#tuscon — Public Fediverse posts

In the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. warships menace Iran's oil tankers. But in Tucson, Arizona, they are getting ready to welcome the Iranian soccer team as if nothing were amiss. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/05/17/soccer/iran-world-cup-arizona/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #soccer #2026fifaworldcup #iran #arizona #tuscon #donaldtrump #unitedstates #fifa

Poor Kimchi. He looks like how we all feel right now with the state of the world :(

(btw, he's up for adoption in Tuscon: https://24petconnect.com/DetailsMain/PIMA/A891114)

A typically provocative #npr headline, not. It is black gloves they are testing. Some Cox or ATnT tech is as likely to get a knock as the perpetrators...

Seriously if you use black gloves and live in #Tuscon where the wind blows, you are at risk of prosecution. If it were a brown girl missing, different story. This is a rich white celebrity family here, *someone* has to pay. Of course I hope they get it right! But also, national resources that most fams don't get.

I went to two other cons this year, #Bubonicon and #ArmadilloCon and we had a much better time. Attendance was higher for each. I don' have numbers but I'd say 400-500 for both.

I'm not using #TusCon as a hashtag because too many people spell #Tucson wrong. So I'll use #Tucson52 to ID the specific con.

The only thing they didn't have that TusCon did was filk. My wife is a huge filker. I'm not and that's a big draw for her.

The filk guests of honor, Jeff and Maya Bonhoff were great.

“Reconciliation ecology,” a term coined in 2003, aims to increase #biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes. Think of it as #conservation for the Anthropocene.

From your article:

> The only area where this investment retrenchment and uncertainty is not in evidence comes from the insane capital expenditures for AI computing power, which is propping up the economy almost by itself.

@brianmerchant had a great appearance on KQED's Forum.

They discussed, among other things, that aspect of things, the potential bubble in which the US economy is being propped up by all of that capital flowing into data centers.

Meanwhile, the good people over at It Could Happen Here dive into successful efforts by #noDesertDataCenter to block an Amazon data center in #Tuscon AZ of all places.

👀 Hundreds of people showed up for an Anti-Elon protest at the Tesla dealership in Tucson. #Tesla #Tuscon #protest #coup

"200 plus in Tucson this morning. And the honking as cars drove by was almost constant. My inner 5-year old was most delighted by the big hauler truck that laid on the BIG horn all the way through the intersection"

It monsooned again this evening. It monsooned real hard. Temp dropped 20°.

#Tuscon

Hardly ever saw clouds lit up from below before moving here. Now it’s practically routine.

#Tuscon

(black shadow wobbles by in mid-air)

There goes the Palo Verde beetle, one of the chunkier airborne arthropods in our neighborhood and occasionally confused with other root borer species.

(mid-air black shadow wobbles in the other direction)

The main hazard of the Palo Verde beetle is —

(shadow hits a street sign with an audible clang and drops to the ground)

— is that they are not very good flyers.

(pause, beetle takes to the air again, slightly wobblier)

#Tuscon

Ah now that’s the kind of sky I’m used to. Sure it’s 100F but I’m dressed for 100F, there’s a lovely cooling breeze, just enough humidity that you don’t build a thirst by breathing, and the sun is nowhere to be seen. Bliss.

#Tuscon

We had sucker holes in Washington too, but they usually don’t look like hellmouths.

#Tuscon

Holy crap this sunset.

#Tuscon

Any random stranger: "So how are you enjoying the move from western Washington state to Arizona?"

@IamMrsGeek : "I love it! I didn't realize how much I needed the sunshine and warmth."

Me: "WHAT IS GOING ON WHY IS EVERYTHING SO MEAN IS THIS WHY DESERT GODS ARE ALL SUCH BASTARDS"

#Tuscon

One challenge I did not expect from our move to #Tuscon is getting mail. Apparently there's a locksmith who must make a key for our mailbox, and they only have one locksmith for a city of half a million people?

Neither of these things make sense.

There is no new business. Sometimes there is, sometimes there isn't. There's another chance tomorrow afternoon.

Congratulations to the ignorant, #antisemitic #hateMongers at the #DemocraticSocialistsOfAmerica for intentionally creating a safety threat so significant that Jewish reggae artist #Matisyahu's concert in #Tuscon had to be canceled. The #DSA have turned themselves into a bona fide, intellectually and morally bankrupt #hateGroup with their overt #antisemitism, and celebration of #IslamicTerrorists. May all the worst things in life happen to them.

We watched a lot of #yellowstone so we decided we had to check out the #rodeo in #tuscon #arizona

I consider myself to be fairly masculine most of the time... but I'm not jump of one moving animal onto another moving animal and tackle it to the ground with my hands masculine.

Not sure it's such a great time for the cows.
