it treason.

Demand a criminal investigation. Call for resignations. And when they cover it up, Call for the public to support impeachment.

This is a slam dunk

3 years ago today, Pearl first visited with us as catsitters.

It was a setup! We adopted her less than a week later.

A few frozen moments with Pearl, my Lil Maniac.

Getting a fresh dryer tomorrow, as replacing the heating element in the nearly 20 year old one would cost nearly as much as the new one we have picked out including delivery, install and hauling away the old steel carcass.
